Synopsis
Although Cyprus is a relatively small island, its position in the East Mediterranean has always given it strategic importance beyond its size. Well placed for travel from all over the globe with plenty of sunshine throughout the year - and a strong tradition in European culture, through British and Greek influence, Cyprus has become a favoured tourist destination. All visitors, whether to the Greek or Turkish side of the island, discover that Cyprus has an immensely rich history with many different civilisations and nations influencing the ruling the island.
