Cyprus

Cyprus is the island of Aphrodite, a crossroads of civilizations. It boasts ancient ruins (Kourion, Paphos mosaics), beautiful beaches (Nissi, Fig Tree Bay), and rugged mountains (Troodos). It's divided into the Greek south and Turkish north (TRNC), offering two distinct cultural experiences on one island.
