Cool facts about Cyprus
Posted on Sep 08, 2025 / Travel
- Cyprus is considered the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love — the rock at Petra tou Romiou is a famous photo spot.
- The island is split: the Republic of Cyprus controls the south and the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus controls the north, creating a unique political and cultural mix.
- Halloumi cheese, originally from Cyprus, is now popular worldwide and traditionally made from a mix of sheep and goat milk.
- Cyprus has some of Europe’s oldest vineyards and a winemaking history stretching thousands of years, with local wines like Commandaria dating back to medieval times.
- The Troodos Mountains get real snow in winter and are popular for hiking and nature trips in summer, so the island offers both beaches and snowy peaks.
