This island, located in the eastern Mediterranean, has rich history, and even richer beauty. With its rugged, wild interior and endless wine vineyards, accompanied by its coastal beaches, Cyprus is an exotic destination.
Adorned with ancient churches, mosques, palaces, and tombs, Cyprus is filled with wonder and mystery.
Known for its beautiful beaches, Cyprus has a rugged interior with wine-growing regions. It’s separated into a Greek south and Turkish north, with the capital Nicosia also divided. Coastal Paphos is famed for its archaeological sites relating to the cult of Aphrodite, including ruins of palaces, tombs and mosaic-adorned villas.
With sunshine nearly every day of the year, endless fields of wildflowers, and unspoilt beaches, Cyprus is the perfect place for those in need of a quiet, relaxing holiday.
