<strong>Cyprus</strong> 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 mainland Greece lies 800km to the north-west.<br />
With 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 />
