Cyprus the images that come to mind are beaches and lush countryside – beauty as such that you are not likely to forget. Legend even goes to show that this is the place where Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, arose from the waters. Not only that, Cyprus is also a treasure house of historical sites – places and buildings that hark back to past empires and glorious days. Cyprus is found to the south of Turkey and is one of the major islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
We invite you to a Cyprus holiday. We assure you that you will come back home refreshed and relaxed, with plenty of memories to cherish as you wait the next opportunity to return to this Mediterranean island.
Cyprus provides a whole list of attractions. Of course, there are beaches with plenty of watersports to be indulged in – snorkeling, water-skiing and kite-surfing. Ayia Napa and Protaras are decidedly the best beaches to go to. There are also water parks for you to swim, surf and splash about.
For more of nature’s bounty, climb up, up, up gorgeous Troodos mountains – with Mount Olympus at its very peak. There are a bevy of hilltop villages where you can just soak up and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. During summers, you can go bird watching, hiking and cycling. Winter times are for woosh, woosh, whooshing down the trail at the ski slopes.
Archeological sites are also readily found in Cyprus, in fact this country has received recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wall that harks back to the Stone Age and even the Roman Empire’s still stand, well preserved. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus is also home to Hama Omerye (a 14th century bath house) and a number of stunning Venetian walls (that have been kept intact all these years).
Other sites of interest include the museums (including Guzelyurt Museum), palaces and castles (like Kyrenia Caste and the Vouni Palace.
Now, Cyprus also comes abuzzing on evenings, with the night denizens coming into active mode. There are plenty of places to dance in as you socialize with the locals.
