What to expect?

Larnaca on the southeast coast of Cyprus has lovely beaches, ancient towns, and fun nightlife. Lively Ayia Napa is famous for its spectacular Nissi Beach, whereas quieter Protaras is perfect for a family holiday because of its clear shallow waters. 


On Cyprus’ north coast you’ll find undisturbed landscapes, historic harbours, and the impressive Five Finger Mountains. Further inland is Nicosia, Cyprus' capital known for its varied cultures, history and timeless cafés.


On the west coast you can expect green forests and gorgeous scenery. Paphos is known for its sandy beaches, historical sites, and the beautiful marina, and nearby Limassol is popular for its beach resorts, promenades, and historic old town.

What to do?

Discover one of the most iconic places in Cyprus: Cape Greco with its photogenic cliffs and caves. This stunning national Park is famous for its views of the sea and coast, and is an excellent choice for those seeking adventures such as hiking, cycling and swimming. 


Explore an important archaeological UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Tomb of the Kings and its well-preserved underground tombs and chambers. Swim out to the impressive Aphrodite's Rock, located on one of Cyprus’ most stunning coastlines, or perhaps visit the beach to watch the sunset.
