  • Monastery of Kykkos
    Monastery of Kykkos 1 The monastery of the Virgin of Kykkos is located at an altitude of approximately 1,200 meters, about one kilometer from mountain Kykkos, a 1,318 m high peak in the western part of the Troodos range. That peak is also known by the name Throni or Throni of Panagia. The monastery is the most famous and rich among the active Cypriot monasteries of our time. It is also one of the most important in terms of history as well as national and social work. The Holy Monastery of Panagia of Kykkos was founded around the end of the 11th century by Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, and since then has housed the icon of the Virgin reputedly painted by Apostle Luke. According to the tradition concerning the establishment of the Monastery, a virtuous hermit called Esaias used to live in a cave on the mountain of Kykkos. One day, Manuel Boutomites, the Byzantine governor of the island, who was spending his summer holidays at a village in the Marathasa valley went hunting and was lost in the forest. He came upon the hermit and asked him how he could go back. Esaias wished to avoid all things of this world and so did not reply. His attitude angered Boutomites, who resorted to verbal and even physical abuse. Shortly afterwards, Boutomites was taken ill with an incurable disease. This led him to recall his inhuman behaviour towards Esaias and asked God to make him well so that he could go to the hermit and ask him for his forgiveness.

  • CYPRUS Cyprus in Your Heart
    CYPRUS Cyprus in your Heart Life is the Journey That You Make It It is often said that life is not only what you are given, but what you make of it. In the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus, its warm inhabitants have truly taken the motto to heart. Whether it’s an elderly man who basks under the shade of a leafy lemon tree passionately playing a game of backgammon with his best friend in the village square, or a mother who busies herself making a range of homemade delicacies for the entire family to enjoy, passion and lust for life are experienced at every turn. And when glimpsing around a hidden corner, you can always expect the unexpected. Colourful orange groves surround stunning ancient ruins, rugged cliffs embrace idyllic calm turquoise waters, and shady pine covered mountains are brought to life with clusters of stone built villages begging to be explored. Amidst the wide diversity of cultural and natural heritage is a burgeoning cosmopolitan life boasting towns where glamorous restaurants sit side by side trendy boutiques, as winding old streets dotted with quaint taverns give way to contemporary galleries or artistic cafes. Sit down to take in all the splendour and you’ll be made to feel right at home as the locals warmly entice you to join their world where every visitor is made to feel like one of their own. 2 Beachside Splendour Meets Countryside Bliss Lovers of the Mediterranean often flock to the island of Aphrodite to catch their breath in a place where time stands still amidst the beauty of nature.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • Cyprus Ministry of Communication & Works
    Report of the ThinkBike workshop in Nicosia and Larnaca, Cyprus, 16 - 19 December 2013 Sponsored by: Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Nicosia Cyprus Ministry of Communication & Works City of Nicosia City of Larnaca In co-operation with Dutch Cycling Embassy Think Bike workshop 1 Introduction The Dutch Cycling Embassy was commissioned by the Embassy of the Royal Kingdom of the Netherlands in Nicosia to conduct a combined ThinkBike workshop in the cities of Nicosia and Larnaca on Cyprus from 16 to 19 December 2013. The idea of a ThinkBike workshop is that Dutch experts will discuss a local cycling-related problem with two teams of local experts and other stakeholders of cycling. The confrontation of local and Dutch approaches of the local problems at hand will generate new perceptions and potential solutions that haven't been seriously considered before. The programme typically includes a presentation about the cycling culture and related cycling-inclusive policy development in the Netherlands, an explanation of the local (in this case Cypriot) cycling policies and two parallel work sessions to discuss one local problem in each team. ThinkBike workshops are then concluded with a presentation of the generated proposals for the solution of the local problems to a wider audience. The workshop in Nicosia and Larnaca was special in so far as there was an overlap between the participants of the workshop in both cities. This is due to the fact that in Cyprus the planning and implementation of a Cycling Network, as well as legislation and ruling matters concerning cycling are set by government sectors and responsible Ministries, following the views of Local Authorities.

Bugün adada yaşayan iki büyük topluluk Rumlar ve Türklerdir. Bunun yanında küçük gruplar halinde Ermeniler, Marunîler, Latin Katolikler, Anglikanlar, Yahudiler ve yeni dini oluşumlardan Yahova Şahitleri, Bahailer ve Protestanlar yaşamaktadır. Çalışma Osmanlı Devleti’nin adada nasıl bir ortam bulduğunu göstermek adına 1571 yılından önceki durumu, Osmanlı’nın adayı fethi ve sonrasını, 1878-1960 yılları arasında adayı yönetmiş olan İngiliz idaresi dönemini ve 1960’dan günümüze dini durumu ortaya koymayı amaçlamıştır. Bugün ada nüfusunun çoğunluğunu oluşturan Ortodoks Rum halkı, Osmanlı Devleti’nin adayı fethi ile yaşama şansı bulmuş, ellerinden alınan kilise ve manastırları Osmanlı Devleti sayesinde kendilerine iade edilmiştir. Osmanlı tebaası olan Müslüman Türkler, 1878 İngiliz idaresi sonrası Rumların kendilerine saldırmaları sebebiyle doğal bir refleksle savunma pozisyonuna geçmişler, Osmanlı Devleti’nin yıkılmış ve hilafetin kaldırılmış olması sebebiyle lidersiz kalmışlar, kendi aralarında örgütlenerek ulusal topluma geçiş sürecini yaşamışlardır. Bu süreçte Kıbrıs İslamları tanımlaması yerini Kıbrıs Türkleri tanımlamasına bırakmıştır.
