In his autobiographical book, Bitter Lemons of Cyprus, British writer Lawrence Durrell takes the time to meditate about the beauty of the island and how the landscape and architecture were shaped over millennia of invasions and cohabitation with the conquerors. He reflects on the possibility of Cyprus becoming a too familiar place too soon due to its condition of an island but admits that it remains a paradisiac place even for the locals who are aware of the picturesque of their island and know how to sell this image to the tourists.
