Cyprus is situated in the southeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea, close to Turkey, Israel and Egypt. It enjoys year round sunshine with an average summer maximum temperature of around 30ºC and an average winter minimum rarely falling below 15ºC. Due to their height, the Troodos mountains are snow covered in winter but snow is almost unheard of around the coast. Because of its location, Cyprus has always been a strategically and economically important place and as such has much to offer in the way of history and religion. Tourism is now an important part of the Cypriot economy and the local people always have a warm welcome for visitors. However, there is plenty of unspoilt countryside and local village life continues at a slow pace outside the main coastal towns. Cyprus produces excellent wines from both vineyards and monasteries. The supposed birthplace of Aphrodite, Cyprus remains the Island of Love. Paphos, once the capital of Cyprus, is now a relaxing seaside resort .
