On the way to Bellapais. Northern Cyprus. A journey through an unknown country. Illustrated edition.
'On the Way to Bellapais' takes us to a country that no government in the world recognises apart from Turkey - to the 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus', the northern part of the Mediterranean island that has been divided since 1974. The author travels on foot, by bus and by hitchhiking across the Turkish part of Cyprus: from Girne and Bellapais via Famagusta and Varosha to Dipkarpaz on the Karpas Peninsula, from there to the divided capital, Levkosa, and meets locals who tell him about their hopes and fears. In many places, he follows in the footsteps of the British writer Lawrence Durrell, whose 1957 Cyprus classic 'Bitter Lemons' achieved world fame. - Illustrated edition with numerous photos.
