Cyprus borders no country

No land borders at all, so none to cross.

Cyprus is one of the countries a border graph cannot help you with — no neighbours to reason from, the map above is the whole hint.

Other island countries in Europe and Asia

Nowhere to cross

No land borders at all.

Cyprus touches no other country, so there is no neighbour to reason from — on the Europe Map Quiz you find it by its own shape (or its dot) or not at all. That is not as lonely as it sounds: 39 of the 195 countries on the world map are in the same position.

Cyprus, asked and answered

What countries border Cyprus?

None. Cyprus shares a land border with no country, so there is none to cross.

What is the capital of Cyprus?

Nicosia. It is the answer the Europe Capitals Quiz wants when Cyprus comes up, and the World Capitals Quiz with it.

What continent is Cyprus in?

Both Europe and Asia — Cyprus sits on two continents, so it appears on both maps. Same country, different neighbours to confuse it with.

Where can I practise finding Cyprus on a map?

On the Europe Map Quiz — a blank map of Europe, ten countries to find, no labels. Cyprus is in the pool, along with every other country on that map.
