Guida concisa (poco meno di 150 pagine) dell'isola di Cipro, nord e sud. Per il viaggio di quest'estate è andata benissimo e ha integrato le informazioni di viaggio in modo puntuale, coprendo tutte le tappe che ci interessavano (Pafos, Nicosia, Golden Beach nella parte nord, Salamina, Aya Napa). Ha anche una mappa cartacea estraibile e cartine particolareggiate per le varie sezioni: per esempio quella di Aya Napa ci ha permesso di individuare la posizione delle varie spiagge che ci interessavano. Formato pocket comodissimo per il bagaglio a mano.
