What kind of government does Cyprus have?
Cyprus is a divided island with the northern portion under Turkish control. This is called "The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" but is only recognized as legitimate by Turkey itself. The southern portion is an independent republic called the Republic of Cyprus. The Republic of Cyprus is becoming a part of the European Union, though this will not apply to the northern portion of the island under Turkish control.
Isn't Cyprus part of Greece?
Cyprus has extensive cultural ties with Greece, but is not under Greek control. It was a British colony from 1925 until 1960. Prior to that, it was under British administrative control from 1878 and under Ottoman Empire control for most of the preceding four hundred years.
Cyprus, the land of beauty and Love
Cyprus is proudly reclaiming its ancient honor of being the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, and even is offering a tasteful re-creation of her ancient rites. The supreme goddess of love and beauty knew what she was doing when she chose the lovely Cyprus as the site of her emergence from the seafoam.
This island offers particularly deluxe accommodations, and while they aren't cheap, they offer a good value.
