  • 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.

  • Resource Stress and Subsistence Practice in Early Prehistoric Cyprus
    RESOURCE STRESS AND SUBSISTENCE PRACTICE IN EARLY PREHISTORIC CYPRUS by Seth L. Button A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Art and Archaeology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Sharon C. Herbert, Chair Professor Henry T. Wright Associate Professor Nicola Terrenato Associate Professor Lauren E. Talalay © Seth L. Button 2010 For my parents, Roger and Kathy Button, my first and best teachers. ii Acknowledgments First, I wish to thank the members of my committee: Sharon Herbert, Henry Wright, Nicola Terrenato, and Lauren Talalay. The professors and curators in IPCAA, the Kelsey Museum, and the Museum of Anthropology at Michigan also furnished welcome advice and assistance. On Cyprus I had the good luck to work with Sturt Manning, Carole McCartney, Steven Falconer, Kevin Fisher, Paul Croft, and Eilis Monahan. I am also grateful to Ian Todd and Allison South for their hospitality in Kalavasos, and for sharing their intimate knowledge of the Vasilikos Valley. Stuart Swiny and Alan Simmons patiently answered questions, while Bernard Knapp and Matthew Spigelman were kind enough to share drafts of their work. Most foreign scholars who work on Cyprus for any length of time come to know the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) in Nicosia as a second home. The Director, Tom Davis, Diana Constantinides, the Librarian, and Vathoulla Moustoukki, the Executive Assistant, helped with a hundred things. My fellow graduate students in IPCAA, anthropological archaeology, and Near Eastern Studies have been my most encouraging colleagues and most honest critics: Lindsey Ambridge, Lisa Cakmak, Cat Crawford, Henry Colburn, Ryan Hughes, Tom Landvatter, Amanda Logan, Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, Adrian Ossi, Colin Quinn, Dan iii Shoup, and Adela Sobotkova.

    ils tra ure nat d other Follow the E4 an us. pr Cy EUROPEAN LONG DISTANCE PATH E4 INTRODUCTION The European long distance path E4 was extended to Cyprus following a proposal by the Greek Ramblers Association to the European Ramblers Association, the coordinating body of the European Network of long distance paths. The main partners in Cyprus are the Cyprus Tourism Organisation and the Forestry Department. The path starts at Gibraltar, passes through Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, mainland Greece, the Greek island of Crete, to the island of Cyprus. In its Cyprus section, European path E4 connects Larnaka and Pafos international airports. Along the route, it traverses Troodos mountain range, Akamas peninsula and long stretches of cural areas, along regions of enhanced natural beauty and high ecological, historic, archaeological, cultural and scientific value. Few people have the time or the stamina to tackle the whole route in one go. The information given here is a general outline, to assist ramblers identify the path route. It is by no means a detailed description of all aspects of covered areas. Ramblers are strongly advised to research further any path section(s) to be attempted, with particular emphasis in the availability and proximity of overnight licensed accommodation establishments, especially in remote mountain and rural areas. It should be stressed that the route by no means represents all that Cyprus has to offer the rambler. It is primarily designed as cross- country route, and as such is inevitably selective, missing out some fine landscapes and/or cultural sites. It does however provide a sampler of the scenic and cultural variety that is Cyprus.
