Frankly Im not impressed . Cyprus , an island with the finest mediterranean climate , fresh food and a carefree life style should be amongst the top 10 , smoking and road deaths are responsible for Cyprus being way down the list , I know that its better position than lets say Turkey but still not good enough .
