Cyprus on an indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map clearly shows the demarcation line and the UN buffer zone and indicates crossing points between the two parts of the island.

On the Greek side names of towns and villages are given in both alphabets, with geographical names and places of interest shown in the Latin alphabet only, and boundaries of administrative provinces are marked. North of the demarcation line many towns and villages show both their current and the old Greek names.

Topography is indicated by altitude colouring with spot heights and mountain passes, plus names of mountain ranges and peaks. Road information includes dirt roads and tracks. National parks or protected areas and picturesque towns or villages are highlighted and symbols mark campsites and numerous places of interest: forts and religious buildings, archaeological sites, beaches, surfing and fishing locations, riding stables, viewpoints, etc. Restricted entry areas, including the Akrotiri Base, are clearly mraked. The map has a UTM grid for GPS users, plus a latitude/longitude grid at intervals of 10’ and an extensive index of localities. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website under that imprint.

Sample of cartography:

Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
