Cyprus Overview

The beautiful island of Cyprus has a wealth of amazing places to visit and scenery to view. Along with its forests, mountains, coastlines and beaches there are places of historical and archaeological importance.

Further inland there are the Troodos Mountains with vast area of vines and forests. It is an absolute marvel to see.

The mountains are great to get out of the heat and feel the cool air. The nights have an aroma of pine trees and wild herbs. The valleys are very fruitful bearing almonds, cherry, apple, pear and plum. They have quaint little villages scattered around.

The western end of Cyprus has developed into its own especially Paphos. It is still as old world as it used to be. It is a great town and area for viewing the harbour and beaches. However half way between Limassol and Paphos lay two beaches that are very attractive. These are Evdimou (which has a bar) and Pissouri (which has a hotel complex).

Up on the North Coast lies the little town Polis with Latchi nearby. Latchi is a harbour town and often serves swordfish straight from the sea. It boasts a most beautiful beach. Further along the coast lies the place where Aphrodite used to bathe. Its name is Fontana Amorosa and has a foaming spring.

In the south east lies another little town named Aiya Napa. It is an historical fishing village which combines so much versatility without changing the old world style.

Throughout the winter, walking, horse riding, tennis and skiing are favourite pastimes.
