Cyprus is located in the Eastern Mediterranean and is the third largest island after Sicily and Sardinia. Cyprus is the birthplace of the mythical Aphrodite, the goddess of love and due to its geographical location is the stepping stone between the three continents of Africa, Asia and Europe.
Sun-soaked stretched beaches and turquoise waters are part and parcel of this island that is steeped in history and culture. Cyprus is the jewel of the Mediterranean and has been invaded on numerous occasions, which left various cultural marks on the beautiful island and contributed to its diverse and unique culture.
In 2004 Cyprus joined the European Union and in 2008 it adopted the euro as its official currency. Cyprus is renowned for its natural beauty, modern infrastructure, the quality of life and services it provides. The beautiful island is legendary for the hospitality of its people and the extremely high educational level of the Cypriots.
