Located in the southeastern part of the Mediterranean, Cyprus is the third largest island in the sea after Sardinia and Corsica. The island is predominantly composed of ethnic Greek and Turks, taking much of its cultural heritage from the two countries.

The country is very geographically diverse, with two mountain ranges – the Troodos Mountains and Kyrenia Range – encircling a central plain. The island nation has numerous excellent beach resorts that attract millions of tourists each year, including near both international airports.

Nicosia is both the capital as well as the country’s largest city. It has been continuously inhabited for 4,500 years and, as a result, has a rich history and culture. It is definitely worth visiting when you decide to come for a visit!

If you plan on driving in Cyprus, it is useful to remember that the island was a British protectorate until 1960 and, as a result, the people drive on the left hand side of the road.
