Cyprus is well known for the warm hospitality of its people, which
is felt by all who visit the island. Cypriots welcome visitors with
open arms and often insist on welcoming you into their homes. Never
visit a Cypriot on a full stomach as you can be sure they will find
great pleasure in feeding you! Family is a very important aspect
of Cypriot life and children are loved and welcomed wherever you
go.
The official language is Greek but is spoken with a Cypriot dialect.
English is the second language, is widely spoken by around 90% of
the population and is taught in all of the schools.
The Geek Orthodox Church of Cyprus is the predominant church on
the island. The presence of the church is significant in the historical,
cultural and social life of Cyprus and as a member of the community
you are sure to be invited to many traditional Cypriot christenings
and weddings! There are many beautiful Orthodox Churches and Monuments
scattered over the island, which are well worth visiting.

an island of its size. Private sector initiative has provided rapid
growth in areas such as tourism, entertainment, land development
and construction. The Cypriot people are a close knit and hard working
nation, whose astute business sense has raised the island up to
European standards.

reassuring environment for everyone… yet another reason to
