At present none but if you ask the question in 1570 then the answer would be mainly The Ottoman Empire ( Turkey). The three main Venetian strongholds were Nicosia, Kyrenia and Famagusta. The Turks landed 1July 1570 and captured Nicosia on 9 Sept 1570 - Kyrenia surrendered without a fight within days leaving Famagusta to fight on alone. Despite two major Christian Armadas in 1570 and 1571 setting out to its relief they never arrived and Famagusta was finally subdued on ! Aug 1571, surrendering on honourable terms which were broken by the Turkish Pasha ( Lala Mustapha) who had many of the garrison executed.
