Using a blank map of Cyprus

A blank map of Cyprus gets used in two quite different ways. Teachers and pupils put it into worksheets and projects; couples, travel firms and designers put it onto invitations, brochures and artwork. This page has Outline only, the shape with nothing inside, and With borders, which draws its 5 administrative areas. Both come as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

Invitations, brochures and artwork

For a wedding or a party in Cyprus, the SVG of Outline only makes a neat motif on an invitation or a place card: open it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, give it a thin gold stroke or a soft fill and set it beside the names and the date. A travel agency can put the PNG on a brochure page or a social post, where the transparent background lets the photograph or colour behind it show. Small businesses sometimes sketch a logo from the outline; the vector file keeps the line clean at any size.

A five-piece jigsaw

With borders has only five shapes, which makes a quick classroom jigsaw. Print the PDF on card, cut along the inner lines and give each group the pieces in an envelope. Groups put Cyprus back together and then write the name of each area on its piece, using the list further down this page. For a revision card, shrink the PNG into a corner of a page of notes and number the areas to match your headings.

Picking the version and the file

With borders draws the five areas and nothing else; take it when the areas are the point. Outline only is for designs, title slides and any task where inner lines would get in the way. The PNG is for documents and slides, the SVG for design tools, and the PDF prints at 100% on A4 or Letter. For black-and-white class sets, use the printable map of Cyprus. For names, pins or colours on the map itself, Customise this map opens the outline in the editor.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?

Outline only is the shape of Cyprus with no inner lines, which suits stationery, logos and title slides. With borders adds the lines of its 5 administrative areas for labelling, colouring or a jigsaw. Neither has names on it.

Can I open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma?

Yes. The SVG of Cyprus is a vector file and opens in all three. You can change the stroke, fill the shape with a colour or pattern, and scale it to any size without blurring.

How many administrative areas does the blank map show?

The With borders version shows 5 administrative areas, each as its own shape. Their names are listed further down this page as a key, since the map itself carries none.
