North Cyprus

Series details

£12.99

This 5th edition of the Bradt's guide to the quieter, Turkish side of the divided Cyprus, gives an update on the political situation on the island while exploring historical elements like the estrangement between the Turkish North and the Greek South.
Discovery of classical ruins, monasteries, churches and castles is made easy and there is special coverage of Girne harbour - one of the most picturesque in the Mediterranean - and of the Karpas Peninsula, renowned for its turtle population and often referred to as the nature reserve of Cyprus.
Practical advices include a small Turkish phrasebook, expanded listings for specialist operators and updates on the complete range of restaurants, hotels, transport links and activities, and emphasis on sustainable, low-impact and eco-tourist options.
Includes 8 pages colour photos and 7 maps.

Diana Darke has travelled extensively throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and has worked for many years in Turkey, both sides of Cyprus and the Middle East. She is the author of several guides to Turkey. This new edition has been updated by Nigel Wallace.
