This is quite common, but I have no idea what it is!
it forms an untidy mess, up to perhaps 2m tall,
in flower and fruit now,
quite common in the Polis area (lowland, western Cyprus) but I have no idea elsewhere in Cyprus

Mike, a pure guess but try Asparagus acutifolius.

Cyprus Branch Head. Gardens in a field 40 m above sea level with reasonably fertile clay soil.

Pure guess: spot on!
Confirmed by description in Flora of Cyprus.
Thanks John.
