Where clifftops meet ancient ruins and turquoise waters cradle untold stories, Cyprus shines with a Mediterranean allure that\u2019s endlessly cinematic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as the island of love, Cyprus is the setting for the new Netflix film Find Me Falling, starring Harry Connick Jr. Christina Koullas visits the sets with the film\u2019s director and falls in love with an island that is every bit as photogenic as it appears on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filmmaker Stelana Kliris and I are standing on the clifftop where much of her new Netflix film Find Me Falling is set, and I might be taking the film title to heart seeing as my stomach flutters when we\u2019re closer to the edge than I\u2019d like. I\u2019m surprised at how remote the area, only a little outside of the town of Peyia, in the Paphos region, feels. After all, this is an island where you can drive from the west \u2013 where we\u2019re currently perched \u2013 to the east of the country in a matter of hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot many people know Cyprus, and they think it\u2019s a Greek island but it\u2019s so much more than that,\u201d says Stelana, who describes her new romantic comedy as a \u201clove letter to Cyprus\u201d. Cyprus is an island nation in the east Mediterranean Sea, technically part of West Asia but with cultural ties far closer to that of southern Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
