About Cyprus

Cyprus as a destination is not just about its beaches, as it also offers skiing and hiking in its voluminous mountains, charming hilltop villages and vine-blessed slopes with nearby towns where you can sample the seriously underrated Cypriot wine.

Travellers are enticed to Cyprus by the overwhelming number of ancient monuments and archaeological sites, including churches and monasteries.

The rich story of the island can be traced back over 10,000 years. Like many Mediterranean islands, Cyprus has long been seen as an important strategic base with various civilisations having swept through over the years from the Ottoman Turks to the British, the Greeks to the Romans.
