Cyprus is an island whose rich, dramatic history can be
traced back over eight thousand years; an island so coveted
over the centuries that it has been invaded and claimed
by a fascinating mixture of civilizations from near and
far, all of which have left their culture and shaped its
character.
An island whose archaeology stems from the Neolithic Age,
the Ancient Greeks and the Roman period; where churches
and monasteries still stand from Byzantine times, castles
and palaces from the days of Crusaders and Frankish Lusignans,
and splendid city walls from Venetian days.
