What gorgeous pictures! Few fun facts about Cyprus from someone with a background in geopolitics and history:
The earliest mention of Cyprus is by Herodotus in the 5th century BC.
Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 due to an ongoing land dispute leading to a political split on the island. Reunification talks are still ongoing.
Cyprus was experimented upon by the EU and IMF during its 2012-13 financial crisis in which depositors found their accounts holdings diminished due to a national "bail-in", or recapitalization of its national banks.
Cyprus is a super cool place with a very diverse and engaging history. Cheers!
