Cyprus wants to be part of Greece because Greeks make up the majority of the population on the island. Cyprus use to be 100% Greek before the ottomans invaded in the 1500s. In 1974 before the Turkish invasion Greeks made up 82% of the population, while today they make up around 78% of the population. Cyprus wants to unite with their motherland which they have desired since Greece became an independent country, just as many other Greek speaking islands have in the past. Unfortunently because the Americans are benefiting by having a military presence on the island due to its strategic location, this has been difficult to achieve for Greeks as the US had orchestrated a plan to divide Cyprus since the 1950s by having the Greek community and the largest minority, the Turkish cypriots, have a hatred for each other. The island has been ethnically divided since 1974 when Turkey illegally invading occupying 37% of the northern half of the island of which 90% belongs to Greek Cypriots.

"The village of Kármi or Karaman in North Cyprus was damaged by the Turkish invasion in Cyprus of 1974. Now it is illegally occupied by Turks like many other Greek vilalges. Turks now illegally sell and rent the occupied land to mainly British tourists. The European court of human right has recently issued an eviction note to Orams, a british couple who illegally bought land in the north, occupied land of Cyprus.

Yes. I have purchased a new-build property from them. Every wall has damp problems with plaster falling off; has flooded during heavy rain; flat roof slopes wrong way and accumulates deep water; roof leaked due to incorrect joining of overlaps; main electrical box burnt out due to water leaks (no replacement installed); downpipes leak into walls; outside window sills not sloped to deflect rain; outside doors not weatherproofed -allows entry of rainwater; after-sales' service totally inadequate. Would I buy from Pafilia again? Not in a million years! Absolute crap builder!

There are two ports in Limassol; the Old Port and New Port. The old port is in the older part of Limassol town and it's a short walk to the beach (around 1 km). The New Port is around 5Km from central Limassol (and the beach) I would expect to pay around €8 taxi fare.

Distance from Cyprus to Crete is equal to 488 miles.

Republic of Cyprus is an independent country, it wasn't ever "controlled" by Greece, you probably mean that it was once a British colony.

Cyprus is most closely bordered by Northern Syria to the East- to the North, it is bordered by Turkey, and to the South by the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula.

It's closest neighbour to the West is Crete, several hundred miles away.
