Welcome to Cyprus

Basking in the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus is an island where myth and history blend seamlessly with sun-drenched landscapes and crystalline waters. Birthplace of Aphrodite and a crossroads of civilisations, Cyprus is a land of ancient ruins, medieval castles, and timeless villages set against a backdrop of pine-cloaked mountains and golden beaches. Whether you're exploring its archaeological wonders, hiking in the Troodos Mountains, or sipping wine in a sleepy hillside village, Cyprus promises a journey steeped in culture, adventure, and warm hospitality.

Must-sees:

• Paphos’ archaeological treasures – home to the stunning Roman mosaics of the House of Dionysus.
• The Troodos Mountains – where nature trails wind past waterfalls, painted Byzantine churches, and traditional villages.
• Nicosia’s old town – a labyrinth of narrow streets, Ottoman-era buildings, and the Green Line, dividing the island’s capital.
• The Akamas Peninsula – a wild, untouched stretch of coastline, perfect for hiking, off-roading, and turtle spotting.
• Larnaca’s Salt Lake & Hala Sultan Tekke – a serene winter refuge for flamingos and a sacred Islamic pilgrimage site.

Culinary culture:

Cypriot cuisine is a delicious fusion of Greek, Middle Eastern, and Ottoman influences, best savoured in a traditional taverna. Start with mezze, an endless parade of small plates, from grilled halloumi to rich taramasalata. Mains include kleftiko, slow-cooked lamb, and souvla, charcoal-grilled skewers. For something sweet, loukoumades – honey-drizzled doughnuts – are irresistible, best enjoyed with Cypriot coffee. And don’t leave without trying Commandaria, the island’s historic dessert wine.

Dive deeper:

Cyprus reveals its vibrant soul through festivals that punctuate the year. In March, the Limassol Carnival fills the streets with colourful parades, music and playful satire, the island’s most exuberant celebration. In June, Kataklysmos (Pentecost) honours the sea with dances, concerts and the lyrical duels of tsiattista, a UNESCO-listed tradition. Come September, the Grape Harvest Festival transforms mountain villages into lively gatherings, where Cypriot wines flow and folklore comes alive.

Good to know:

The best time to visit Cyprus is spring or autumn when temperatures are warm. The island uses the euro, and car hire is the best way to explore, though public transport connects major towns. Note that Cyprus is divided between the Republic of Cyprus in the south and the Turkish-controlled north, with crossings in Nicosia and other key locations.
