Cyprus may be a small country, but it's a large island - in fact the third largest in the Mediterranean, with a population of around 700,000. An island with a turbulent history, Cyprus' unique position as a stepping stone between Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa has seen many nations battle to rule her sun-kissed shores.

With distances so short on the island, it's even possible to combine a day sightseeing in town with time on the beach or in the mountains. A visitor could head up into the mountains to ski in the morning and still have time for a swim in the sea in the afternoon!

The friendliness and hospitality of the Cypriot people is legendary. Cypriots have a special talent for making visitors feel at home, from the moment they step off the plane until the day they leave, and it is this warm welcome combined with the unhurried pace of daily life that makes Cyprus a lifelong favorite of all those who visit.

This island is a fascinating land of contrasts. While it boasts some of the most sophisticated cities in the region, you don't have to travel far to find yourself transported back in time. Drop into almost any village taverna, or join the locals at a town market, and you'll witness a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for years.

Taking pleasure in enjoying life is at the heart of the Cypriot personality. Observe the fun Cypriots have when they go out - particularly in large family groups - and you will see how important the lust for life is on this enchanted island.

Cyprus has that special something for everyone....from gorgeous beaches and cosmopolitan towns to its spectacular pine-clad mountains and time forgotten villages where the famous Cypriot hospitality can be at its best.

GEOGRAPHY: Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean. The landscape varies between rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, rocky hills and forest-covered mountains. The Troodos Mountains in the centre of the island rise to almost 1952m (6400ft) and provide good skiing during the winter. Between these and the range of hills which run eastward along the north coast and the ‘panhandle’ is the fertile Messaoria Plain. The Morphou Basin runs around the coast of Morphou Bay in the west.

Cyprus is may be a small country, but it's a large island - the third largest in the Mediterranean. And it's an island with a big heart - an island that gives its visitors a genuine welcome and treats them as friends.

Cyprus with its spectacular scenery and enviable climate, it's no wonder that Aphrodite chose the island as her playground, and since then, mere mortals have been discovering this 'land fit for Gods' for themselves.

Cyprus is an island of beauty and a country of contrasts. Cool, pine-clad mountains are a complete scene-change after golden sun-kissed beaches. Tranquil, timeless villages are in striking contrast to modern cosmopolitan towns; luxurious beachside hotels can be exchanged for large areas of natural unspoiled countryside; yet in Cyprus all distances are easily manageable, mostly on modern roads and highways - with a secondary route or two for the more adventurous. Most important of all, the island offers peace of mind. At a time when holidays are clouded by safety consciousness, a feeling of security prevails everywhere since the crime level is so low as to be practically non-existent.

The Test of Time

Few countries can trace the course of their history over 9.000 years, but in approximately 6.800 BC the island of Cyprus was already inhabited and going through its Neolithic Age. Of all the momentous events that were to sweep the country through the next few thousand years, one of the most crucial was the discovery of copper - or Cuprum in Latin - the mineral which was to give its name to the island and generate untold wealth. The island's strategic position, its copper deposits and its timber attracted the first Greeks who came to the island over 3.000 years ago at the end of the Trojan wars. They settled down bringing in with them and establishing the Greek identity, language and civilization. Over the centuries Cyprus came under the sway of various rulers including the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, the successors to Alexander the Great and the Romans, before Cyprus became part of the Byzantine Empire. Later came the Crusaders, the Lusignans and Venetians, Ottomans and British. Cyprus won it independence in 1960, for the first time in 3.500 years, but the Greek identity of language and culture has been retained. In July 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and since then 37% of the island in the north, is being illegally occupied by Turkish troops who acted in violation of all principles governing international relations.

Nature’s Gift

From the topmost point of Mount Olympus to the coasts and sweeping plains, Cyprus is nature's island. Many exquisite wild flowers grow in splendid profusion in springtime. Trees, shrubs and plants luxuriate in the Mediterranean sunshine all year round. Bright bougainvillea blazes vividly against white walls, reflecting its splendor in the crystal clear waters. Cyprus is also prized for its bird life, and the migratory birds that use the country as a stopover are eagerly awaited between seasons. Due to the wonderful climate and variety of scenery, the island offers endless opportunities for nature lovers and outdoor sports fans. Activities such as angling, mountain-biking, hiking, gliding, golf, sea sports and yachting are but a few of the special activity holidays that the island offers.With so many possibilities, Cyprus is a, bird watcher's paradise.

Colorful CultureIt is probably no surprise with a history so long, that Cyprus is remarkably rich in culture. Its importance has been honored by UNESCO, which has included nine of the island's Byzantine Mountain churches and the entire town of Kato Pafos in its World Cultural Heritage List.Wherever you tread in Cyprus you are reminded of a strong tradition that is kept alive from generation to generation through the many events which are celebrated.Hardly a week goes by in Cyprus without a celebration of some sort, whether it is a colorful festival or homage to a saint on one of the numerous 'name days'. The 'Panigiri', a traditional open-air fete, takes place mainly in the villages on the occasion of a Saint’s name day.

Easter, the most important Greek Orthodox religious event, is celebrated with solemnity, joy and hope.Carnival is one of the best known Cypriot celebrations, along with 'Anthestiria', the Spring Flower festival, and 'Kataklysmos' - the festival of the Flood - which coincides with Pentecost. Throughout the year there are also exhibitions, concerts, drama and folk festivals. Cypriot culture is also reflected in the rich folk art of the island. Skilful hands and nimble fingers, fashioning handicrafts, both decorative and useful, that would grace any home, faithfully carry on age-old crafts, handed down from one generation to another, to this day. The Greek Orthodox Church has been the mainstay of religion in Cyprus since the 1st century A.D., and in a society where the church continues to play an important role, old style values have been maintained and the family unit retains close-knit qualities that keep colorful customs alive and underline the warmhearted character of Cyprus
