About Cyprus
Cyprus stands at the far eastern limits of the Mediterranean, with its rich blend of European and Eastern influences. Its history has been shaped by Roman, Greek and Turkish empires, this has led to a unique culture, cuisine and atmosphere. Popular with British holidaymakers for many years, there is a fantastic variety of resorts from which to choose, each offering its own special character. Getting out-and-about in Cyprus gives you the chance to see some of the contrasting areas of the island that make this such a unique holiday destination.
As you'd expect from a country with a history as rich as Cyprus, you will find plenty of ancient Roman and Greek sites, particularly around the old capital of Paphos.
Nightlife is what you would expect from the lively resorts like Ayia Napa, where you can dance the night away, to traditional Cypriot villages high up in the Troodos mountains, you’ll find cobbled streets sharply contrasted with modern beachfront hotels. If you want to simply unwind and relax in the idyllic climate, then experience the friendly tavernas and traditional Cypriot welcome in the village of Latchi or stroll the palm-lined promenade in Larnaca, the oldest town on the island.
Most Cypriots have a good command of spoken English and driving on the left are two remnants of the British influence which makes us feel at home. Now-a-days, Cypriot culture is very European in fact Cyprus recently became a full member of the European Union. It is the sincerity of the welcome, the blend of a friendly culture with excellent facilities coupled with hot sun and good food that makes this recipe irresistible. Holidaymakers from all walks of life and all age groups return time and time again to Aphrodite's island.
