Synopsis

A pictorial and descriptive journey through the history and beauty of the paradise island of Cyprus then we venture onto the Holy Land to Jerusalem and Bethlehem before finishing our Journey in the land of the Pharaohs, Egypt to visit the Pyramids and the City of Cairo. Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an Island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, off the coasts of Syria and Turkey. Cyprus is the third largest and third most populous Island in the Mediterranean, and has been a member state of the European Union since May 1^st 2004. It is located 40 miles south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon, northwest of Israel and Palestine and north of Egypt. This location makes it an ideal holiday destination where the visitor can enjoy the history and beauty of the Island or spend some time visiting the Pyramids and the Holy Land as part of their holiday experience. This is exactly what I did when I stayed on the Island. Places to visit on Cyprus are endless and there is something to suit everyone with a wealth of historic sites, walking trails, museums, landmarks, monuments, festivals, carnivals and quality shopping. In this book we will visit the great beaches, towns and villages on the lovely Island of Cyprus before going to see the Pyramids of Egypt and then visit the Holy Land and the city of Jerusalem. Cyprus is an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. It has a history that stretches back more than 10,000 years. It has seen civilizations come and go and been visited by the likes of Alexander the Great. Queen Cleopatra of ancient Egypt has ruled here. I hope that you will enjoy our visit to this lovely Island.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alan was born in the city of Norwich in the county of Norfolk, England in 1949. When Alan was still a teenager he started painting whilst attending art classes in Norwich. In his mid-teens he had two paintings accepted for a National Art Exhibition held in London and other major UK cities. He rarely picked up a paint brush until Alan, his wife Susie and daughter Ginny (his other daughter Mandy is married and lives with her husband Adrian in Sheffield) moved out of the city of Norwich into the Norfolk countryside in 1993. They moved to a little West Norfolk village. The village was very peaceful and pretty. This helped inspire Alan to take up watercolour painting once again. In 2004 they moved to another small West Norfolk village near Downham Market where they still live today.
