About Cyprus
Uniquely positioned at the crossroad between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, Cyprus is easily accessible for all people whether coming from Europe or the rest of the world.
Today, Cyprus is a modern country and has been a member of the European Union since 2004. With its European culture and civilisation that stretches back to antiquity, it has much to offer including year-round sunshine, alluring beaches, vineyards, historical sites, and a family-oriented culture of open-hearted people.
