SUN-DRENCHED SHORES, COMPELLING CULTURE, AND MOUTHWATERING CUISINE

Cyprus is ideal for a luxury beach escape, but its attractions stretch further inland to picturesque scenery, winding trails for hiking and mountain biking, and all the water sports you care to try your hand at.

Cyprus’ incredible history stretches back to ancient mythology as the birthplace of Aphrodite -the Greek Goddess of love and the ancient town of Paphos is home to the UNESCO World Heritage listed Tomb of the Kings which are believed to date back to the 3rd century BC.

Paphos is a charming harbour resort where traditional tavernas serve freshly caught seafood and endless Meze dishes, the perfect meal to end a day in the sunshine before an evening stroll along the cobbled waterfront.

The peaceful village of Kouklia is the mystical birthplace of Aphrodite where you can drink from her fountain of love, and explore the ancient archaeological site of Pafos, or enjoy a spot of scuba diving under the surrounding waters.

Protaras offers a livelier experience with some of the best beaches on the island, including the glorious Fig Tree Bay with its endless stretches of sand a pleasantly warm waters.  Protaras offers a quieter but still animated alternative to the party capital of Ayia Napa with a choice of busy bars and restaurants to dance the night away and is also a perfect base for exploring the nearby sites of eerie Famagusta and the lively port town of Limassol.
