Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, with an area of 9,251 km² and a population estimated around 838.897 people. The strategic location of the island has played an important role in establishing Cyprus as a very popular tourist destination and an ideal location for attracting international business.

Cyprus is the sunniest country in Europe with over 340 days of sun annually. It’s not all about sunshine though, high in the country’s central mountain range (Troodos) enough winter snow usually falls to allow the skiing pistes to open.
