Well-placed for travel from all over the globe with plenty of sunshine throughout the year, Cyprus has become a favoured tourist destination. All visitors, whether to the Greek or Turkish side of the island, discover the immensely rich history which has resulted in so many civilisations making their mark upon its soil. Includes Historical Gazetteer, Chronology of Major Events, Index, Bibiliography and Historical and Contemporary Maps.
