With more than 300 days of sunshine yearly, Cyprus is a typical Mediterranean island, always blessed with warm temperatures and little rain. It is very easy to get around the island by bus, as the road network is modern and well-developed. Watch out though, in Cyprus you drive on the left-hand side! By the way, Cyprus is one hour ahead of Spain and Denmark since it shares the same time zone as Finland and Greece.
The Cyprus pound was replaced by the euro as the currency of the Republic of Cyprus in 2008. However, the Turkish Lira is the official currency in Northern Cyprus.
The Must-See's of Cyprus
Cyprus has a lot of copper resources, which in history attracted a lot of attention to the island. Moreover, Cyprus has a rich cultural heritage as well. For instance, ancient barn churches (which are even UNESCO World Heritage Sites), mosques, monasteries and cathedrals invite you to experience and understand the culture and history.
The cuisine of Cyprus is also shaped by the influence of both Greeks and Turks. An example of this is ‘meze’, also known as the tapas of Cyprus. You can get this dish served either way hot or cold. Well-known meze dishes include tzatziki, taramosalata, hummus and halloumi.
There is also Turtle Beach in the north of Cyprus where you can witness a very special event! In summer, the turtles lay their eggs there and as soon as the little turtle babies hatch, they migrate towards the sea. This nesting site is very important for endangered sea turtles, particularly the Green and Loggerhead turtles.
