Where did Cyprus's travel to?
The Cypriots travel wherever they please. They have airlines, ships, etc. The Cypriots are predominantly of Greek original, with a substantial portion being of Turkish origin, due to the island being conquered and occupied by the Ottoman Empire during its history. Then enter the British, and, when all is said and done with them, you end up with the current situation in Cyprus, and the breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which was in response to the Greeks attempting a military coup of Cyprus in 1974 for the sake of Enosis - the annexation of Cyprus as part of Greece - preempted by attacks on the Turkish Cypriot population by nationalist Greek Cypriots under the direction of then-president Archbishop Makarios. But that's a long story there.
