Cyprus - more information

Cyprus is a European Union country located in the eastern Mediterranean, with capital Nicosia. The main cities include Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta, important for both tourism and economic activities.

Among the best known symbols of the island are the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos (UNESCO) and the historic centre of Nicosia. A curiosity: according to mythology, Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love, making it a destination rich in history and culture.

Cypriot cuisine is influenced by Greek and Middle Eastern traditions, with dishes such as halloumi e meze, while drinks include local wines such as the Commandaria, one of the oldest wines in the world.

🇮🇹 Links with Italy and Italians

Relations between Italy and Cyprus are well-established both in terms of trade and tourism. Italy exports to Cyprus food, furniture, fashion and building materials, while many Italian companies operate in the tourism and service sectors.

Tourism also plays an important role: Cyprus is a popular destination for Italians, and a small Italian community lives and works mainly in coastal towns such as Limassol and Larnaca.

Thanks to its strategic location in the Mediterranean and European connections, shipping to Cyprus from Italy is simple and reliable, for both personal and business needs.
