Sights and Scenery from around Cyprus

As I was teaching at the Northern Cyprus Campus of METU for the inaugural 2005-2006 academic year, I found a chance to travel around Cyprus and wanted to share this with everyone. I occasionally travel to Cyprus and I plan to update the site from time to time. For panoramic photographs, you can click on the photos to enlarge them.

Unless otherwise noted the pictures are by Adil or Yasemin ORAN. The pictures may be used for non-commercial purposes provided that appropriate reference is given.

The Map below is from a 1570 Atlas by Abraham Ortellius called the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". If you would like to read the map description (in latin) from the Atlas just click on the map.
