Cyprus, where East meets West
The island of Cyprus lies in the North East corner of the Mediterranean near Turkey and Syria. Because of its geographical location, it’s been over the centuries a natural crossover point for travellers primarily of Christian and Muslim faith. Visitors to the island will notice how the two cultures sometimes blend by observing the architecture, the folkloric dances and sampling the local cuisine.
During its long history, the island has been governed and administered by many outside powers including the Republic of Venice, Greece, Turkey and Great Britain. Cyprus became independent in 1960; the north part was invaded by Turkey in 1974. Since then it has been divided and the northern part is now the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.
The majority of the population is of Greek descent and living in the southern part, which has prospered greatly since the division and became part of the EU in 2004. A reunification plan was put forward by the United Nations in 2004 but this was rejected by the Southern Cypriot government. The two sides are continuing to talk and progress is being made. It is encouraging to hear that a new proposal for reunifying the island is planned for the near future.
Cyprus has much to offer and it is very popular not just with tourist but also holiday home buyers and people wishing to live there permanently. Cyprus is a great place to visit anytime of the year, new facilities are being added and existing ones improved.

If you are going on holiday check to see if there are any tourist discount cards available in the area.
I run a small membership in Cyprus for tourists. Cyprus is a great place to visit but boy is it expensive! So with a little discount at selected restaurants, car hire and hotels is always welcoming! Look up http://www.MyTouristCard.com to see if we could save you a little money on holiday.
