Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its location is in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, making it part of the Middle East. However politically, it is a member of the EU and culture-wise is more similar to Greece than its closer Middle Eastern neighbors. The Republic of Cyprus has been an independent country since 1960.
