Cyprus is the Mediterranean’s third largest island after Sardinia and Sicily. Standing at the crossroads of three continents, it has a history and culture stretching back more than 10,000 years.  Situated between Europe, Africa and Asia, it brings together the history, religion, culture and civilisation of its neighbouring peoples and all those who have sought to conquer it from antiquity to modern times. Cyprus attracts millions of visitors every year from all over the world, who visit the island to learn about its history and culture from the Bronze Age right up to the modern day, to explore the island’s flora and fauna, to enjoy its glorious climate, to taste unique Cypriot dishes and to experience the authentic hospitality of its residents.
