Cyprus
Thanks to its perfect position in the middle of the Mediterranean, Cyprus has,
over the last 9000 years, been very popular. Romans, Phoenicians, Persians,
Greeks, Assyrians, Egyptians and Byzantines have all ruled here at one point!
Even Richard the Lion Heart couldn't resist visiting!
Now it's your turn to sample
the delights:
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.
ancient vineyards, crusader castles, frescoed monasteries and, best of
all, hot Mediterranean sun! Even in winter, it's one of the best places to spend your
days relaxing on the beech, or exploring the interesting towns and markets.
