Situated in the eastern Mediterranean, the beautiful island of Cyprus is an interesting mixture of western European culture with a touch of the East thanks to its location close to Africa and Asia. Cyprus is a relatively small island but it is packed with fantastic beaches and resorts, ancient history including Greek and Roman remains and Greek mythology.

Cyprus is divided by a ‘green line’ which divides north from south, with Turkish Cyprus in the north and Greek Cyprus in the south. Most visitors head to southern Cyprus where most of the tourist resorts are located - its capital Nicosia is unique as it is also divided by the green line.

What to see in Cyprus

Cyprus is often known as the ‘Island of Aphrodite’ due to the legend of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, who rose from the sea. Cyprus has a host of attractions which draw a huge number of visitors each year, not least its year-round sunshine, long warm summers and mild winters. The packed and vibrant holiday resorts of Agia Napa and Paphos attract a younger crowd but there are quieter, stunning beaches on the Karpas Peninsula and along the coast in northern Cyprus.

Many of Cyprus’s bigger towns boast historic city centers including Limassol with its medieval castle, Paphos with some important archaeological sites dating back to Hellenistic and Roman Times and Nicosia with its maze of narrow streets in the Old City, bustling markets, colonial houses and museums.
