  • About Limassol
    ABOUT LIMASSOL The district of Limassol which covers the south part of Cyprus, borders with the district of Larnaca in the east, with the district of Paphos in the west, as well as with the capital Nicosia in the north. The area of Limassol is 1,393 km² i.e. 15% of the whole area of Cyprus. About 80 km of Limassol is washed by the sea. Combining its roles as the second largest city, the island's main port, the centre of the wine industry and a bustling holiday resort, Lemesos emerges as a spirited and cosmopolitan seaside town. Limassol is a lively town largely due to the character of Lemesolians, a fun- loving lot. No wonder it holds the island's two top festivals, the pre-lenten Carnival with fancy dress balls, parades and festivities and the Wine Festival in September, a wine extravaganza where wine flows freely for everyone to enjoy, courtesy of the local wineries. Limassol emerged out of the two most important ancient city-kingdoms, Amathous, to the east of the town, and Kourion to the west, both of which are being extensively excavated. The magnificent setting of the ancient Kourion Theater is used for summer concerts and theatrical productions. In the middle Ages, Limassol hosted the marriage of Richard the Lionheart with Berengaria of Navarre from whom he crowned Queen of England. Thereafter the Crusaders made their headquarters at the Square keep west of the city, known as Kolossi Medieval Castle, where they fostered the making of wines, particularly the sweet dessert wine “Commandaria” – the oldest named wine in the world.

GÜRSOY Bundan seksenbeş yıl önce Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun bir parçası iken, padişahın hükümranlık hakkı mahfuz kalmak üzere fiilî idaresi İngiltere'ye terkedilen, fakat 16 Ağustos 1960 tarihinden beri müstakil bir devlet haline gelmiş bulunan Kıbrıs adası, bugünün en çok ilgi toplayan konularından birini teşkil etmektedir. Muhtelif meslekten insanların gittikçe daha yakından meşgul olduğu bu eski yurt parçasına, ötedenberi Akdeniz memleketleri üzerinde: çalış­ tığımız için hususî bir alâka duymakta idik. Bu sebeple 1959 ve 1960 yaz tatillerinde Kıbrıs'a giderek onu yakından tanımaya karar verdik ve bütün adayı dolaşarak coğrafî müşahedeler yaptık. Bu müşahedelere imkân veren seyahatlerin yapılmasında maddî ve manevî müzaherette bulunmuş olan Fakültemiz Dekanlığı ile Ülkeler Coğrafyası Kürsü Profesörlüğüne, Kıbrıs Türk Kurumları Federasyonu Başkanlığına, Kıbrıs Türk Maarif Dairesi Müdür ve elemanlarına, orada yakın ilgilerini gördüğümüz eski ve yeni öğrencilerimize ve nihayet misafirperver Kıbrıslı Türk kardeşlerimize teşekkürü, yerine getirilmesi icabeden bir vazife sayarız. Kıbrıs hakkında yazılmış birçok eser ve makale vardır. Bunlar arasında seyahatnamelerle tarihi, siyasi, arkeolojik ve jeolojik çalışmalar zikredilmeye değer. 1929 senesinden evvel neşredilmiş olan 1500 den fazla eser, makale, 1) Türk Coğrafya Kurumu tarafından Konya'da tertip edilmiş olan XIII. Coğrafya Meslek Haftasında, 12 Kasım 1959 tarihinde verilen münakaşalı konferansın metni olup 1960 da ya­ pılan yeni müşahedelerle kısmen tadil ve tevsi edilmiştir.

  • UK Overseas Territories
    INFORMATION PAPER United Kingdom Overseas Territories - Toponymic Information United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself. The Queen is the Head of State of all the UKOTs, and she is represented by a Governor or Commissioner (apart from the UK Sovereign Base Areas that are administered by MOD). Each Territory has its own Constitution, its own Government and its own local laws. The 14 territories are: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory (BAT); British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT); British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Turks and Caicos Islands; UK Sovereign Base Areas. PCGN recommend the term ‘British Overseas Territory Capital’ for the administrative centres of UKOTs. Production of mapping over the UKOTs does not take place systematically in the UK. Maps produced by the relevant territory, preferably by official bodies such as the local government or tourism authority, should be used for current geographical names. National government websites could also be used as an additional reference. Additionally, FCDO and MOD briefing maps may be used as a source for names in UKOTs. See the FCDO White Paper for more information about the UKOTs. ANGUILLA The territory, situated in the Caribbean, consists of the main island of Anguilla plus some smaller, mostly uninhabited islands. It is separated from the island of Saint Martin (split between Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Netherlands)), 17km to the south, by the Anguilla Channel.

