Religion: 78% of Cypriots are Greek Orthodox; 18% are Muslim; Maronite, Armenian Apostolic and Christian together make up the remaining 4%.

Cultural heritage: Cypriots are very proud of their cultural heritage, which stretches back more than 9,000 years. Relics from every era can be seen, from Greek temples and Roman mosaics to 15th-century frescoes. Many villages specialisein a particular art form and as you travel around Cyprus, you will come across pottery, silver and copperware, basket weaving, tapestry and Lefkara’sfamous lacework. Crusader castles rub shoulders with ancient vineyards, frescoed monasteries overlook citrus orchards, and sandy, sun-soaked feet tread Roman mosaic floors.
