Summary: By far the better of the two Cyprus books I bought
Comment: I bought The Rough Guide to Cyprus and the Blue Guide Cyprus at the same time. I've had the chance to live on Cyprus for about a year so I've had time to read both and compare what they say with my experience of the island. And the result is that I highly recommend this book. It has well written and fairly detailed sections pertaining to the islands history and culture. Each region of Cyprus is dealt with in reasonable detail. Additionally, the book does not shy away from the difficult political and social issues that vex Cyprus, and in my opinion is even handed in assigning blame and praise (there is plenty to go around!). I didn't feel at all like one of the other reviewers, that the author disliked Cyprus. Cyprus is a bit of a difficulty as well as a bit of paradise - in fact, it's history and current reality are quite heart rending to grasp. But there is still much to appreciate. This book has been invaluable to me.

Summary: Dont buy this book
Comment: I bought this guide for the summer I am spending in cyprus. The author clearly didnt like the island: his description of most things are tainted with a negativity and he clearly didnt get beyond the tourist traps. He fails to include essential information, like phone numbers anda proper listing of hotels. If I had stuck with the book I never would have discovered the wonderful things that the island has to offer. If you cant find a good book, rather look at online sites (like gonomad.com has great info).

Summary: Great for the independent low-budget traveler!
Comment: I used the Rough Guide last spring when I traveled independently to Cyprus from Israel. I found it to be very comprehensive and accurate. There are lots of maps, phone numbers and other useful info. It is great for someone wanting the nitty-gritty details of how to get around and how much money to bring. I especially appreciated the suggestions for good low-budget accomodations.
