Description
With illustrations and historicals and topographical notes. “Paphos is the most attractive district of the Island of Cyprus, for it combines natural beauty with monuments of a most glorious past. There are few landscapes in the Island, or for that matter, in the Near East, which can compare with its rugged seashores, the ideal position of its capital, Ktema, the Dhiorizos Valley, the Isle of St. George near the coast at Pegeia, the enchanted spring of Fontana Amorosa at Akamas, the magnificent Paphos-Kykkos Forest, and the Byzantine Monasteries of Saint Neophytos and of the All-holy Virgin Mary Khrysorroyiatissa in their picturesque setting amid wooded hills”. – Preface A rare, out-of-print and second edition guide concerning Paphos district.
