There are many festivals in Cyprus during the calender year celebrating life in Cyprus, these festivals should not be missed when you are on vacation in Cyprus. The Cypriot people take their family, friends and festivals seriously and love to entertain guests to the Mediterranean island of Aphrodite.
Cyprus is divided into six districts (Greek: επαρχίες eparchies; Turkish: kaza), whose capitals share the same name. The districts are further divided up into municipalities.

It measures 240 kilometres (149 mi) long from end to end and 100 kilometres (62 mi) wide at its widest point, with Turkey 75 kilometres (47 mi) to the north. It lies between latitudes 34° and 36° N, and longitudes 32° and 35° E.
