About Cyprus

A Eurasian island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, rich in historical culture-with the earliest known human activity dating back to the 10th millennium BC. The country is home to the Neolithic village of Khirokitia, a UNESCO world heritage site with perfectly preserved archaeological remains. Cyprus also contains some of the oldest water wells in the world, well-preserved French Gothic and Italian Renaissance architecture, and religious paintings and artwork from the Middle Ages.

The two major ethnic groups in the country are Greek and Turkish Cypriots, each maintaining their own distinct culture. The traditional folk music and cuisine of Cyprus has Greek, Turkish and Arabic influences.

Cyprus is bordered by Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Greece, Rhodes and Kastelorizo. The island is dominated by two mountain ranges, the Troodos Mountains and the smaller Kyrenia Range. Mount Olympus is the highest point on Cyprus and is located in the center of the Troodos range.

Cyprus was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement, and has an advanced and high-income economy. Several offshore businesses have made Cyprus their base because of its highly developed infrastructure. The trade partners of Cyprus are Greece, Germany, UK, Italy, Israel, China, Netherlands and France.
