Cars for Oranges

Hi friends! Spent a week on Cyprus, an Eurasian island country in the Mediterranean Sea and southeasternmost part of Europe. We went there for the weather (18-22 degrees) and for its rich history and archeological sites. Our home base was near Limassol, in the south of the island.

 

Funny thing is that Cyprus is partitioned into two main parts; the area under the effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, comprising about 59% of the island's area, and the Turkish-controlled area in the north, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and recognised only by Turkey, covering about 36% of the island's area.

 

As Cyprus is a former British colony, they still drive on the left (in the north too!) so the first couple of days it was pretty hard to adapt, but I managed to succeed without accidents :)
