| Welcome
to the island of Aphrodite, an island of legends
that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean
sun. A storied past 10,000 years long has seen civilizations
come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander
the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here -
but then, people do tend to get possessive when
faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home
on Cyprus, and travellers throughout antiquity came
here just to pay her tribute.
Today
Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries
European culture with ancient enchantment. Here
you will discover a compact world of alluring
beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards
studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that
stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone
villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations
at the local café. A carefree place where
a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness
of the people.
