Why go on holiday to Cyprus?
An island of traditional villages, ancient sites, medieval castles and glorious sunshine - any guesses? An island of rugged mountains, heavenly beaches, fashionable spas, a land that has seen the perfect synthesis of east meeting west. The impressionable clean beaches, the voluminous mountains that offer you a mixture of both skiing and hiking opportunities, the vine-blessed countryside, the charming hilltops and essentially the underrated Cypriot wine offers you enough reasons to fall in love with this island.
What is there to see?
There are Roman and Greek remnants scattered right across the island for the historians around - well worth a visit. Though it has some surviving political problems, the tension has lessened to a great extent. The European culture that you come across here has indelible links with the past. Situated In the eastern Mediterranean region, the Cyprian landscape is characteristically diverse with rocky hills, forest covered mountains, sandy beaches and rugged coastline. The
Troodos
Mountains are amazingly beautiful. You can also not afford to miss a glimpse of the ‘pan-handle’ (which is a fertile Messaoria Plain) and
Morphu
Basin around
Morphu
Bay in the west.
What is there to do?
Among the activities, cycling is one of the more popular, since the terrain offers you very suitable riding conditions. It is also the most inexpensive ways of getting around the island. Apart from that, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, wind surfing, paragliding, swimming, skiing, and snowboarding are also common pastimes. Another sport that is growing in Cyprus - golf. You can easily hire a set of clubs to play on one of the courses scattered around the island. The Amathusia Festival, the National Gymnastics Tournament, beach volleyball tournaments, youth concerts, village cultural events, a festival of ancient Greek drama, international folk dance festivals, the Larnaca Summer Festival and some memorable concerts by world famous artists are also of special interest. As far as cuisine is concerned, international cuisine is widely available alongside the local Cypriot dishes like mezze, tava or dolmades.
