REISE KNOW-HOW MAP

This is a very detailed (1:150,000) map showing both UTM and Lat/Long grids. It is a little cumbersome in use (three horizontal folds and with the island split vertically just east of Larnaka), but the presence of UTM grids far outweighs these disadvantages.



The map is highly recommended and is available from Amazon.
