Whether you're exploring the sun-kissed shores or venturing into the cool, unspoiled tranquillity of the Troodos mountain range, the island is a haven for nature lovers, artists, photographers, and adventurers alike. Hidden amidst the island’s winding trails, secluded beaches, and picturesque waterfalls, you'll discover rare plants and encounter shy wildlife in their natural habitat.
​
As a key stopover on the migration route between Europe, Asia, and Africa, Cyprus is a paradise for birdwatchers. The salt lakes teem with flamingos, while countless other species pass through or nest here, offering a birdwatching experience like no other. In the island's dense forests, the elusive Mouflon – Cyprus' national animal – roams freely, offering a rare and exciting sight for both locals and visitors fortunate enough to spot this wild sheep in its natural environment.
Immerse Yourself in Culture
Cyprus is a small island with a rich and dynamic history that stretches back over 10,000 years, making it one of the oldest civilisations in the Mediterranean. Its captivating cultural heritage is evident in the abundance of ancient sites, museums, monuments, and galleries that showcase the island's fascinating past. Positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Cyprus' strategic location has shaped its turbulent history, influencing its development from antiquity to the present day.
​
Around 3,500 years ago, the Mycenaean Greeks arrived, introducing their civilisation and solidifying the island’s deep Greek roots. Over the centuries, Cyprus welcomed waves of diverse cultures, including the Phoenicians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Romans, Franks, Venetians, Ottomans, and British, each leaving behind their own lasting mark. This blend of influences has created a vibrant mosaic of history and culture, making Cyprus an island of rich, diverse heritage.
Sink Your Toes Into the Warm Sand
Cyprus offers an idyllic scene that can be enjoyed almost year-round, with a wealth of experiences to suit every mood. Whether you’re lounging in the sun with a refreshing drink in hand, or seeking the thrill of trying a new water sport, the island provides the perfect setting. From serene, hidden bays to bustling resorts, and from soft sandy beaches to rugged rocky coves, Cyprus’ vast coastline boasts an incredible variety of beaches, each with its own charm and unique facilities.
​
Beyond simply relaxing on warm sands, the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean invite you to explore both above and below the surface. After all, even the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, was born from the sea foam off the coast of Pafos (Paphos)! Take a leisurely stroll along quaint piers, marinas, and harbours, with the gentle sway of boats in the background. Try your hand at fishing for the ‘catch of the day’, or embark on a boat trip to uncover hidden coves and dramatic coastal caves. For those seeking adventure, a short cruise to a neighbouring country offers the chance to combine two incredible holidays in one unforgettable escape.
