About Cyprus

Despite the numerous conquerors throughout its age-old history, for thousands of years Cyprus has developed and maintained its own civilisation, assimilating cultural elements from the different reigns that succeeded one another, in a land interspersed with monuments of rare value in our world heritage, such as Neolithic settlements, magnificent specimens of ancient Greek art and civilisation, Greco-Roman theatres, Byzantine churches and monasteries with distinct frescoes and portable icons, Latin churches and Crusader towers, Ottoman mosques and prehistoric settlements. Cyprus is known as the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love and beauty which, according to legend, arose from the sea foam, just off the short of Paphos.
The island’s main economic activities are in the sectors of commercial shipping, high standard hospitality and tourism. Following the discovery of hydrocarbons in its Exclusive Economic Zone, Cyprus is attracting global interest, creating new prospects for growth.
