Aspelia Naturalis redefines how Cyprus is seen. The title draws from Aspelia, the ancient Roman name for Cyprus mentioned in Pliny’s Naturalis Historia, meaning "Cyprus of Nature." Created over 15 years, the book moves beyond conqueror narratives or holiday clichés, offering an intimate view of the island’s rugged coasts, ancient ruins, and untamed wilderness. With love and respect, it invites readers to connect with Cyprus as a living, layered place. Featuring an environmental message and an outro by the late Dr. Martin Hellicar, it calls for preserving this beauty for future generations.
