Cyprus is a beautiful jewel of an Island situated
in the Eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, with
a population of around 750,000. Often described as
the "Island of Love and Beauty" it is at
the junction where Europe meets Asia and Africa making
it an economic and cultural centre of the area.
Thousands of tourists come to Cyprus and return year
after year to enjoy the vivid beaches, hidden coves,
fresh sea breezes and stunning retreats of the Troodos
Mountains and forests. The great reputation of the
island for hospitality, kindness and generosity to
visitors is extended as a warm welcome to those wishing
to settle on the Island.
The Lure of this great land has attracted many great
historic figures right through the ages to come here,
and Cyprus is thought by many scholars to be the actual
site of the Lost City of Atlantis. The diversity and
social interaction have given the Island its varied
and rich history and culture, which are now part of
the customs and tradition that form the very bedrock
of the Island . The traditional values of family are
everywhere to be seen and at the heart of every community.
Since its accession to the EU, Cyprus has invested
heavily and has developed a quite magnificent Infrastructure.
There are three International Airports, a modern motorway
system, Modern and efficient seaports used for commercial
as well as pleasure craft. From Cyprus you can sail
to Greece , Lebanon , Israel , Egypt and others. It
is planned that by the end of 2008 (when Cyprus adopts
the Euro) there will be 6 new Marinas and six new
golf courses.
The communications system is modern, robust and utilises
the newest techniques available. Broadband is available
throughout most of the Island and other alternatives
such as WiFi and satellite communications are also
available.
This great progression of technology has been well
managed and lives very comfortably beside and with
unspoilt villages, UNESCO heritage sites and Natural
reservations. Cyprus proudly presents its rich culture
and traditions throughout the Island in numerous Local
and national museums as well as archaeological sites
