In the eastern Mediterranean Sea lies the island of Cyprus, which has much to offer its visitors. While it’s got some great beaches and resorts, it’s got plenty of ancient history to it such as the classical Greek and Roman ruins and beehive huts of the primitive man. Besides these, there are more ancient history relics for visitors to explore and see.
The capital of Cyprus is Nicosia, which was established 1,000 years ago. Nicosia (or Lefkosia as it is sometimes known) is rather unique in Europe since a green line divides it. The green line cuts across the entire island, making sure to separate north and south. It was drawn in 1974 as a United Nations peacekeeping buffer. This is when the Turks invaded the country and took control of the northern part of the island.
Since 1974, any development in tourism has been in the southern half of Cyprus and despite the island’s fraction, it has yet to lose its luster for a vacationer’s holiday.
There are many reasons to enjoy the island of Cyprus. For starters, the island enjoys mostly sunny, dry weather. The sea surrounding it is alluringly clear and blue. There are tons of modernized, magnificent hotels found in the coastal towns, restored and preserved city grounds to check out along with the nightlife. On top of that, the island of Cyprus has isolated charming villages and monasteries. It’s got gorgeous-looking churches, alluring museums and Crusader castles.
Cyprus residents enjoy and welcome tourists to their country and offer to share their friendship and history for all willing to receive it.
