Cyprus, the Paradise Island, with its beautiful scenery, wonderful beaches, lively resorts and a superb sunshine record has always been a popular destination for overseas travellers. The Persians were the first to discover the island, followed by the Phoenicians and then the Romans, Crusaders and Greeks. Each has left their mark on the island but Cyprus has managed to retain its unique character and the hospitality offered to visitors is one of the warmest to be found anywhere.Situated in the northeast of the Mediterranean basin, Cyprus is the third largest island with an area of 9,251 square kilometres (3,572 square miles). It offers a wide variety of holiday accommodation, ranging from modern, large and Luxurious establishments, to small and simple family run operations.About as complete a holiday island as you can get, Cyprus has something for everyone. With 340 days of sunshine each year and blessed with a coastline indented with secluded bays and large expanses of white sandy beaches, the island is a Mecca for sun worshippers.The landscape is spectacular. The rugged mountains covered in pine trees and exotic flora and fauna, plateaus of vineyards and banana plantations and the wilderness area of the Akamas are popular with walkers and nature enthusiasts, whilst historians can trace the Island’s 9,000 year history through well-preserved archaeological sites such as the Tombs of Kings, the Kourion amphitheatre, the Temple of Apollo and the holy Islamic Tekke Mosque. Gastronomes will find eating out a special pleasure. You can linger for hours over wine and conversation whilst sampling the delights of a Cypriot meze, a meal consisting of some 12 different dishes, or alternatively try fresh fish, caught earlier in the day. And if you’re a sporting type, many hotels have tennis, squash and gymnasium facilities and there are golf courses, and riding schools. Whether your penchant is for long sandy beaches, laser discos, peaceful tavernas or cocktails by the pool, Cyprus has it all.

The Cypriots adore children, so families can feel very welcome here, and there are plenty of activities to keep the little ones happy!

Sports enthusiasts will find a wealth of watersports, golf, fishing, gyms, mountain biking, hiking, horse-riding and even gliding to enjoy!
