About Cyprus

• The country enjoys 340 days of sunshine.
• Cyprus is the third-largest island in the Mediterranean and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, attracting over 2.4 million tourists per year.
• Cyprus is known as 'the playground of the gods’ and for good reason too! Aphrodite is said to have risen out of the water near Paphos.
