| | World Travel Tips - Europe - Cyprus |
 | | Summary: Cyprus is in the Middle East, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey, and is a central plain with mountains to the north and south, and scattered but significant plains along southern coast, with a UN controlled buffer zone between northern and southern halves. |
 | | The Greek Cypriot economy is prosperous but highly susceptible to external shocks such as swings in tourist arrivals, and remains based on agriculture and Turkish-funded economic development. |
 | | In addition to the grapes, the Folk Art Museum, where you can shop for local handicrafts, and the Cyprus Medieval Museum, housed in the 14th century Limassol Castle, are places to keep you busy, other than the beaches and the nearby Troodos Mountains. |
