Are there wolves in Cyprus?

No, there are no wolves in Cyprus. I believe there used to be in the past.

Flight time to Cyprus?

Depends where you are in the world!! Cyprus is two hours ahead of UK time, so for example, 8pm in London would be 10pm in Nicosia, and so on.

If you know the time in the UK relative to where you are, then just add two hours on to that to know what the time is in Cyprus from wher you are.

Where in Europe is Cyprus in?

No- it is not regarded as a legitimate state by any nation other than Turkey itself (which created it in the first place) and is thus not admitted to the EU. However, the Euro is accepted there as currency.

Who rules Cyprus today?

Before we go forward, keep in mind that this is a very thorny issue-nations have gone to war over this. I don't have any particular feelings on the issue, so I'll try and stay as neutral as possible.

The island of Crete has two major ethnic and cultural groupings: Greek Cypriots, and Turkish Cypriots. The two groups have experienced tensions and inter-communal violence, and Greece and Turkey have become involved in ways that have nearly brought the two countries (on paper, allies as members of NATO) to open warfare several times. At present, five entities control or have claims to parts of the island: Turkey, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the Republic of Cyprus, the British Royal Air Force, and the United Nations.

Turkish troops invaded the island in 1974, in response to a planned pro-Greek coup in the Cyprus government, and Turkey has since maintained a large number of troops in the northern third of the island, governed by the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus", a government only recognized by Turkey. Most other states consider this an occupation of Cyprus' territory.

The southern portion of the island is controlled by the Republic of Cyprus, which is mostly Greek Cypriot, and recognized by most other countries as the official rulers of the island.

Separating the two Cypruses is a United Nations-controlled buffer zone called the Green Line, a demilitarized zone intended to keep the combatants separated. The line divides Nicosia, the largest city on the island, and claimed as the capital of both Republics.

The United Kingdom also controls two areas in the southwest portion of the island, Akrotiri and Dhekelia. These areas were leased to the British as Royal Air Force bases after decolonization. (Cyprus was a British colony until 1960.)

What are the countries that border Cyprus?

Cyprus is an island and therefore doesn't directly contact another country; it's bordering territories are Greece to the east, Lebanon, Syria, and Israel to the west, Turkey to the south and Egypt to the north.

How many regions are in Cyprus?

The Republic of Cyprus is one country.
In 1974 it was invaded by Turkey after an attempted coup by the Greek Cypriots. They occupied, and still control, the northern part of the island, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Cyprus though this is only recognised by Turkey itself.
Small areas are, by treaty, given over the the UK for use as military bases.

What is the name of the rivers that run through Cyprus?

There are no major rivers in Cyprus any longer- it has never had more than one or two anyway, as it is effectively in the Middle East which is too hot to allow rivers to form.

It's one main river USED to be the Pedolos, which ran through the capital city of Nicosia- however, this has long since dried up due largely to the construction of dams to provide reservoirs. Although Cypriots still refer to it as 'the river', for most of the time it's just a dried-up stony bed, supporting only the occasional small stream if there has been an exceptionally rainy period.

Which countries are in the Schengen Area?

A Schengen Visa is a visa which allows the holder to visit any country which is part of the Schengen Agreement. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are the present Schengen countries (as of May 2009). Liechtenstein is expected to fully sign-up later this year. Also there are no border controls between San Marino, Vatican City and Italy or between Monaco and France. Separate visas are still needed for visits to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and other European countries. Schengen countries are those where border controls have been abolished so there are no longer any passport checks on borders and it's often difficult to know if you've actually crossed a border. Note that there are still customs checks between Schengen countries where one is an EU member (for example, Sweden) and the other is not part of the EU (for example, Norway). All Schengen countries require people to carry some form of ID with them (whether they are a visitor or a national or resident of that country). To apply for a Schengen visa you should apply to the embassy of the first country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit Italy, France and Spain (in that order) then you only need to apply to the Italian embassy and your visa is good for France and Spain too. European Union and EEA citizens don't need any visas to travel within the EU or Schengen countries. Croatians don't need any kind of visa for travel in Italy, Slovenia or Hungary but do need a visa if they intend to go elsewhere in the EU. Americans and Canadians may need a visa for some EU countries.

Is there an upper age limit for car hire in Cyprus?

No, but if you are over the age of 70 some car hire firms (although NOT all) will make a surcharge of an extra thousand Euros to cover insurance for older drivers.

These tend to be the big multinational hire firms such as Avis and Hertz- Cyprus's own hire firms, such as the Petsas hire company, don't do this, so it pays to try and rent from a local firm if possible.

How much tobacco can be brought into the UK from Cyprus?

Will Cyprus join the Schengen Area?

According to the EU-Cyprus Accession Treaty, Cyprus is required to eventually join the Schengen Area. However, the current "border arrangement" that Cyprus has with the illegitimate Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a serious stumbling block to implementing the border security requirements necessary for Schengen. As a result, the earliest that Cyprus may be able to join Schengen will be in 2016, but likely will not happen for many more years.

How many mountains are in Cyprus?

There are two major mountain ranges in Cyprus, the Troodos range in the South and the Penedactylos in the North.

The Troodos are very beautiful, being thickly forested with both evergreen and deciduous trees and dotted with villages and small towns, which offer some superb hotels and restaurants. The Penedactylos range is in the Northern sector of the island, controlled by the Turks- these are much more sheer-sided and craggy, with little vegetation other than scrubby bushes and the occasional olive grove. However, a main road leads across them to the Northern coastal town of Kyrenia.

WHERE IN Cyprus do you fly to?

to Larnaca - biggest airport in Cyprus (still quite small) recently built - my recommendation

to Paphos (small airport and slightly inconvenient)

or to the airport in the north, but because there are lots of issues between the north and the south, most everyone flies to the south, unless of course, you are coming from turkey.
