Omer ..... thanks for the info .... it'l be interesting experience given I haven't been to a diaspora Cypriot Club for over 20 years lol ....... the questions are just nothing more than a good catch for their daughters lol

[Get Real!]

However, the greatest Cypriot of all time would have to be the frist leader/mayor/elder of the ancient settlement of Choirokitia!

Who was that again? I heard it was Kyriakos Tsoupras....he's old enough.

No, it's more like Dora Kakouratou!

I'd nominate Stavros Flately.

[CBBB]

I nominate our friend from Lurucina who's name may not be mentioned (I don't understand YNot!) for his outstanding contribution in spreading peace and harmony wherever he goes!

He is doing this very well in his new home.
