 Cyprus (Greek Κυπρος, Turkish Kıbrıs,) is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. After Sicily and Sardinia, Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Although the island lies close to the Middle East, it is considered to be a European country and is a member of the European Union.
Visit the many archaeological and antiquities sites, the beautiful coastline of the island - still quite unspoilt in many places, Nicosia - the capital, the Troodos mountains - rising as high as 3,000 metres, and much more. Cyprus is a remarkably safe county, with very little violent crime. Cars and houses frequently go unlocked. That said however, it is wise to be careful when accepting drinks from strangers, especially in Ayia Napa, since there have been numerous occasions of muggings.
