Cyprus: Mediterranean island country in the Middle East
Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

It is east of Greece, north of Egypt, south of Turkey, and west of Lebanon and Syria. Its capital and largest city is Nicosia. The northeast portion of the island is de facto governed by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
