You've got to be kidding me, December 17, 2002

By	David W. Tschanz - See all my reviews

Lonely PLanet makes fine books but this is NOT one of them. I have toured the island several times and apparently the author and I have not been to the same places. Or rather the writer merely went as far as the nearest tourist office and copied the local brochures. I found his descriptions of all of the historical sites inaccurate -- museums the size of 10 x 10 room are described as "large" and worth half a day; sites are described as "near the village" when they are right in the middle -- hence the author was never there. The language glossary doesn't even include "Please, Thank You or Excuse Me."

First visit to Cyprus, September 12, 2005

By	Jim R. "Jim R." (Miramar, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Cyprus (Paperback)

Will leave this week for my first trip to Cyprus for a business and partial pleasure trip. The book had all the information I needed so far and found it very useful to plan my trip. It was set up in a logical and easy to understand manner and I will take it with me for reference. It even had some basic language phrases and local customs that might come in useful. After the trip, I could then judge better if it was accurate. At this time I assume it is because it is of a recent printing.
