Cultural, climatic and economic features of Cyprus

Why is the third largest Mediterranean island so attractive for tourists, travelers and businessmen?

Why is the third largest Mediterranean island so attractive for tourists, travelers and businessmen? The island state of Cyprus, located 70 kilometers from Turkey and 80 kilometers about the island of Greece, was the focus of the policy of various peoples and empires in the distant times of Ancient Rome, Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire. The right to possess the island was honorable due to its favorable location at the intersection of important trade routes. Also, Cyprus was used as a serious stronghold in the war for the right to retain leadership in these parts.

Today Cyprus is an actively developing European state. Since 2004, it has been a member of the European Union, and this alone is already an important reason for many to assess the prospects and opportunities for investment or recreation on the island.

The population of Cyprus is highly educated. According to the latest figures, the literacy rate of Cypriots is 98%. The official languages are Greek and Turkish, but English is also widely spoken here and is used wherever possible. German, French and Russian languages are also common.

Most people associate Cyprus with a resort vacation on the Mediterranean Sea and with the opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient history of ancient and medieval Europe, thanks to the excavations of Paphos. This is all true. A mild climate with hot summers and mild winters, more than 340 sunny days a year, excellent rocky, pebbly and sandy beaches, developed infrastructure for recreation, modern real estate that meets the highest requirements - all this is interesting for both ordinary tourists and serious investors.

The economic component of Cyprus is also very attractive. In addition to the tourism sector, which is seriously supported at the state level, investments in real estate in Cyprus are very interesting, which allow the most serious investors to become citizens of this country in the shortest possible time. The banking sector in Cyprus is actively developing and attracting foreign capital. Cyprus has agreements to avoid double taxation with over 40 countries. Also in Cyprus, sea shipping, sea transportation is actively developed, Cyprus grows a fairly large amount of fruits, and also boasts serious success in viticulture.
