A team of expert writers and photographers has explored the easternmost island of the Mediterranean for you, and by combining an incisive exposition with the journalistic style characteristic of the entire series, it presents an in-depth picture of its complex reality. We talk not only about the mild and healthy climate, medieval castles, remote mountain villages, idyllic beaches and hospitable people, but also about the struggles and passions that continue to animate the land of Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty born from the waves of Cyprus. After a thrilling account of 8,000 years of turbulent history, the volume describes the culture and traditions of this country, its inhabitants and its politicians, its food and its festivals. The itineraries section follows, with exhaustive reports of all the places to visit, completed by detailed geographical maps. Finally, the guide briefly offers all the practical information necessary for preparing the trip, with lists of hotels, restaurants and useful addresses, with over 300 pages illustrated with splendid color photographs.
