Capital
Nicosia
White sands, cyan seas, rolling vineyards – Cyprus has some swoon-worth scenery.
Our cruises in Cyprus drop you off on the island’s southern belly, in Limassol. This coastal city’s perfectly placed for exploring. A former European Capital of Culture, Paphos, is a 50-minute drive south, while Ayia Napa’s beaches and bars are just over an hour away. Plus, book a Cyprus Cruise & Stay holiday and you can decamp to Paphos for a hotel stay – either before or after your trip.
Cyprus lives up to its Island of Love label. Over the years, Marc Antony, Richard the Lionheart and even the Goddess of Love herself have all been won over by its charms. First off, there’s the weather. This place basks in sun 326 days a year, with mild winter temperatures of 15-20°C. Then there are the beaches, which range from electric-blue bays to lengthy stretches of blonde sand. Finally, you can fill your boots with history at the Tombs of the Kings, crumbling castles and mountain monasteries.
Set on Akrotiri Bay, Limassol is the island’s biggest seaside town with plenty to offer its visitors. Whether you’ve come here in search of age-old sights or bubbling bars, the town’s a mixed bag of delights that never fails to impress. Head to Paphos to tick off some of Cyprus’ most famous sights.
TUI River Cruises tick off everything from big-name cities like Budapest and Vienna to barely-trodden bankside beauties, like Cochem and Durnstein – via iconic waterways including the Rhine and Danube. Best of all? Flights, transfers and meals with drinks are all included.
