'The best guide to the north.' The Daily Telegraph
Product Description
In spite of hotel and property development, North Cyprus retains a rugged charm that the south has long since left behind. Now in its sixth edition,North Cyprus caters to travellers interested in exploring ancient and modern culture, including the recent history behind the estranged Turkish north and Greek south. In-depth historical details accompany listings for the many classical ruins, monasteries, churches and castles, and a handy timeline in the background information section provides a broad historical overview. Visit the remote Karpas Peninsula with its charming villages and deserted beaches, stroll along picturesque Girne harbour, or hike to St Hilarion – one of North Cyprus’s three Crusader castles.

Format:Paperback
I have just returned from TRNC (21/10/01) where I used four guides: This one, the Landmark N Cyprus guide and the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet offerings. Of the four this was the most up to date (despite all 4 having similar publication dates of early 2000), and the most detailed in its descriptions of towns and places to visit. Together with the Landmark guide it had the advantage of being dedicated to the North of the divide. The LP and RG, however were better for listings of hotels, restaurants, etc, the Bradt guide tending to scatter them within the context of describing a tour of an area. The Landmark guide had more and better pictures and a less dry and wordy layout, which I found better for choosing where to go, but this, the Bradt, guide was the best reference once there, with good advice on how to find and tour sites like Salamis. It is also significantly lighter than the glossier Landmark guide.
As a general note the military presence in coastal and other resort areas has reduced significantly and the roads have improved rapidly since any of the guides were published. The other big change that I found was the widespread acceptance of credit cards (dominantly Visa, but in many cases MC too) and far more ATMs not only in the major towns but also in some resort areas.

There's not a great deal of choice which is why it is fortunate this is an excellent book, a must before for those going to North Cyprus. Covers Monasteries and classical ruins, wildlife and Flora. The major cities of Girne (Kyrenia), Lefkosa (Nicosia) and Famagusta. The ordinary tourist stuff, money exchange, transport and where to eat and visit as well as Language etc.

We perused this book prior to our visit to Northern Cyprus and found it extremely helpful - my only criticism would be that, despite an update in November 2008, suggested prices for restaurants were seriously understated - as if they had not been updated for 10 years or so. Apart from that, it is a very good and useful guide with lots of information, both historic and contemporary.

Not quite up but a Guide
While the guide is a guide it has short comings when it comes to touring or sightseeing. Maps are lite on the detail and where to eat is not complete. Read more

Great support for my first visit
Aware of the fact that Northern Cyprus is somewhat different to the South, I needed a guide book that would concentrate on the North which this one does to excellent effect.

Subtle
To say that North Cyprus is dammed with faint praise, would be an understatement. The subtlety takes time to appreciate, and is all the better following reflection. Read more
