The capital of Cyprus, in the middle of the island, is cut in two, which divides the country into its Greek and Turkish Cypriot regions.
Cyprus has always been an island, and many Cypriot species, particularly plants, are found nowhere else in the world.
Cypriots are very proud of their cultural heritage, which stretches back more than 9000 years. Relics from every era - Greek temples, Roman mosaics and 15th-century frescoes - scatter the island.
The Cypriot climate is typically Mediterranean, with very hot summers, which often results in drought and water rations. Most of the year is dry, with unpredictable rains falling in the winter months.
