CYflag

What ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡พ means

A copper-colored map of the island above two green olive branches on white: the flag of Cyprus, the Mediterranean island nation.

Holidaymakers post ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡พ from Limassol, Paphos and Ayia Napa, with ๐Ÿ–๏ธ and โ˜€๏ธ. Cypriots use it for national pride and football, and food posts pair it with halloumi.

The copper color is a nod to the island's old copper mines; the Latin word for copper comes from the island's name. The olive branches stand for peace.
