Get Ready for Your Unforgettable Cyprus Holiday

Lovely, lovely, lovely! That’s what we can use to describe the beauty of Cyprus – with its marvelous beaches fringed with clear azure water and a long, long list of archeological sites and attractions. No wonder the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, gave her sign of support when she was said to have risen from the island itself.

Now, Cyprus beckons what fun awaits! Relaxing days filled with boundless beauty – this Mediterranean island has plenty of these. You will surely want to come back again and again, and Cyprus will welcome you with open arms.

One of the main attractions of Cyprus are its beaches. Indeed, the clear, warm and turquoise waters are particularly inviting, especially at the beaches in Ayia Napa and Protaras. Water-sports abound at Cyprus’ many beaches – you can indulge in some snorkeling, kite-surfing and water-skiing. There are also some water parks you can enjoy with the whole gang or with the family.

Now, you can also go trekking and mountain climbing, especially at the picturesque Troodos mountains. The famed Mount Olympus is located at the top. Summers are particularly lovely. You can hike up to any one of the hilltop villages to soak in some of the local culture. When the winter comes, it’s time to ski down the slopes along powdery snow.

Cyprus also boasts of archeological sites that hark back to the Stone Age as well as the Roman Empire. The capital, Nicosia, boasts of a showcase of beautiful Venetian walls. There is also Hamam Omerye, which is a 14th Century bath house that stands testimony to the diversity of Cyprus’ culture. It used to be an Augustinian church and a mosque before it was reconverted into a Bath House.

Cyprus is also all about castles and palaces – Kyrenia Caste, Kantara Castle and Vouni Palace. As for museums, you can find fascinating collections at the Guzelyurt Museum, the Byzantine Museum and the Shipwreck Museum.

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.
