🗺️Cyprus is one of only a few countries with a map of itself on its flag — the orange shape is the actual outline of the island.
🥉The island is coloured copper-orange for a reason: Cyprus was famous in ancient times for its copper, and the word 'copper' even comes from the island's name.
🕊️The two olive branches stand for peace between the island's two main communities, Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
☀️Cyprus sits in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and is one of the sunniest places in Europe, with warm weather nearly all year round.
