Beaches are only part of the story on a holiday to Cyprus. The island is also home to mountain scenery, centuries-old sights and unforgettable food.

Playground of the Gods

If history is your thing, then a cruise and stay in Cyprus is the right holiday for you. Explore Paphos Archaeological Park, with its open-air amphitheatre and well-preserved mosaics dating back to the Middle Ages. If that doesn’t whet your appetite, then visit Tomb of Kings, the impressive 4th-century underground tombs carved out of solid rock.

Take time to coast

Whether your perfect beach is secluded and remote, or you prefer something a little more lively, there’s plenty of choice in Cyprus. Head to Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa for beach bars, water-skiing, para-gliding and banana boats. Lara Bay, in Akamas Penisula, is hidden within a nature reserve, which gives you striking panoramic views of the turquoise waters and pine tree-clad cliffs.

Action-packed

A cruise and stay holiday to Cyprus is your chance to try something different. Seek adventure with a 4x4 safari in the Troodos Mountains, or have a go at some go-karting or even paintballing at Sayious Adventure Park in Limassol. For a totally unique experience, trot through Paphos’ vast countryside at Eagle Mountain Ranch, followed by a trip up the mountains for wine tasting at Tsangarides Winery.

Island of Love

If you’re looking to get a slice of romance then head to Petra Tou Romiou – more commonly known as the Rock of Aphrodite. Legend claims that this beach spot is where the Goddess of Love rose from the sea, and if you swim around the giant rock three times, you’ll find true love. If you’re already all loved up, then you can swim round once for luck, or use the opportunity to get some picture-perfect couple shots on the pebbly beach.

WHEN TO GO

Set in the far south of the Mediterranean, Cyprus has one of the best climates in Europe. Blue skies come as standard, and the island sees a massive 340 days of sunshine a year. Swimsuit temperatures kick in as early as April, when the mercury rises into the low 20s. Things get much hotter in the summer – 30 degrees is normal, although don’t be surprised if the thermometer creeps closer to 40 on some days. Autumn is slightly cooler, so it’s perfect for sightseeing or hiking in the Troodos Mountains. Cyprus gets most of its rain between December and March, but it’s not much, and temperatures are still pretty mild.
