Limassol, Paphos, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Coral Bay, Pissouri and Kyrenia are just some of the most popular areas to visit in Cyprus, each one offering plenty of glorious coastlines and year-round sunshine. With at least six hours of sunshine daily (even in the middle of winter) and over 40 official Blue Flag beaches throughout the island, Cyprus is undoubtedly one of the best beach destinations in Europe for sun-seeking travellers. Beyond the beach, Cyprus is also known for its breath-taking natural landscapes, picturesque mountain ranges, rocky coves and lush countryside – making it so much more than just a ‘fly and flop’ holiday destination.

Cyprus is known as the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite and a playground for the gods in Greek mythology, with ancient Cypriot cities such as Soli and Salamis boasting rich histories dating back to 1100 BC.
