CYPRUS

Welcome to this Mediterranean pearl.

This 150 km (93 miles) long island is part of the Asian continent and enjoys 342 sunny days per year!

History fans, take note: 9,000 years of history await you there!!!


Fundamentally peaceful, the Cypriot people exhibit a kindness and hospitality that is immediately evident.


Only one thing disturbs the peace: the Turkish aggressor whose army has occupied the northern part of the island since 1974!
