 The excavation of the Paphos archaeological site began in 1962, and the mosaic with the motif of the mythical world is also beautifully preserved.

In 1974, the Cyprus dispute broke out
in the north and south, and 10 years later,
the north side declared independence as the
"Northern Cyprus-Turkish Republic."

Only when the Republic of Cyprus joined
the EU in 2004, north-south transportation
became free, but economic disparities
are widening.

The north relies on Turkey for most of its
imports and exports, and while the focus is
on agriculture, the number of tourists from
the south is increasing, but most of them are day trips.

Cyprus has been dominated by many countries in history from the Romer era to the Venetian Republic era, Due to the invasion from Ottoman Turkey,

the lush forests have become bald mountains and are now in a hurry to plant trees.
The Republic of Cyprus was born in 1960 after the British rule.

It's still less than 50 years.

The flow of the times is on the north-south border.The day will come when the need for UN peacekeeping forces will disappear.

The conflict of distant countries must be known in the history and culture of the world It caused repeated tragedy.

At the "Apollo Temple" 2800 years ago, the appearance of people who loved the town at that time, such as after baths, inns, and stadiums, has been passed down through the ages.
