Brief introduction of Cyprus

Cyprus, full name: Republic of Cyprus; It is an island country at the junction of Europe and Asia (called "Kitty Island" in the Bible, during the ancient and Assyrian Empire), located in the eastern Mediterranean with an area of 925 1 square kilometer. Its human development index is very high. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. At present, the earliest known footprint of human activities can be traced back to about 1 10,000 BC. At this time, the site is Joy Lukotia, a well-preserved Neolithic complex. Cyprus, located at the crossroads where the Mediterranean Sea enters West Asia, has been occupied by West Taiwan Province, Assyria, Egypt, Persia, Arab caliphate, Umayyad Dynasty, Venice and Ottoman Empire since ancient times. In 333 BC, Alexander the Great took over the island from the Persians. 1878 was managed by Britain until the second year when 1960 gained independence and became a member of the British Association. The legitimate sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus is the whole island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters, except for a small part allocated to Britain as a military base according to the treaty; In fact, it is divided into north and south. The area effectively ruled by the Republic of Cyprus is 63% of the whole island, while the north is occupied by Turkey, which calls itself the Republic of Northern Cyprus. At present, this political entity is only recognized by Turkey. The Republic of Cyprus (Greece) officially became a member of the European Union on May 6th, 2004.

Best season: April-September is the best every year. The seaside beach in Cyprus is a natural swimming and sunbathing resort. The tourist season for local people is July-August, and the price is relatively high, but there are fewer people in April-May and September-10.

Precautions:

Local language

The official languages are English, Turkish and Greek, which are also the most commonly used languages. The vowels in Greek are developed, and the Greeks added vowels. Because the Greek writing tool was a wax board, sometimes the first line was written from right to left, and then from left to right, which became the so-called "boustrophedon" writing method. Later, it gradually evolved into that all writing was written from left to right. In modern Greek, the ancient musical stress has become aspirated stress, and the difference between long vowels and short vowels has disappeared. Even number, wishing tone and past narrative tense have been lost in grammatical structure. Modern Greek has accepted a large number of loanwords from neighboring ethnic groups or ruling ethnic groups, while many ancient Greek words still remain in written language. Due to the development of philosophy, science, logic and mathematics in ancient Greece, a large number of words created by it are still in use today.

currency conversion

Euro notes * * * are divided into seven denominations, namely 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros, with different sizes and colors. There are eight denominations of coins: 1, 2,5, 1 0,20,50,1yuan, 2 yuan. Coins from euro zone 16 countries have the same pattern on one side and different patterns on the other. 1 euro = 100 cents.

Credit card use

Communication/Internet access

Friendly Reminder

The Cypriots invited you to dinner. If there is no special reason, it is best not to refuse. There is a saying on the island that "it is impolite to leave before the coffee is cold". A day trip from south to north is possible, but there is only one exit through the green line. The checkpoint is open from 8: 00 a.m. to 1 3: 00 a.m. (the return inspection ends at 17: 00 a.m.), and you only need to pay the inspection fee of1Cyprus pound to get the entry permit. But there is no car to the checkpoint, so you can only walk or drive by yourself. * The best season to travel to Cyprus is from March to May and from September to 65438+ 10.
