Cyprus

Cyprus, located in the Mediterranean Sea, has strong cultural ties to both Greece and Turkey. Despite its proximity to Asia, it is more economically linked to Europe. Since 1974, Cyprus has been politically divided, with the Republic of Cyprus controlling the south and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the north. The island's economy heavily relies on tourism, and it imports much of its food and energy. Cyprus experiences hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. The Trudeaus Mountains dominate the south and west, while the Kyranea Mountains run along the northeast. Nicosia, the largest city, is centrally located and politically divided.
