From Travel Info
Welcome to Cyprus, an island consisting of legends and myths that bathes year round in the baske of the warm Mediterranean sun. With 11,000 years of long history, this land has experienced civilizations to come and go, from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra. All emperors were attracted by the island's beauty (The Cyprus Mystique) and perfect climate.
On the other hand, Gods and Goddesses, such as Aphrodite made their home in Cyprus, and travellers throughout antiquity came here just to pay them tribute.
Today Cyprus is a modern country that enjoys a full membership of the European Union. The place naturally blends European culture with ancient enchantment. There is something to enjoy for all taste, eye-catching sandy beaches and scented
mountains, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local café. The friendliness of its people embrace a carefree place, perfect to live in, and everyone can enjoy the warmth and kindness of the people.
