Here in our lovely old Cyprus you still see fishing boats coming in with their catch either at sunset or at sunrise. Very often the fishermen are exhausted from no sleep whilst keeping the vigil. I love this island with its ancient craggy mountains and shorelines, its undulating hills and valleys, the generosity of its people even when one doesn’t speak their language! And just in case you still thought that Cyprus is a Greek island – it is not. We are the Republic of Cyprus and I am proud to call myself a citizen.

I hope you will give it a chance to speak to you too.
