Holidays in Cyprus - what to expect

Cyprus has a great deal packed into such a small space. Situated in the eastern Mediterranean Cyprus boasts not only good beaches and holiday resorts, but it is riddled with the relics of ancient history, from the beehive huts of primitive man to classical Greek and Roman ruins, and everything imaginable in-between.

Holidays in Cyprus - Information

Cyprus is unique in Europe because it is divided by the "green line" that bisects the whole island, dividing north from south when the Turks invaded and took over the north. Most of the tourism development since then has taken place in the southern sector but has not dampened the island's appeal as a holiday Mecca.

The charms of Cyprus are many and varied, from the weather, sunny and dry for most of the year, to the clear, blue sea warmly encapsulating this island paradise. There is much to explore in Cyprus, the quaint tavernas and historic ruins make for a nice peaceful afternoon, to picturesque mountain villages with hoards of monasteries, castles, and fascinating museums.

The local people are warm and welcoming of tourists and you will be able to indulge in local island traditions as Cyprus seamlessly marries European culture with ancient enchantment.

Holidays in Cyprus - Beaches

The best place to soak up the Cyprus sunshine is at the beach, and with more than four hundred miles of coastline, there are plenty from which to choose.

For a quiet trip to the beach escape to the remote Akamas Peninsula on the west coast to Governor"s Beach near Limassol. In the north, peep at the nesting places of rare turtles on Alagadi Beach and explore remote hideaways along the Karpas peninsula.

For serious watersports, try Paphos a family friendly beach as well as the Municipal Beach and the quieter Faros Beach or head out to Kato Paphos. Go yachting from Kyrenia, and the adventurous can try parascending around Famagusta.
