According to itypeusa, Cyprus is an island nation located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Turkey to the north, Syria and Lebanon to the east, Israel to the south, and Greece to the west. The capital of Cyprus is Nicosia and its official languages are Greek and Turkish. The currency used in Cyprus is the Euro (EUR). Cyprus has a long history with strong influences from both Greek and Ottoman Empires. It also has strong ties with other European countries due to its membership in the European Union. There are a range of festivals and celebrations that take place throughout the year such as Cypriot Carnival which takes place in Limassol or Panagia Festival which celebrates Assumption Day. The economy of Cyprus relies heavily on tourism with visitors coming from all over the world to experience its vibrant cities, beautiful beaches or its many historical sites such as Kourion archaeological site or Kolossi Castle. Other industries include agriculture (olives), manufacturing (pharmaceuticals) and banking (offshore banking). Cyprus offers visitors a range of activities from exploring national parks such as Akamas National Park or Troodos National Forest which are home to some of Europe’s most diverse wildlife including eagles, wild goats or deer; or discovering stunning landscapes such as Troodos mountains near Limassol or Kyrenia mountain range near Nicosia – both offering spectacular views over surrounding sea below. There are also numerous water sports available such as kayaking in Limni Lake or diving in Zenobia wreck; while adventure seekers can explore caves at Chirokitia Neolithic Village or go mountain biking at Paphos Forest National Park. Cyprus is located in the Eastern European Time Zone (EET) and observes the same time as much of Eastern Europe. During Daylight Saving Time (DST), clocks are moved forward one hour to UTC+3. DST begins on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October each year. In addition to observing Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of Eastern Europe, Cyprus also observes certain holidays with special times or exceptions to its standard time zone. For example, on Easter Sunday all clocks are moved back by one hour for an additional hour of daylight savings time. On Independence Day (the day celebrating Cyprus’ independence from Britain) all clocks are moved forward by two hours so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night; this is known as “Cyprus Miracle” or “Little Cyprus” in some parts of the country. The EET also shares its time zone with other countries such as Greece and Israel. This means that people living in these countries will experience the same time as those living in Cyprus during DST, but may observe different holidays with different times or exceptions to their standard time zone. Overall, Cyprus follows the Eastern European Time Zone and observes Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of Eastern Europe. It also has certain holidays where clocks are moved forward or backward for an additional hour so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night.
