Nicosia


Nicosia (Greek: Λευκωσια - Lefkosia; Turkish: Lefkosa) is the capital and largest city of Cyprus. The city is located on the Pedhieos River, the longest river in Cyprus, and lies approximately in the center of the island. Since 1974, the city has been divided into northern (Turkish) and southern (Greek) parts separated by an United Nations maintained demilitarized zone, known as the "Green Line" - although since 2004 it has been possible to walk across at certain designated points.

In total, approximately 309,500 people live in the urban area of around Nicosia. This is divided between about 224,500 in the Greek areas, and about 85,000 in the Turkish areas.

Cyprus Travel Guide - What To See & Do In 2012

Kindle Edition

Cyprus Travel Guide - What To See & Do In 2012
 
Product Description:

Kindle version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to Cyprus, the beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. After Sicily and Sardinia, Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean. Although the island is geographically in Asia it is politically a European country and is a member of the European Union.

Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom in 1960. Despite a constitution which guaranteed a degree of power-sharing between the Greek Cypriot majority and the Turkish Cypriot minority, the two populations – with backing from the governments of Greece and Turkey, respectively – clashed vehemently in 1974, with the end result being the occupation of the northern and eastern 40% of the island by Turkey. In 1983, the Turkish-held area declared itself the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus".

Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand. We include a fully linked Table of Contents and internally to access context-specific information quickly and easily when offline. Many web links are included as well for additional information.

Updated January 2012.

Works on Kindle and on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows PC, Mac, Windows Phone, etc. using the free Kindle Reader software.
