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.

Tripoints on Cyprus
However the tripoints with TRNC can be discussed, because the Turkish republic of Northern Cyprus, also known as Turkisch Cypriot State, is disputed, so its borders, the map and overview (tnx Barry), give us a look at the 5 tripoints that excists on Cyprus if we count all entity's on the isle as an entity.
During Cybex-24 Eva, Barry, Jesper, Steen and I visited tripoint no. 1 and no. 4. ↓
