What are the differences between Greece and Cyprus?

Question

It could be anything: culture, food, music, traditions... Are there any things that Cypriots do different from the Greeks?

Answer 1

There are no real differences. The accent is slightly different but so is in Crete, Rhodes and other Greek islands. A main difference that has nothing to do with the people is that due to the fact that from 1878-1960 Cyprus was a British colony in Cyprus they drive in the left site of the road as in Britain.

Answer 2

hmm, Cypriots speak the cypriot dialect that is mainly an older form of greek, with some foreign influences. The cypriot cuisine is basically greek, but cypriots have their own food too, like seftalia, halumi and souvla, and also their own wine, commandaria, that is considered to be the world's oldest named wine still in production.

hm, all the greek anniversaries are celebrated in Cyprus too, but some holidays like the Independence day in Cyprus and the turkish invasion anniversary are not celebrated in Greece..

Cypriots listen mainly to english/international music, and music produced in Greece, though Cyprus has many traditional songs of its own..

There aren't any real differences between Greece and Cyprus, besides of course the fact that they are both two different countries.

Greek-Cypriot

Let's start with the difference between Cyprus and Cyprus - south and North! South Cyprus (the Republic of Cyprus) is the Greek Cypriot part of the island, while North Cyprus is Turkish Cypriot. On both sides of the island, you'll find friendly people, beautiful scenery, and fabulous meze meals! Find out more about North Cyprus at the links below.
