This map shows the route of Ottoman Cyprus Campaign from İstanbul to Limassol in 1570. This study uses the knowledge coming from an article written by İdris Bostan on the naval routes, the types of ships used, and information about time. Information on the route that the navy followed or anchored harbours were mapped on ArcGIS software via Kitâb-ı Bahriye of Piri Reis. After georeferencing, the route has been drawn between these places on ArcGIS using bathymetry data. Lastly distance and pace of the campaign was calculated and analysed with ArcGIS software.
