The Karpas:
From the piece titled 'The Waterfront Wonder of a Cypriot Retreat', The Times, October 28th 2009 - 'For a truely magical experience, head for the 'panhandle' of the Karpas peninsula to explore the mosaics of Ayios Trias, the Christian baslica above the Roman harbour at Philion and, at the very end of the peninsula St Andrew's Monastery. In between, swim in the clear blue bays on the east coast and picnic on sands so untrampled that flowers grow on them'.
