Experience Cyprus: what to do, what to see

Tourist brochures surely paint a different picture of this island in the Mediterranean than the locals would. In any case, Cyprus offers a beautiful and interesting mix of Western influence and Eastern climate and geography. Located off the shores of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and not far from the Greek islands, Cyprus is often referred to as "the crossroads of three continents."

Essentials in Cyprus

The "island of Aphrodite" has more than just beach resorts to offer. Save time for hiking its rugged mountains, uncovering lost villages and scoping out ancient kingdoms when you plan a holiday in Cyprus.

Agia Napa: This city is located on the south-east corner of the island and has a reputation that's known all over Europe for wild parties and top-notch resorts. Designed for package tourists, if you travel there at high season it will be hard to find accommodations.

Troödos Massif: This mountainous region of Cyprus is most well-known for its highest peak, Mt Olympus. Ski in winter or escape the blistering sun in the summer. The most ideal is to take a Cyprus car hire up to see the little villages, Byzantine churches, and small communities on the way.

Ancient Salamis: Stepping into ancient Salamis, it's like time warping. Ruins here date back to 1100 BC when Salamis was the capital of Cyprus. The most impressive here is the Gymnasium, surrounded by columns. Equally impressive is the theatre with 50 rows of seats and its beheaded marble statues.

Lefkosia:Cyprus’ capital city, it is also the main centre for culture away from the beaches. It is considered the last divided city, as there is a check-point in order to enter the northern half of the city. It is a city of contrast with one side neat and tidy and the other cracked and quickly deteriorating. Both sides are worth a visit however.

Castles: Cyprus' north is dotted with Gothic castles, dating from the 10th to 15th centuries and built by Byzantines. St. Hilarion, Buffavento and Kantara sit atop mountain peaks and were essential in defending Cyprus during the Middle Ages.
