Cyprus Travel Books
There are more than a handful of excellent books about the gorgeous island of Cyprus, however, you might not find one perfect book to review everything there is to know about Cyprus! That`s why one has to carefully select the topic one would like to research/read about regarding the incredible island called Cyprus, for example there are very good books about the history of the island like A Traveller's History Of Cyprus by Timothy Boatswain or fantastic books about the local cuisine in Cyprus like Taste of Cyprus by Gilli Davies.
When you buy a travel book about Cyprus
Make sure the book is about the Island of Cyprus or at least it is the "main theme" of a book about mediterranean islands. There is nothing more irritating than to buy a book about a specific region but you end up with an overview rather than in depth information of your favourite destination. Make sure that you buy a book that's not too old (published date) because the travel information could be out dated. If possible buy a book about Cyprus that has plenty of pictures, after all, you would like to see as much of the region as possible, so you can plan your trip accordingly. We've collected the (in our opinion) best travel books about Cyprus available. I hope you find the selection useful. Happy reading!

Climate
The Mediterranean climate, warm and rather dry, with rainfall mainly between November and March, favors agriculture. In general, the island experiences mild wet winters and dry hot summers. Variations in temperature and rainfall are governed by altitude and, to a lesser extent, distance from the coast. Hot, dry summers from mid-May to mid-September and rainy, rather changeable winters from November to mid-March are separated by short autumn and spring seasons.Winds are generally light to moderate and variable in direction. Strong winds may occur sometimes, but gales are infrequent over Cyprus and are mainly confined to exposed coastal areas as well as areas at high elevation.
