The top 5 things to see and do in Cyprus

This incredible 10th-century Byzantine castle is perched upon a jagged mountain top. It's the best-preserved of the Kyrenia mountain strongholds and a treat to explore. You'll find hidden chambers and crumbling walls that are a treat to roam and imagine. Walt Disney was said to have drawn on the castle for his animation of Snow White. The castle is surrounded by fairy tale myths that are sure to entice adults and children alike.

2. Aphrodite’s Rock & Beach

St. Raphael 5*
The most famous beach in Cyprus is famed for its precarious upright rocks. So named for the ancient Goddess of love, it's said to be the spot where she emerged when finding lovers. It's a lovely spot at sunset and surrounded by a fine beach with excellent swimming waters. It's perfect for a picnic or late afternoon swim.

3. Kykkos Monastery

This bedazzled 11th-century Byzantine monastery is a wonder to explore. Built around a local hermit, Isaiah, it grew from a cave into a dazzling complex.

4. Tombs of the Kings

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is located just north of Paphos. Dating back to the 3rd century BCE, these ancient tombs were used to bury high officials.

Grave robbers have plundered the tombs of their treasures, but they remain remarkable cultural landmarks.

When is the best time to go on holiday in Cyprus

PAPHOS, CYPRUS WEATHER

Cyprus is a treat throughout the year, with highlights for every season. The high season generally sits between June and August. Accommodation can book up and prices increase, but the weather is at its hottest. To avoid the crowds around beach resorts, look for deals during spring and autumn. The weather can be more pleasant, especially for outdoor activities. Mountain hiking and kayaking adventures are particularly delightful during these periods. The low season lasts throughout winter. While ski resorts thrive, beach stays often close in winter. Some festivals to look out for include Lemesos Wine Festival in September and Bellapais Music Festival in May.

Going on holiday in Cyprus
