Cyprus Holidays - The History
Cyprus has been settled since pre-historic times and virtually every Mediterranean civilisation has left a cultural footprint on the island. Its history reads like a Who's Who of European civilisation: Aphrodite chose Paphos Cyprus as her first port of call after emerging from the sea, St Paul stopped off here on his way to see the Emperor Constantine, Shakespeare's Othello was set in Famagusta Northern Cyprus and Richard the Lionheart chose to marry his fiancé at Limassol Cyprus during the crusades. In fact, Cyprus has such a rich history that you can hardly set your foot down without inadvertently stepping on an ancient monument.  Cyprus was first settled in Neolithic times, but it would be a few more millennia before the island became known as a trading post. Despite the island's prosperity (or perhaps because of it) things got off to a bumpy start with Phoenicians, Egyptians, Assyrians and Persians all fighting over it. By the 4th century B.C. Alexander the Great had taken the island and it was assimilated into his Greek-Egyptian kingdom. As the civilisation declined Cyprus was forgotten about and it was left to the Romans to pick up the pieces. Holidays in Cyprus became a senatorial province and next appeared in the history books with St Paul establishing one of the first Christian ministries on the island.

The 'Green Line' that cuts through the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia divides the country, the last remaining divided capital in Europe.
