CYPRUS

Cyprus, Aphrodite's Isle, is strategically located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. It has long been fought over by its many conquerors, from the Phoenicians to the Greeks, the Romans and the Ottoman Turks. Its turbulent history, and the rich and varied cultures of those who have ruled it over the centuries, have left their mark everywhere. The island is a huge archaeological site, in which treasures still lie waiting to be discovered.
