Cyprus
is a paradise island of incomparable natural beauty,
full of unique historical treasures. It lies in
the clear blue waters of the Eastern Mediterranean,
just 40 miles off the coast of Turkey, 60 miles
from Syria and 250 miles from Egypt. After Sicily
and Sardinia, it is the third largest island in
the Mediterranean Sea.
Sunshine,
blue sky and beaches are the criteria that determine
many people's choice of holiday destination or
a place to live, and in the summer months Cyprus
scores hat-trick. But the island is not only a
paradise for indolent sun-seekers: archaeological
finds dating back to 7,000 BC, medieval castles,
remote mountain villages, and inviting cedar forests,
orange groves and vineyards attract more adventurous
travelers too.
