Maps from Kitchener’s survey of Cyprus 1878 – 1883, a new version of the web-based interactive app Tags:cyprus 4 comments The link: [https://kitchener.hua.gr/](https://kitchener.hua.gr/) I saw a part of this map in a book cover but never actually knew where it came from, thank you for posting! Such a nice map This is very interesting. The resolution is much better than I expected. Thank you for sharing Can anyone educate me on why Nicosia isn’t called Lefkosia and Limassol isn’t called Lemesos? I can only imagine early exlporers … “what do you call this area?” … “Εν Λευκωσία” … “ahhh. Nicosia… lovely” Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
