New builds in Cyprus
Location and climate
The Republic of Cyprus is an island state in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, a member of the European Union. After the events of 1974, the "green line" (the UN buffer zone in Cyprus) divides the island into two parts: Greek (south part) and Turkish (north part). The authorities of the Republic of Cyprus control more than half of the territory where the ethnic Greek population lives.
There are about 300 to 340 sunny days a year. The Republic of Cyprus has a subtropical Mediterranean climate with a hot summer and mild, humid winter.

Food products are produced, including wine, olive oil, fruit and vegetable preserves. The following industries are developed: the production of chemical products, cement, furniture, agricultural machinery, tobacco, textile, leather and footwear industries; an oil refinery is operating here as well. Water supply is carried out at the expense of desalination stations. Tourism is of particular importance.
