I mean, yeah, in the sense that bridges allow you to drive to Bahrain from Singapore:

Singapore to Amritsar

Lahore to Bahrain

Google maps won't generate driving directions from India to Pakistan, but you can pretty clearly see that (border security notwithstanding) there's a land route/road connection between Amritsar and Lahore.

Cyprus is actually closer to Greece than any part of Africa. Greece has a small island named Kastellorizo which is 280 km away from Cyprus's nearest point. On the other hand, Egypt's closest point is only 380 km away. See Wikipedia: Cyprus.

I am about to end this whole argument. The UN states Cyprus is in Western Asia. Cyprus declares It's classified as a European Country. And the CIA World Factbook says It's in both continents. However it becomes complicated when you introduce demographics, cultural and country history, political history, and foreign relations. Cyprus is also a member of the Council of Europe, the EU, and other European-only organizations. Main arguments for geographical continental placement becomes arbitrary when countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, Iceland, and Palau are closer in proximity to different continents then the one they are "classified". So it seems everyone is right! Too late to change Jetpunk's official categorization though.

Cyprus is much closer to Asia mainland (Syria/Lebanon). If you want to judge taking Bosphorus strait as reference, then also it falls “well east”.

However, culturally the country is more “Eurocentric”. Moreover in 2004, the country became full time member of European Union suggesting it to be part of Europe.

But since your question is from geographical point of view, the easy answer would be: Cyprus is clearly part of Asia !!!

GeoPhilia

Level 57

It's slightly complicated. Tectonically, Europe and Asia are basically one continent and the geographical boundaries we've drawn are pretty arbitrary.

Most of Turkey is within Asia, though a small fraction of Turkish territory is on the European side of the Hellespont channel. The present capital of Turkey, Ankara, is well within Asia and the country is generally considered geographically 'Asian'.

Cyprus has always been considered 'European', but geographically it's much closer to the Asian mainland than the European (in fact I'm pretty sure it's closer to Africa than to Europe). I would personally put it geographically in Asia, due to proximity, but historically it's pretty much always been part of Europe.

Regarding the argument about where Cyprus is located and whether or not it is part of Europe because of its membership

in the European Union. Personally, I believe that if Malta is in Europe then so is Cyprus. However, that it is in the European

Union is not a valid argument. The countries of Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten, because of their being members of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, are all part of the European Union, but they are PHYSICALLY located in the Caribbean!

I've been to Rhodes but I wouldn't say I've been to Asia. Rhodes is definitely part of Greece. You may be able to see the Turkish coastline from Rhodes City on a clear day but that's it. I mean you can see Asia from the European side of Istanbul, too. I'm not sure where exactly the border of Europe/Asia lies on the water but probably somewhere around the edge of the Agean Sea and the Levantine Sea which places Rhodes in Europe and Cyprus in Asia GEOGRAPHICALLY.

Exclusion from the EU does not mean the country is not European. Classification for countries usually derive from demographics as well as cultural, historic, and political history. Not so much geographically however (see Trinidad and Tobago, Iceland, and Palau closest continents). However the EU is not the only European-only organization that Cyprus is included. Like the Council of Europe or the European Court of Human Rights for examples. But Cyprus can go either way.

Everybody discussing Cyprus, but what about Papua New Guinea? If Indonesian part of New Guinea is a part of Asia, than the Papuan should be as well

East Timor lies closer to Australia then the Asian continent but is not included into the Australian continent because of 'cultural reasons.' But when people want to include Cyprus into Europe people start to say "But Cyprus lies closer to the Asian continent even if it is cultural closer to Europe it should be counted as Asian." This is kind of ridiculous and Cyprus should be include into Europe on this site. It is include into Europe by most if not every international organization.

We're not getting into this argument

All I think is that if Turkey is in Asia, it would be strange to put Cyprus in Europe, as Turkey is rather influential on Cyprus

Yea, I swear Brunei is pretty much landlocked except from one side, so I do not understand how it is considered an island.

It's not an Island itself, but it's on an Island. Saw the argument on the 'Island Nations of the World' quiz that those countries can't be entirely on islands as they border Malaysia which isn't an answer. But it's a different part of Malaysia which borders mainland Asia. Borneo is an island which contains Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

My take on the Cyprus topic, which I haven't seen anyone mention and it's a bit disappointing. Cyprus is a country of hellenic background, which is the culture that is literally the cradle of western civilisation and what shaped Europe, and it's always been considered Europe by Europeans, now a bunch of Americans have recently discovered the island on a map and have decided that it belongs to Asia? Whatever, I got all 10 answers.

nearly didn't get all these then I remembered the weird classification of Cyprus as Asian. Turkey is arguable (it's clearly in both Asia and Europe as is Russia). Culturally European and an EU member but some people in North America have decided it must be in Asia. Bizarre
