Flag Cyprus Cyprus (Nicosia - 3571  sq.mi - 771600 hab.)

Greek Orthodox monasteries, Byzantine churches, mountain villages and cedar forests are the island's major assets. Cyprus, the place of origin of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, has a history of conflict between the Greeks and the Turks, having been divided since 1974; the Turks in the northern part, and the Greeks in the south. On this side of the island, Ayia Napa is attractive for its beaches of fine sand and its turquoise water. Larnaca offers a pleasant sea front shaded by palm trees. Small picturesque fishing port, archaeological sites by the sea and small quiet houses ? this is Paphos, the old capital. More modern, Limassol has a vertical and concrete front.
The Turkish north of the island is open to the public at certain times. The opening up of the wall dividing Nicosia on 8 March 2006 has not changed anything politically as the act was not officially recognised.
