Cyprus tucked away in the top right hand corner of the
Mediterranean is so close to Europe, Asia and Africa that it
rightly, claims to be a stepping stone to three continents. Its
warm Mediterranean climate, its delightful landscape of
contrast and its rich culture heritage make Cyprus one of the
most beautiful islands in the world.

• The main language in Cyprus is Greek and the population was
estimated at 792,604. Nicosia, the capital city, is located centrally on
the island. It is divided into two sections, with Turkish and Greek
communities separated by a fortified border. Limasol and Larnaka, the
other two main cities, are on the southern coast of the island and
Paphos on the west. The most important cities in Northern Cyprus are
Famagusta and Kyrenia.
• Cyprus consists of two mountainous regions, separated by the
Mesaoria plain. The Troodos, the southern mountain group, is taller
with the highest peak, Mount Olympus, rising two thousand metres
above sea level. The Kyrenia mountain group, in the north, is about
half as high; the Pentadaktylos Mountain is very striking with a peak
resembling five fingers.

• An island whose rich dramatic history can be traced back
over nine thousand years; an island so coveted over the
centuries that it has been invaded and claimed by a
fascinating mixture of civilizations from near and far
(Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans,
Frankish, Venetians, English, Turks) all of which have left
their culture and shaped its character.
• An island whose archaeology stems from the Neolithic
Age, the Ancient Greeks and the Roman period; where
churches and monasteries still stand from Byzantine times;
castles and palaces from the days of Crusaders and
Frankish Lusignans and splendid city walls from Venetian
days.

withdraw from Cyprus and maintains the islands
