 details not up to standards, but a few good recommendations May 14, 2007

it doesn't seem the fact-checking was very good here, unless a bunch of different museums in cyprus decided to change their structure of hours in the past twelve months (we missed three different museums because the guide said they were open late starting in may, rather than only july and august). also, we lost half an hour going around in circles in Paphos in a restaurant that was put on the right road, but 2 km south of where it should have been. normally, i'm used to lonely plant doing a better job of verification on these kinds of things, and if i'm not able to rely on it for that, what's the point ?
nevertheless, we did get some good tips and ideas here.

I used Lonely Planet Cyprus a week after it became available (June 2006) and appreciated its compact size, Highlights section, Itinerary suggestions, up-to-date prices, and organizational format. Having said that, I only used it about 5% of the time while my wife and I drove throughout the entire island. Carrying 3 other guidebooks (Rough Guide, DK, and DK Top 10), I found Lonely Planet to be far too brief in explaining the sites, falling well short of Rough Guide's more insightful and intelligent writing. I used Rough Guide 75% of the time and found that to be much better. Still, if someone only had Lonely Planet, they would have a fairly good tool to get around Cyprus to the main sites. It is only half the size of Rough Guide(272 pages vs. 550), which could be handy for travelers seeking to minimize their load. For in-depth understanding and off-the-beaten track exploration, however, Rough Guide would be the better choice.
