Cyprus, tucked away in the eastern corner of the Mediterranean, is so close to Europe, Asia and Africa that it rightly claims to be a stepping stone to all three continents. The island has a rich, dramatic history of nine thousand years. It was claimed by Ancient Greek, Egyptians and Romans along with Crusaders, Byzantines and Franks, all of whom have left a powerful legacy for the modern visitor to see and admire.

Landscape
The landscape, blessed with natural beauty, is one of infinite variety. Cool, virgin mountains are in contrast to golden, sunny beaches. Tranquil, traditional villages are in striking contrast to modern cosmopolitan cities. The environment of Cyprus is one of the healthiest in the world, free from any kind of pollution.

Economy
The island has many more advantages. Crime is almost non-existent and Cyprus’ economy is booming. Over the past few years Cyprus has emerged as one of the region’s leading business and financial centers. Various sectors of the economy
like tourism, banking, insurance and telecommunications enjoy very high standards as a result of being at the leading edge of technology. Climate
Cyprus enjoys a wonderful Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers from mid-May to mid-October and mild winters from November to February. The mean temperature during the summer is 35 C (96 F) and during winter 8 C (42 F). Due to the marvelous climate and variety of scenery, the island offers endless opportunities for nature lovers and outdoor sports fans. Angling, mountain-biking, hiking, golf and sea sports are but a few of the activities that visitors can enjoy.

All these form an ideal environment for learning, cultural diversity and peace of mind. Cyprus’ qualities provide a firm foundation for the American College’s educational experience which is further enriched by the unrivalled strengths of Nicosia.

The Cosmopolitan City of Nicosia
It is our belief that there is more to being a student than studying. Higher education is about developing your whole personality and participating in a wide range of activities beyond the classroom, library or laboratory.

Above all, being a student means experiencing all aspects of life and having fun – and Nicosia is a city made for fun. There will always be plenty of interesting things to do and see. Within a short time you will discover that you will have the whole of the capital city as your campus.

With a population of over 280,000, Nicosia is the commercial, educational and cultural capital of Cyprus. It is a city full of contrast and interest. It has the spirit of a cosmopolitan city, being large enough to offer a range of social and sports activities, yet small enough to be manageable, accessible and easy-going.

Well...it equally simple if you want to visit as touristl or as a student..first of all, you need an invitation from a relative,friend over there..the cost varies..flight ticket can be as high as 200k+ cos its summer..on visa issue if u av the correct documentation,u r free to go..

If you go to cyprus without visiting paphos city then your jorney is not complete..a small tourist city, rich in culture and world heritage site..in this city, you will see the grave of lazarus,the lazarus church..animal park.water park..its really a place to visit..

Have you traveled outside Nigeria before?NO NO Never and if you have kindly post your pics abroad here. Have you had any visa before even from Benin republic? NO NO and if yes post it here. Stop writing rubbish and confusing people. Stop passing around wrong information that may affect people's life forever negatively. You have not been to Cyprus before so why posting about country you have not been? Travel Section of Nairaland needs REAL and HONEST INFORMATION from people living in the country not random entity like you. Pls stop mis-informing people just to give out your email or sought attention from people.
