The northern part of Cyprus was occupied by Turkey in 1974 and is now the (unrecognised) 'Republic of Northern Cyprus'.

Well if you mean the Republic of Cyprus as a independent country it was 1960.

Cyprus is an island in the large part of the Mediterraneum, whereas Venice is part of Italy at the top part where yes it is built in a lagoon, but still has a mainland part, where the airport and train station are. They are not close at all.

Cyprus is southeast of Venice.

Flights from the UK to Cyprus generally take around 4 - 4 1/2 hours. Remember they are 2 hours ahead of our time.

Cyprus covers an area of 9,251 km2

Cyprus now uses the Euro, which it adopted in 2006. Prior to that, it's currency was the Cyprus Pound and the Cyprus Cent, neither of which are legal tender any longer.

Cyprus citizens are called Cypriots. The term "Cypriot" refers to individuals who are natives or legal residents of Cyprus, an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean. This term is used to identify the people of Cyprus in a national or ethnic context.

There is no monarchy in Cyprus; it is a republic with a president. You may, however, be thinking of Berengaria of Navarre who was married to Richard the Lionheart in Cyprus (the only Queen of England to be married outside of England).

The most famous Queen of Cyprus was Caterina Cornaro, last Venetian ruler of Cyprus. She ruled from 1474 to 1489. The remains of her palace can be seen at Potamia between the cities of Nicosia and Larnaca. Her legacy lives on in Larnaca and Venice being declared twin towns in 2010, and in the Cornaro Institute, an arts centre also based in Larnaca.

The last Queen of Cyprus was, of course, the British monarch Queen Elizabeth II, but she ceased to be the Queen of Cyprus in 1960 when the island gained independence from Britain.

There is a supposition that this question makes explicitly, that the Greeks own Cyprus, and one made implicitly, that the people of any given territory should be more similar to its closest neighbors. Neither assumption is correct.

Greek Cypriots are so called because they embraced the Greek Orthodox Faith and had extensive oceanic commerce with the Greeks during the Ancient Period. It is notable, though, the Cypriot culture is not traditionally considered Danaan (central Ancient Greece) or Achaen (southern Ancient Greece), but is usually seen as being much more similar to Levantine and Mesopotamian culture. As a result, Greek Cypriot, as a term is an abbreviation of Greek Orthodox Cypriot. These people formed the majority of the island's inhabitants because of the way that Orthodox Christianity spread and the way Islam did not on the island. Greek Cypriots maintain political control of the Republic of Cyprus (which is an ally of but not controlled by Greece) because they form the majority of the population (between 75-80% of ethnic Cypriots are Greek Cypriots).

As to the second assumption that countries next to each other should be culturally similar, see Burma and Thailand, Pakistan and Iran, Iran and Iraq, Sudan and South Sudan, etc. Close proximity between countries can indicate similarities, but does not require them.
