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.
•A thoroughly updated comprehensive guide dedicated solely to North Cyprus
•The current political situation plus cross-border travel within the island
•Monasteries, churches and classical ruins
