Cyprus is officially known as the republic of Cyprus-one of the many island countries located in the Eastern Mediterranean. Located North of Egypt, northwest of Israel, South of Turkey, Cyprus is the third largest and most populated island in the Mediterranean.

Archaeological remains found on the island suggest that human activities date way back to the 10th Millennium BC, including the well preserved Neolithic village of Khirokitia. Cyprus has in the past been occupied by different empires because of its strategic location. These include the Egyptians, Persians, Assyrians, Arab Caliphates,  French and Ottoman Empire.

Sometime in 1974, Cyprus was divided into two main parts: one region under the control of the republic covering 59% landmass and the self declared Turkish republic of Northen Cyprus making up 36% of the land while 4% is under the UN buffer zone.

This country is a major tourist destination with high income and advanced economy.
