ABOUT CYPRUS

Cyprus is an island  situated  in  the  notheast  corner  of  the
Mediterranean  Sea at the crossroads of three continents, Europe,
Asia and Africa.  Its geographically  significant  position  both
for  trade and military purposes has been one of the main reasons
for Cyprus' turbulent history.  The passing from  the  island  of
different  conquerors  has  helped  to blend the character of the
Cypriot.  Here the visitor  may  enjoy  magnificent  pottery  and
sculpture,   ancient   ruins   all  over  the  island,  Byzantine
monasteries  and  churches  and  Medieval  monuments   of   great
architectural value.  The people of Cyprus are traditionally warm
and welcoming.  Their language is Greek but English is spoken  in
all  shops,  restaurants,  hotels,  banks and government offices.
Life on the island is leisurely and safe.  Greek food  should  be
tried.   Greek  Meze,  consisting  of  as  many as thirty dishes,
starting with salads, dips,  tasty  local  dishes  and  kebab  is
something the visitor should not miss.
