Very huge history in cyprus. Its much nearer the start if middle east than most people imagine. A stones throw from Syria. As there are British sovereign bases / army and raf personnel you feel safe enough.
Its the only occupied country left in the world i think, separated by the green buffer line that the UN patrol. Ive never been to the turkish part only the south.
The food is good, just my kind of thing.
Cant say im overly keen on the local wines, we usually buy chilean wine, much the same as we do here.
Oh you just put me in the mood to go back.
