With its strange shape evoking a guitar or a swordfish, Cyprus is an invitation to daydream and travel. At the same time, dominated by the Troodos massif and bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean, it is also undeniably an island whose contours are difficult to define. On a daily basis, it lives with two currencies, two languages and a dividing line to cross! Geographically and culturally very oriental, the Republic of Cyprus is nevertheless firmly anchored to the Old Continent. Cyprus remains the island of umbrellas and paradoxes. The tourist will benefit from two destinations for the price of one, both easy to navigate. Divided since 1963 and partially occupied by Turkey since 1974, its history is obviously complex. For 11,000 years, the island's strategic position and natural resources have attracted many conquerors who have each left their mark and forged their own identity.
