-Area Description
Cyprus is a small island country with a long history and a rich culture that spans 10,000 years, making it one of the oldest civilizations in the Mediterranean - as evidenced by the many fascinating cultural sights, museums, monuments and galleries. Situated at the crossroads of three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa - the island’s unique geographic position has played an important part in its turbulent past since antiquity. The scenery of Cyprus unfolds across glittering coasts, rolling mountains, fragrant forests and rugged headlands.
-Requirements
Everybody is eligible in working in hotels, but the program is highly beneficial for those studying a degree related to tourism and hospitality. Previous work experience in the same field is considered an advantage.
-Curriculum Activities
Sun-soaked stretches of sand are Cyprus' calling card and there's a beach for everyone here, from wild and windswept to family-friendly and packed. Every conceivable water sport is on offer, from scuba diving to skimming the surface on a kite- or windsurf board. And if you tire of all that blue, strike out into the interior, where wildflower-studded meadows and valleys of densely planted vineyards sweep up to a pine-clad mountain spine offering hiking, biking and, yes, even winter skiing. There are also many sights to see in Cyprus and the most popular ones are: Pafos Archaeological Site, Ancient Kourion, Tombs of the Kings, Zenobia, St Hilarion Castle, Venetian Walls, Kykkos Monastery and Selimiye Mosque.
