Cyprus is floating on the waters of the European Mediterranean, but pointing longingly towards the shores of Syria, Turkey and Lebanon.It is a kaleidoscopic blend: its cultural influences are dominated by Western Europe, but its geographic proximity to Asia and Africa gives it more than just a hint of the East. Long coveted by mainland Greece and Turkey, this small island has its own definite and beguiling character.
