  • CYPRUS Cyprus in Your Heart

    CYPRUS Cyprus in your Heart Life is the Journey That You Make It It is often said that life is not only what you are given, but what you make of it. In the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus, its warm inhabitants have truly taken the motto to heart. Whether it’s an elderly man who basks under the shade of a leafy lemon tree passionately playing a game of backgammon with his best friend in the village square, or a mother who busies herself making a range of homemade delicacies for the entire family to enjoy, passion and lust for life are experienced at every turn. And when glimpsing around a hidden corner, you can always expect the unexpected. Colourful orange groves surround stunning ancient ruins, rugged cliffs embrace idyllic calm turquoise waters, and shady pine covered mountains are brought to life with clusters of stone built villages begging to be explored. Amidst the wide diversity of cultural and natural heritage is a burgeoning cosmopolitan life boasting towns where glamorous restaurants sit side by side trendy boutiques, as winding old streets dotted with quaint taverns give way to contemporary galleries or artistic cafes. Sit down to take in all the splendour and you’ll be made to feel right at home as the locals warmly entice you to join their world where every visitor is made to feel like one of their own. 2 Beachside Splendour Meets Countryside Bliss Lovers of the Mediterranean often flock to the island of Aphrodite to catch their breath in a place where time stands still amidst the beauty of nature.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

    1 Memorandum Ownership Status of Hotels and Other

    MEMORANDUM OWNERSHIP STATUS OF HOTELS AND OTHER ACCOMODATION FACILITIES IN THE OCCUPIED PART OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus hereby publishes a list1 of hotels situated in the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus. The majority of these hotels belong to Greek Cypriot displaced persons who were forced to leave their properties following the Turkish invasion of 1974 or have been built illegally on properties belonging to displaced Greek Cypriots, in violation of the latter’s property rights and without their consent. A number of hotels belong to Turkish Cypriots or have been built on land belonging to Turkish Cypriots. The European Court of Human Rights, in its Judgment of 18 December 1996, on the individual application of the Greek Cypriot displaced owner from Kyrenia, Mrs. Titina Loizidou, against Turkey, and in the Fourth Interstate Application of Cyprus against Turkey of 10 May 2001, upheld the rights of the refugees to their properties. In the Loizidou case, the Court ordered the Government of Turkey to compensate the applicant for the time period of deprivation of use of her property and to provide full access and allow peaceful enjoyment of her property in Kyrenia. The right of the displaced owners to their properties was reconfirmed in the decision of the European Court of Human Rights (Dec. 2005) regarding the application of Myra Xenides- Arestis v. Turkey, and has since been repeatedly reconfirmed in a multitude of cases brought by Greek Cypriot owners of property in the occupied part of Cyprus against Turkey]. It should also be reminded that, according to the United Nations Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons (the Pinheiro principles) “all refugees and displaced persons have the right to have restored to them any housing, land or property of which they were arbitrarily or unlawfully deprived..”.

  • Agia Napa Monastery

    Agia Napa Monastery

    Agia Napa Monastery 1 The monastery of Agia Napa and its namesake village are located in the Famagusta district, in southeast Cyprus. The name Napa derives from the ancient Greek word “Napi”, which means wooded valley or canyon. The word is mentioned in Homer’s Iliad, in Pindar’s Pythian Odes, and later in the Christian hymnology. In the past, there was lush vegetation in that part of the Famagusta district, whereas in the area where the village and monastery exist today there used to be an idyllic wooded valley with springs. In ancient times there was a Greek city named Thronoi in that valley, and a temple dedicated to Aphrodite. With the advent of Christianity, the city declined and all that remained eventually was ruins. However, the valley with its dense forest and plentiful water supply became popular with hunters, who converged here in search of game. When the miraculous icon of Virgin Mary was found, the word spread quickly to the neighbouring villages and the cave in that remote valley became a shrine and a sacred pilgrimage for the Orthodox Christians of the area. That icon was named “The Icon of Agia Napa”, i.e. the icon of Virgin Mary of the Forest, and the shrine was named “Agia Napa”. The area around the Monastery was uninhabited until 1790, when a group of people arrived there, having fled Thessaloniki because of an outbreak of cholera. Of that group, only Nicholas Kemitzis and his son survived. The son later married a Cypriot girl from the village of Panagia, located in the hills north of the monastery, where the water of Agia Napa flows from.

    Kalopsidha: Forty-Six Years After SIMA Volume 2

    7 Kalopsidha: forty-six years after SIMA volume 2 Jennifer M. Webb A report on the excavations at Kalopsidha Tsaoudhi part of a volume devoted to Åström’s excavations Chiflik was published by Paul Åström in the second in 1959 at Kalopsidha and Ayios Iakovos (Åström volume of SIMA (Åström 1966). My own copy, which 1966: 7–143). In addition to the description of the has been in my possession since 1974 (the year in site and finds, it contains chapters by Åström on which I first met Paul), is now frayed and missing its Cypriot Bronze Age pot marks (Part III) and Middle back cover. In focusing on this volume, the first of over and Late Cypriot Plain White Hand-made ware relief 40 which Paul authored, co-authored or edited for bands (Part IV), each of which provides a corpus of SIMA, my intention is to trace the history of this site all material available at that time. There are also 11 within and beyond the SIMA corpus – with respect to specialist reports and the description of the tombs and both the archaeological record and its interpretation – discussion of Bronze Age pottery include ‘comments’ and to consider the enduring value of site reports and by Merrillees and Popham. The publication stands out those who support their publication. Kalopsidha was as an early example of a multidisciplinary site report occupied through most of the Bronze Age. It is typical and a testament to the collaborative spirit which Paul of many sites in Cyprus which have been investigated always showed toward other scholars.
