As an independent nation Cyprus has existed for less than a generation. But its history stretches back much further. This sun-kissed Mediterranean isle has come under the control of various rulers including the Romans, Venetians, Genoese and British imperialists, who have all laid claim to this birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love. These days, however, if there's any conquering to be done, it's being done by tourists. Since the 1960s the agreeable Cypriot climate and its stunning landscape have combined to attract thousands of trippers every year.
