"Our role is clear: to unite – and not to deepen divisions. Therefore, we carry an important responsibility – to stand together for the power of sport and to live up to our shared mission to make the world a better place through sport.”

Thomas Bach
President of the International Olympic Committee

Our Olympic team is preparing for the Olympic Games. We have worked hard, with dedication towards our goal. We have given all that we can so that the inexhaustible Cyprus talent can be highlighted and for our athletes to be included amongst the best worldwide. We believe that they are ready for the big summer celebration, to fight for what is "beautiful and true" and to make our small country proud.

For Cyprus, faster, higher, stronger, together with the Olympic team in Paris.

EUROPA 2024 – “Fauna and Flora”

Comprising of 2 stamps.
Available on Cyprus Stamps website as a set of 2 stamps MINT and/or CTO (USED) stamps, Full Sheets x 2 of 8 stamps (Mint) or Used (subject to availability), Booklet (different dimension than usual) and a Post Office Official First Day Cover.

The underwater Fauna & Flora was the theme chosen by PostEurop for this year's issue of Europa stamps.

The seas of Cyprus are rich in fauna and flora.

The €0.34 stamp depicts algae. Algae are a large, multiphyletic class of unicellular or multicellular organisms of varying shapes and sizes. Microalgae are algae that are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, while some other species are visible to the naked eye and can reach several meters in length are called macroalgae.

The €0.64 stamp depicts the sea anemone. It belongs taxonomically to the anthozoa. There are several species of sea anemone of various colours, most of which are small (1.5 – 3 cm), although we can also encounter anemones with a much larger diameter. It owes its name to its overall appearance, which resembles a flower rather than a sea animal. Its body is almost cylindrical; its lower part is wider and with it rests upright and lives on all types of marine substrate, sand rocks, empty shells and macroalgae.
