With development of North Cyprus's resorts, properties, and facilities growing rapidly, this new edition of Bradt's guide to the quieter, Turkish side of this divided island will be appreciated by tourists. Many travelers attracted to this part of the island are interested in exploring the ancient and modern culture of Cyprus, including the history behind the estrangement between the Turkish North and the Greek South, which is discussed in this guide. Discovery of classical ruins, monasteries, churches, and castles is made easy, and there is special coverage of the Karpas Peninsula, renowned for its turtle population and often referred to as the nature reserve of Cyprus. A multitude of suggestions on excursions are offered: from visiting Lefkosa--the divided city--to the fairy-tale St. Hilarion Castle (said to have been Walt Disney's inspiration for the palace in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs).Features include:>Expanded listings for specialist operators and updates on the complete range of restaurants, hotels, transport links, and activities>Exploring Girne harbor--one of the most picturesque in the Mediterranean>An update on the political situation on the island>Emphasis on sustainable, low-impact, and eco-tourist options
