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.

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
