Nicosia, Cyprus WEATHER

Cyprus is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean Sea characterized by rugged mountain ranges, central plains, and long coastlines with a warm Mediterranean climate.

📍 Cyprus is an island country located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It lies south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon, northwest of Israel, and north of Egypt.
As an island nation, Cyprus has no land borders and is surrounded entirely by the Mediterranean Sea. Its terrain features a central plain flanked by mountain ranges—the Troodos Mountains in the southwest and the Kyrenia Mountains in the north. The island’s location has historically made it a strategic point for trade, cultural exchange, and military activity between Europe and the Middle East.
