Cyprus is a small Island with a big history. In fact, the first references pointing to Cyprus date back to 15th Century B.C. Some historians believe, the name Cyprus came to existence from the Greek word for the Mediterranean Cypress Tree. Yet others believe that the name Cyprus is a derivative of the Greek word for Copper. Since Cyprus was a rich source of copper in antiquity: “Aes Cyprium”, which means "Metal of Cyprus".
With only 9,251 Square Kilometer (3,572 Square Miles) and an estimated population of about 1,171,000, Cyprus is indeed a cozy country.
Cyprus’ geopolitical position in the Middle East has made it the crossroad of numerous cultures and people. While the Island was first settled by the Greeks, it, subsequently, was occupied by several empires such as the Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Arabs, Turks, and the British. Even the French and Venetians left their foot print on this beautiful Island.
Although, the Republic of Cyprus is still divided into two main parts: the area under the effective control of the Republic, located in the south and west, which is about 59% of the island's total area. The North is administered by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, covering about 36% of the island. The remaining 5% of the area is under the United Nation control, as a buffer Zone.
Regardless of its tumultuous history, Cyprus has always allured people by droves and it does so today. With an advanced infrastructure, thriving economy (GDP of about $35,000 Per Capita) and high human development index, the Republic of Cyprus has become an important place for Off Shore Banking and those interested in Dual Citizenship. In other words, Cyprus has become the quickest path to the Greater European Union Citizenship.
Nicosia is the Capital and Governmental seat of the Republic of Cyprus. With a population of about 330,000, the greater Metropolitan Nicosia is the most populated place in Cyprus.
While, Nicosia exudes modernity, its human history runs deep. Archeological records tell the tale of numerous
generations of people calling this beautiful city home. In fact, Nicosia has been continuously inhabited for
over 4500 years; and it has been the capital of Cyprus for more than a thousand years.
In addition to being the governmental pulse of Cyprus, Nicosia is also the island's financial capital and its
main international business center. According to reports, Nicosia was rated one of the richest cities in the
world, by purchasing power, in 2015
There are eight universities in Nicosia, including the University of Cyprus (UCY) and the European University of Cyprus (EUC), which gives it a vibrant student community. Nicosia is also the financial and business heart of Cyprus. The city hosts the headquarters of all Cypriot banks, including the Bank of Cyprus.
