Cyprus is an island with a historical past.
The island is divided into the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
In addition, the island has a (buffer) zone between both countries, which is controlled by UNIFIL (UNFICYP) and a part of the extreme middle South around Akrotiri and the South-East around Dhekelia is English territory.
Both areas have the status of Sovereign Base Areas (SBA) of the United Kingdom.
In september 2024 we visited with the IBRG expedition 'Cybex-24 the Isle of Cyprus.