The Company’s forma- tion was an entrepreneurial move by the founders of Joannou & Paraskevaides Ltd., a successful construction company operating in Cyprus since 1941.The newly-formed international company grew steadily to become the dynamic organization it is today. After successfully completing its first overseas projects in North Africa in the 1960’s J&P rapidly expanded into the Gulf during the 1970’s. Over the next thirty years the Company broadened its operations throughout the world to become a global enterprise with a range of activities to meet the challenges of the industry. Today, J&P has a dynamic presence in the Middle East, Africa, the Asian Sub- continent and Europe. The core of the J&P Group’s operations is the Gulf Area and the GCC countries, with landmark projects in Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, with regional offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Muscat, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. During the mid-1980’s the company entered the Oil & Gas sector and has since built an impressive portfolio of successfully completed projects in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Cyprus in the upstream and downstream sectors, as well as in power generation.

  • University of Southampton Humanities Archaeology the Changing
    University of Southampton Humanities Archaeology The Changing Maritime Landscape of the Akrotiri Peninsula (1650 BC – AD 650) By Annabel Crawford This Dissertation is submitted in part-fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts September, 2016 Student Number: 27847284 ii Abstract The purpose of this study is to assess the changes in the geomorphology and archaeology of the Akrotiri peninsula during antiquity. By pulling together results from relevant investigations, I was able to assess the current state of knowledge, produce new hypotheses and offer recommendations for future research. This is the first time the geology and archaeology of the entire peninsula has been considered at all, let alone together, but the current interdisciplinary approach at Dreamer’s Bay and other locations across Cyprus paves the way for similar investigations at sites on the peninsula. Before that can happen, a summary of knowledge must be created from which to move forward. Research determined that interdisciplinary approaches had rarely been taken, although geological and archaeological material did exist separately, and in some cases overlapped with each other. The visibility of maritime activity increased throughout the study period, reflecting the general increase in the activity itself. A shift from the archaeologically ephemeral proto-harbours to engineered harbours occurred, although these proto-harbours still likely existed in areas of localised or smaller-scale activity. The settlements around which maritime activity and culture existed also grew across the periods despite occasional troughs, such as that which occurred at the end of the Late Cypriot period. The geological changes during this period were determined not to be as straightforward as the formation of the peninsula.

  • The Restorations of Ancient Monuments of Cyprus from the Establishment of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus in 1935 Until 2005
    Structural Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XII 45 The restorations of ancient monuments of Cyprus from the establishment of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus in 1935 until 2005 E. Limbouri Independent scholar, Cyprus Abstract The subject of this presentation is the restorations of the ancient monuments of Cyprus from the establishment of the Department of Antiquities in 1935 until the present day (2005), which was the theme of my dissertation. For a better understanding of the restorations, the time lap between 1935 and 2005 has been divided into four periods. The four periods have been specified according to the date-landmarks for the history of the island in general and for the operation of the Department of Antiquities in particular. The first period is a short chronicle of the restoration works in Cyprus until the establishment of the Department of Antiquities. Emphasis is being given to the last years of the 19th and the first years of the 20th century when the theories of restoration that were spread out in the United Kingdom affected the island which was, at that time, a British colony. The second period covers the interval 1935–1960, that is from the establishment of the Department of Antiquities by the Colonial Government until 1960 when Cyprus became independent. The third period covers the period 1960–1974, from the Independence until the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the fourth period extends from 1974 until 2005. In each period, we examine to see which were the monuments that were restored, if there were any tendencies in these restorations, and to what extent were the restorations on the monuments of Cyprus related to the principles and theories of restoration that existed in the same period in the rest of Europe as well as to those followed today.
