Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean. It has a classical
history and a climate that is the envy of the Mediterranean,
with over 300 days of sunshine a year making it a perfect
location for lying on the clean, sandy beaches or taking a dip
in the clear blue sea.
Not only is it the warmth of the climate that attracts people,
but also the warmth of the locals. The Cypriots are renowned
for their friendly welcome and genuine hospitality. The island
is dominated by the pine-covered Troodos mountains filled with tiny
villages, impressive Byzantine churches and an abundance of
historical sites. In contrast to the unspoilt landscape of the
mountains, the coastal resorts and the nightlife is
surprisingly cosmopolitan.
All this combined with the high standard of service that Cyprus
offers ensures that visitors return to this beautiful island
time and time again.
Tracing its history back over 9000 years, has seen many
civilizations come and go. Also by being the chosen island
of the
Greek mythical Gods, it is not surprising that Cyprus is full of
historical sites and legendary stories - to add yet another
reason to visit.
Whilst the whole island of Cyprus has something to offer, it is
the west of the island in the region of Paphos that seems is most able to claim to have
a little of everything - with the unspoiled Akamas Peninsular, to beautiful beaches, to many of the islands
historical attractions and to being home to many of the Greek
legends.
