RAF Akrotiri is one of the few full-scale Royal Air Force stations left outside the United Kingdom.
It is located on the island of Cyprus, but it is not part of the territory of the government in Nicosia. When the UK granted Cypriot independence in 1960, it retained a small amount of territory to create the UK sovereign bases. Akrotiri stands within the limits of that territory.
