Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea
It has a very high strategic importance. It forms the intersection of three continents; Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Cyprus was a British colony until 1960 when it got its independence. In the year 1974, Cyprus got divided into two separate states – the north part is called TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) and the south part called The Republic of Cyprus. The boundary separating the two sides is known as the “Green Line” it runs through Nicosia (Lefkosa) the capital of both North and South Cyprus. Nowadays there are five border crossings offering 24-hour unrestricted access for Cypriots and EU citizens to pass through North and South Cyprus.
Tourism in Cyprus is what helps you never get bored throughout the year.
There are a lot of Museums, Mosques, Churches and ancient places to discover. Shipwreck Museum, for example, is where the oldest trading ship ever recovered from sea is. St. Sophia Cathedral, ArapAhmet mosque, and Bedesten are some of the most considerable places to visit. Bellapais Abbey which was once the home of Lawrence Durrell is arguably one of the most impressive sites in the Mediterranean and indisputably one of the most majestic sites of the island. It is the most impressive Gothic monument in North Cyprus.
For windsurfing, water skiing, mono-skiing, banana riding, kneeboarding, canoeing, wakeboarding, powerboating and jet-skiing the shores and beaches of Northern Cyprus are the place to be!
