- it has one of the oldest histories of the world, dating back 10,000 years.
Cyprus is an Island of almost infinite variety with superb mountain scenery, forests and fascinating coastlines and beaches, as well as places of great historical and archaeological importance.
"An Island Divided"
Cyprus has been popular among British retirees for years. Since 1974, when Turkish forces took control of the northern third of the island, it has been ethnically divided, although safe for both residents and visitors.
Friendly and very affordable
To say Cypriots are hospitable is like saying that lemons are yellow. The locals are incredibly friendly. Living costs are two-thirds less than in comparable southern European hotspots. |
