Welcome to Olive Branch CY
Island-wide news, all in one place.
Think of us as your friendly weekly catch-up on everything happening across Cyprus. We keep an eye on the breaking news, the best hotel and travel deals, local events and festivals, sport, food, property, dog-friendly places, walking trails and environmental news — so you don't have to go hunting for it across a dozen different websites and Facebook groups. We gather it all up, sort out what's actually useful, and pop it straight in your inbox once a week.
