Wherever you decide to discover, there’s no doubt you’ll be met with the warm hospitality the Cypriots are so well known for.
Why visit Cyprus?
· Mixing Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish fare, the food scene here is sensational. Think of long afternoons with a colourful meze, a Cypriot speciality that combines lots of small plates including salads, grilled meats, cheeses and dips. Typically, you’ll find salty halloumi, creamy hummus, refreshing tzatziki and souvla – big chunks of meat marinated and then charcoaled – on the menu.
· The culture and history here are gripping, and so multifaceted. You’ll discover ancient ruins, Neolithic dwellings, Phoenician tombs, stone castles atop mountain peaks, old cities and Roman mosaics, to name but a few.
· The Mediterranean climate makes Cyprus a wonderful destination to visit all year round. The summer months of June to September are the most popular thanks to the sun-soaked days of water sports, sunbathing and dining al fresco on offer. Cyprus is a favourite for winter sun holidays too, as the weather is mild enough for you to explore the cultural attractions and hike along the rugged cliffs.
