Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea with a more population of more than 1.3 million. It’s where the West of Europe meets the East of Asia. Nicosia is its capital.
The island is a popular tourist destination. It’s particularly popular with couples on honeymoons. This is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, after all.
Cyprus gained independence from the UK in 1960. To recognize the contribution of tourism to the economy, the southern towns of Limassol, Larnaca, and Paphos have been redeveloped as resorts. The Cyprus passport allows holders to travel to 175 countries without a visa.
