a Glance<br />
CYPRUS at a Glance<br />
Lying at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, <strong>Cyprus</strong><br />
has long served as a major eastern trading post. It is a small<br />
country, but the third largest island in the Mediterranean<br />
Sea and shares a maritime border with Egypt 300km to the<br />
south, Lebanon 108km to the east and Turkey 71km to the<br />
north, while inland Greece lies 800km to the north-west. With<br />
10,000 years of history, the island’s strategic location has<br />
long made it a jewel in the crown of the powers of the day.<br />
Cultural influences have come from all directions, with many<br />
civilisations leaving their mark on the island, contributing to<br />
the development of a rich and diverse cultural heritage.<br />
