There is nothing to get amazed since few people do know that Cyprus, an island in the eastern Mediterranean, is one of the most religious countries in the sphere of European Union. Through this it does join the list of Malta, Romania, Greece, and Poland and is under the aegis of both Greek Orthodox Church of Cyprus and Turkish Cypriots, adherents of Sunni Islam, all at once. Limassol is not an exception to this and for this reason, edifices in relation to both Christianity and Islam can be found here. These, in due course, have become major attractions.
