Cyprus Facts

Cyprus, is the 3rd largest Mediterranean island - covering 9,251 square kilometres, 240 km from west to east and 96 km from north to south - with a population of approximately 700,000. Being at the cross-roads of three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa - it has one of the oldest histories of the world, dating back 9000 years. Its strategic position, its wealth in forests and mineral deposits, as well as its skilled craftsmen, made it the prized possession of the powers of the day. Cultural influences came from all directions - all major regional civilizations left their mark on the island, contributing to the development of a very rich and diverse cultural heritage.

Communications - Cyprus is served by approximately 30 major airlines, linking it to the four corners of the world through its international airports at Larnaca and Paphos. Driving is on the left in Cyprus and distances between towns are relatively short, covered by a good network of modern roads. Cyprus telecommunications are among the best in the world - an important factor in establishing the island as an offshore business centre.
Government - Cyprus is an independent sovereign republic with a presidential system of government. Its fully democratic system retains the respect of individual rights and encourages private initiative.
Cost of Living - The relatively low cost of living in Cyprus has an added appeal for the potential buyer, offering a full, but comparatively inexpensive lifestyle.
Crime Rate - Cyprus enjoys a remarkably low crime rate,1/6 of the European average.
Banking - Banking practice, the range of services offered and the methods of management and control closely follow the British pattern.
Education - There are both junior and secondary schools of a high standard catering for English, French and Italian speaking pupils.
Language - Greek is the mother tongue of the Republic, however English is readily spoken and understood almost everywhere.
Pets - Cats and dogs are permitted to be brought into Cyprus provided a licence has been obtained in advance.

Cyprus Major Cities

Nicosia (around 200,000 population) - Nicosia lies at the centre of Cyprus, no more than one and a half hours from any mountain or coastal resort. As the administrative centre and the seat of Government, the city is dotted with the various ministries and diplomatic missions.
Limassol (around 160,000 population) - Limassol, on the south coast of Cyprus, is the country's second largest city. It lies between the sites of two important historic city kingdoms that dominated the island in antiquity: Amathus to the east and Curium a few miles to the west.
Larnaca (around 70,000 population) - The graceful row of majestic palms lining Larnaca’s seafront are a reminder of the 17th century, when Larnaca was the diplomatic and trading capital of Cyprus.
Paphos / Pafos (around 45,000 population) - The mild, healthy climate and beautiful countryside surrounding this south-western coastal town have attracted visitors to Paphos throughout history. Legend has it that the Goddess Aphrodite was born in its warm, translucent waters.

Language

Whilst Greek is the official language of the republic, English is widely spoken and understood all over the island. A further legacy of the colonial past is the adoption of street and driving directions in Both Greek and English.
