Sunny Cyprus is a favorite vacation spot of Russian tourists. The country is unique and has a lot of advantages. Among them — economically advantageous territorial location, mild climate, low crime and much more.

Modern historians have not yet established why the island was called Cyprus. There are several hypotheses. Some scientists believe that the name comes from the Latin word “cuprum”, that is, “copper.” In ancient times, large deposits of this metal were really developed here. Others have researched the opinion that the name is inextricably linked with cypress, which grows throughout Cyprus and is considered sacred.

For a long time, Cyprus was a British colony. Only in 1960, an act of independence and sovereignty was signed, a republic was formed, which was governed on an equal footing by two ethnic groups — the Turks and the Greeks. Fourteen years later, as a result of a military coup, Turkish troops invaded the country. As a result, Turkey annexed a third of the island. The conditional border divides the north and south of the country. During the armed conflict, many Greeks living in the north lost all their property and were forcibly deported to the south. The annexed territory has not yet been recognized by any state other than Turkey itself. The complex geopolitical situation is an insurmountable obstacle to the accession of the state to the European Union.

Cyprus has something to surprise even the most fastidious traveler. More than 45 Cypriot beaches are officially recognized as one of the safest and cleanest in the world and are the owners of the Blue Flag. All beach areas are public, anyone can use them. There are simply no private beaches on the island, and this is a big plus in Cyprus.

In addition to the hot climate, which attracts lovers to sunbathe on the white sand and soak in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the island is happy to accept fans of alpine skiing.

The island has Mount Olympus, where a modern ski resort is built. There are excellent conditions for skiing or snowboarding. Some Cypriots believe that it is this, and certainly not the Greek Olympus, is the real abode of the ancient gods.

In general, this state, which has an extremely dramatic and fascinating history, still harbors many mysteries and secrets. Many people from all over the world are showing an increased interest in the island, not only for vacation but also for permanent residence.

Today, acquiring Cyprus citizenship is a very effective investment. It allows you to enjoy all the advantages of living and recreation on the island, as well as profitable to invest capital. Citizenship of Cyprus for investment will allow to look at the world in a new way — without formalities and conventions.
