Divided into Turkish (north) and Greek (south) -speaking entities since 1974, the island of Cyprus is feeling its way towards reunification and, once again, tourists are able to cross from one side of the island to the other without having to go viaIstanbul. This large-scale, detailed map shows the entire island and is perfect for touring, either by bus and shared taxi or by rented car. In the south, drive up to the remote Akámas peninsula or through the impressive Tróödhos mountains; in the north, which is much less developed for tourism, you'll have the charming port city of Kyrenia is the main event, and fine beaches of the Kárpas peninsula, pointing towards Syria, are often all but deserted.
