  2. Kicsit többet Ciprusról… • 2009. április 23-án két vendégünk ( Elena Savvidis és Thanos Savvidis) érkezett a ciprusi partneriskolából (Kissonerga Primary School), hogy Ciprus történelmével, kultúrájával ismertessen meg bennünket. • Közel 100 diákunk gyűlt össze a tornateremben és hallgatta meg az előadást, majd perdült táncra, s próbálta ki a ciprusi népi játékot.

  4. The Republic of Cyprus is a European island nation in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea . It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea

  5. History of the island The history of the island can be traced back over 10,000 years. *The Athenians,* the Persians, *the Egyptians,* Alexander the Great ,*the Romans *Eastern Byzantine Empire, *Arab invasions *Richard of England, *Venice

  6. Demographics • island's population: Greeks 77%, Turks 18%, 5% other ethnicity. • After 1974, about 150.000 Turks from Anatolia settle in the north. Moreover, about 30.000 Greeks from the Former Soviet Union, in particular Georgia, moved to south Cyprus • The major part of Greek Cypriots, belong to the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Cyprus (Cypriot Orthodox Church), whereas most Turkish Cypriots are Sunni Muslims. There are also small Roman Catholic, Maronite and Armenian Apostolic communities in Cyprus. • Greek is the predominant language in the south, Turkish is spoken in the north and by some Greek Cypriots, too. English is widely understood, and is taught in schools from the primary age.

  7. CYPRUS WEATHER • Cyprus has a Mediterranean climate, with intensely hot summers and short winters.  In the spring, from March to mid-May, it is often warm and sunny in the day and a little chilly at night.  The countryside is full of birds and wild flowers, making it an excellent time of year for walkers, botanists and bird-watchers. • Towards the end of May, the temperature starts to rise, and reaches a peak in July and August.  • September and October are two of the most popular months, because although the land is parched and dry, the intense heat has gone and the sea is still warm.  Towards the end of October, the weather usually starts to change. • December, January and February see the most rain.  Very occasionally there is even snow on the hills, but this rarely settles for long. Even so, there are often days of bright sunshine, and winter can be a good time to visit historical sites,  walk in the hills or paint wild flowers. The table below gives a general idea of the weather in Cyprus.
