Cyprus, the island that copper's named after

I travel to Cyprus, a divided island nation in the north-eastern corner of the Mediterranean, tucked up hard by Turkey and Syria. Cyprus used to supply the ancient Mediterranean world with its copper, and the element is named after the island in English and other languages. I see turtles at the Alagadi Turtle Beach, visit Larnaca and Nicosia and the Paphos Forest in the west, with a monastery linked to founding president Archbishop Makarios, and the resort of Kato Pyrgos.
