Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea situated in the east of Greece, west of Lebanon, Syria, and Israel, south of Turkey and north of Egypt. Although the island lies close to the Middle East, the Republic of Cyprus (Greek, or southern part of the island) is considered to be a European country and is a member of the European Union. After Sicily and Sardinia, Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
The mythical birthplace of Goddess Aphrodite, in our days Cyprus is de facto partitioned into four main parts:
- the area under effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, in the south of the island;
- the Turkish-controlled area in the north, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (recognized only by Turkey);
- the United Nations-controlled Green Line, or buffer zone separating the southern and the northern parts;
- two British Sovereign Base Areas (Akrotiri and Dhekelia).
However, the Republic of Cyprus, the internationally recognized state, has de jure sovereignty over the entire island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters except for 3% of its territory where two British military bases are located.
For visitors, the island's division means that, unfortunately, a choice must be made which half of the Cyprus to visit. The most popular choice is the southern side, from where a day-trip into the northern part is possible. Note that travelers from non-EU member states (as, for instance, Turkish citizens) must enter the island via one of the legal entry points (i.e. entry points in the Southern part of the island) in order to visit the Greek part.
Cyprus is one of the most popular tourist destinations. The ancient remains of the Roman, Byzantine and Greek empires as well as Mediterranean beaches and resorts attract over 2.4 million foreign visitors per year.
