Cyprus has a very rich cultural history which dates back to more than 4000 years. It was colonized by the anciant Greeks who originally named it “Alasia”. It received its present name from the Romans. The name Cyprus is the latin translation of Cypress, meaning a “very beautiful place”.
The island being located in the crossroads of 3 continents and that is why it has always been a target of conquer by The Phinicians, the Persians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Venitians, the Francs, the Templar Knights, the Byzantines, and later in history by the Ottomans and the English.
Cyprus finally received its independence in 1960. Since then, it has developed into a modern and thriving economy, meeting the strict requirements to become an EU full member in 2004. EU membership skyrocketed the island’s reputation as an ideal business destination for both EU and none-EU compamnies.
