Kalimera, I am Christina, and I am coming from Cyprus. As English is a second language in Cyprus, I can pass on my knowledge of the rich and interesting history, mythology, and culture of Cyprus, as well as the way of life and customs of its inhabitants to English-speaking visitors. I love to show and talk about the beauty of our sun-drenched island by the sea and in the mountains.
