Yes, Cyprus is a large island a few miles off the southern coast of Turkey. Syria and the Middle East are to the east of Cyprus, Egypt is far to the south of Cyprus, across the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Greece is to the west/northwest, and the entire Mediterranean Sea stretches hundreds of miles to the west.
Are you in Cyprus now, or do you live in another country and you're just descended from Cypriots?

is a Eurasian island nation in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea south of the Anatolian peninsula (Asia Minor) or modern-day Turkey. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The Republic of Cyprus is divided into six districts [1]: Nicosia (the capital, Greek: Lefkosia, Anglicised: Nicosia, Cypriot Turkish:LefkoÅa), Ammochostos (Famagusta,MaÄusa), Keryneia (Kyrenia, Girne), Larnaka (Larnaca,Ä°skele), Lemesos (Limassol,Limasol), and Pafos (Baf). A former British colony, the Republic of Cyprus gained independence in 1960 while the United Kingdom retained two Sovereign Base Areas. Following 11 years of alternating intercommunal violence and peaceful attempts at reconciliation, including the establishment of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus in 1964, Turkey launched a two-stage invasion of the island in 1974 in response to an Athens-engineered coup which overthrew the legitimate Cypriot government of President Makarios. The invasion led to the internal displacement of thousands of Greek and Turkish Cypriots and the subsequent establishment of a Disputed territory regime to govern the invaded area, currently styling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, separated from the south by the UN-controlled Green Line and recognized only by Turkey. Today the Republic of Cyprus is a developed country and a member of the European Union since 1 May 2004.
