Cyprus

The home of Aphrodite

Cyprus has attracted people for over 9,000 years for a variety of reasons.  Today, it appeals to visitors from all over the world with only thing in mind: to relax and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

Basking in typically Mediterranean temperatures with very little rain, it’s an island of infinite possibilities.  Birthplace of Aphrodite, the legendary goddess of love and beauty, this scintillating island will draw you back time and again to its beautiful shores.

The island’s history is one of the oldest recorded in the world, dating back to the 7th millennium BC.  Mycenaean Greeks settled here and were followed over the centuries by Romans, Turks, Syrians and North Africans.  Cyprus is a great place for sightseeing, with many fascinating Greek and Roman heritage sites on the map.  You’ll discover that the ancient world lives side by side with modern, dynamic Cyprus and that today’s islanders continue to welcome visitors.

An island of unimaginable beauty, Cyprus has a startling variety of landscape from sandy Blue Flag beaches to snow capped mountains, traditional villages and olive groves.  The island has two main airports Larnaca and Paphos, served by approximately 30 major airlines with many flights from the UK and Ireland.  The island is covered by a network of modern and newly built roads, so getting about is quick and easy.
