The Mediterranean Sea basin is home to thousands of islands, but only one of them is the home of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite – that is Cyprus. And it is here, on sunny Cyprus, that history, nature and modernity weave together into a perfect whole, creating a place you will fall in love with at first sight.
The island of Aphrodite, situated in the azure waters of the Eastern Mediterranean, awaits you, whatever your travel purpose. Cyprus offers the perfect blend of work and leisure, boasting over 300 days of sunshine a year, magnificent natural beauty, world-class infrastructure, and unique attractions.
Our beaches and bathing waters are not only beautiful but also considered the cleanest in all of Europe. A short distance from the coast lie the Troodos Mountains – covered in pine and cedar trees, and home to wild mouflon. Hidden amongst the hills are monasteries and painted churches, which are listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Cyprus is a true paradise for archaeology enthusiasts. From Neolithic settlements over 11,000 years old, through impressive Greco-Roman structures such as the ancient theatre in Kourion, to medieval fortresses – for example Kolossi Castle – the list of cultural treasures is filled with remarkable sites.
