Product Description
Product Description
Over two million people visit Cyprus every year and this new Traveller’s History retells the complete story of the island’s past and also touches on the sensitive present-day issues for both parts of the island. Although Cyprus is a relatively small island, its position in the East Mediterranean has always given it strategic importance beyond its size. 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, shaped by so many civilisations making leaving their mark upon Cypriot soil. The book includes Historical Gazetteer, Chronology of Major Events, Index, Bibiliography and historical and contemporary maps.

He regularly gives lectures on the island both in the UK and Cyprus. He is co-author of 'A Traveller's History of Greece' and is about to publish 'The Political Culture of Cyprus' later this year to join his three publications about Cyprus.

We have recently been to Cyprus for a holiday and had a great time.
When we returned home my wife decided that she would like a book on the history of the island.
I havnt read it but I know that she really enjoyed it and also learned a lot from it

A good read that includes everything about the island's history that a serious visitor would wish to know, but history in Cyprus is constant and it needs an update such as the note in the "Rough" Guide for years after 2005.
