This quintessential Englishness is the result of the British occupation of Cyprus up until the early 60's after which time the island gained it's own sovereignty whilst retaining the British legal system along with a modern infrastructure and many other strong western European influences. When you take your holidays in Cyprus though you will also be struck by the countries own unique culture which has flourished despite all those years of British rule. On the whole Cyprus has most of her roots in a strong Greek culture and the majority of Cypriots are in fact Greek by decent. This mix of cultural influences is undoubtedly the key to the uniqueness of Cyprus and the Cypriot people has a whole.
