Cyprus, home of Aphrodite, the famed Goddess of Love, where Occident and Orient meet in the midst of the Mediterranean. This work invites the reader to explore the sights of this beautiful island: untouched beaches on the Akamas Peninsula, unspoilt villages in the snow-capped Troodos Mountains, and Nicosia, the divided capital of the island. The "Info" sections at the end of each chapter help the reader with his or her choice of hotels or campsites. Information on museums, tavernas, and local festivals is also provided. In the guidelines section at the end of the book one will find tips on travel preparation, transportation, sports and recreation, as well as a useful Greek language guide.
