Cyprus is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, in the eastern Mediterranean, with its earliest traces of civilization dating back to 9000 BC.
Today, WorldWay Immigration reveals the 5 little-known prides of Cyprus.
1. The entire city of Paphos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Paphos is often likened to an open history book, cherished by history enthusiasts. The mosaic ruins, the Tombs of the Kings, the Temple of Aphrodite, and other special attractions will always take you on a historical journey back to the past.
The exquisite lace of Lefkara village has been listed as a representative intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. It is said that the famous Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci visited this village to purchase lace for the Milan Cathedral.
2. Cyprus is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world.
Cyprus has a wine history of over 5000 years and can even be called the "land of wine." The sweet and rich Commandaria wine is actually one of the oldest wines in the world and is still being produced today. Currently, there are more than 50 wineries on the island where you can taste the wine once praised as "the gift of the gods."
Every September, during the grape harvest season, Cyprus holds a grand wine festival. Tourists visiting Cyprus at this time can join the locals in the vineyards, enjoying freshly made wine while singing and dancing to celebrate the grape harvest.
3. For the past decade, Cyprus's beaches have been known as the cleanest in Europe.
Cyprus boasts the most stunning coastal scenery in the Mediterranean, with water visibility reaching up to 100 meters and a coastline of 537 kilometers, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. In 2016, 64 local coastlines in Cyprus received "Blue Flag" certification.
4. The famous cheese of Cyprus, Halloumi, can be traced back to the Byzantine period.
Halloumi is a highly sought-after salty cheese, now known worldwide, originally made from a mixture of cow's milk and goat's milk during the Byzantine period.
5. The world's oldest perfume was discovered in Cyprus.
People have always had the impression that the homeland of perfume should be France. However, archaeological discoveries allow the people of Cyprus to proudly claim that the world's oldest perfume originated on their land.
A team of Italian archaeologists discovered the world's oldest perfume in Pyrgos in 2007, dating back over 4000 years. The perfume contained scents of lavender, laurel, rosemary, pine, and coriander, preserved in a translucent small bottle. Archaeologists also found mixing bowls, funnels, and perfume bottles, which were covered by soil after an earthquake around 1850 BC and buried underground.
Seeing all of the above, do you have a new understanding of Cyprus? The rich historical culture and beautiful ecological environment make life on this island vibrant and colorful.
This is also one of the reasons why more and more tourists and investors are heading to Cyprus.
With the gradual growth of the Cypriot economy and the surge in property immigration in Europe, both the transaction volume and property prices in Cyprus are on the rise. The Cyprus Statistical Service recently announced that the property price index in Cyprus rose by 1.2% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2018. Preliminary estimates show that the property price index for the second quarter of 2018 was 103.98 units, an increase of 0.6% compared to the first quarter of 2018.
Meanwhile, the latest Cyprus Property Price Index report (HPI) also shows that housing prices in Cyprus have increased by an average of 1.2% annually.
