Cyprus' splendid Mediterranean coastline boasts beautiful beaches in Paphos, Larnaca and Limassol
Cyprus holidays are all about appreciating all the beautiful things in life. Approximately five hours away from the UK and famous for its halloumi cheese, sweet wines and carnivals, Cyprus is spellbinding with an infectious cheerfulness. One of the most important aspects of Cypriot culture is the food - which is always on offer whether you’re hungry or not!
Warm and welcoming, Cypriot hospitality awaits you on the island of Aphrodite, as its commonly known, and Cyprus is teeming with appealing features and activities.
If it’s a city break you’re after, you’ll find Cyprus cities steeped in history, culture and tradition. Delve into Cyprus’ fascinating past by visiting its cities, and you’ll be met with historical architecture and buildings, art galleries and loads of museums with must-see artefacts – not to mention the epic shopping that is available. Take a stroll along perfectly aligned streets, pick up some great souvenirs, and taste incredible baklava.
After your jaunt in the city, you’ll soon discover an incredible coastline and picturesque landscapes. Take a hike across Troodos Mountain Range in the heart of Cyprus - the perfect road trip. Sun-worshippers can enjoy pristine beaches on the south coast, and the turquoise waters in Limassol are perfect for snorkelling. Explore the birthplace of Aphrodite at Petra Tou Romiou before retiring for pure relaxation on Coral Bay - take a peak at the spectacular sea caves and tuck into some incredible seafood while you are there!
One of Cyprus’ greatest attractions is its coastline, with glistening turquoise waters surrounding it. The enticing sun, sea, and fascinating culture are what attract most people to book a Cyprus holiday. Beach breaks here are certainly filled with as much variety along the coastline as possible - you'll never be short of things to do. And you’ll relish in those early morning and evening walks along expansive stretches of coastline.
Cyprus is jam-packed with exciting activities and family-friendly attractions, from windsurfing hotspots, Mount Olympus - the highest peak in Cyprus - and flamingos at Larnaca Salt Lake, to name a few. Not to mention the endless must-see historical and cultural attractions that are no less eye-catching than the other; all this, and more, makes Cyprus an excellent choice for a romantic break or a fun-filled family holiday.
If you want to escape to Europe and are tempted by a Cyprus all-inclusive holiday, contact our Travel Specialists today, and our experts will discuss the range of Cyprus holiday destinations available and design the perfect break for you.

You’ll have no trouble finding things to do and see in Cyprus. Cities are rich in culture with historic architecture, art galleries and many museums full of must-see artefacts. In Cyprus, you can learn all about Aphrodite, the ancient Greek Goddess of Love. Visit Aphrodite’s Rock, an amazing site with a jaw-dropping backdrop. And if you need time for some relaxation, why not head off to the Adonis Baths?
Besides cultural attractions, another thing Cyprus has in abundance is water activities and great food. So whether you’re visiting for fun, culture, history or pure relaxation, Cyprus has everything you want from a European holiday. Trips to Cyprus can involve tonnes of other activities, too. Take a hike up Troodos Mountain Range in the heart of Cyprus. Enjoy some family fun time at Paphos Zoo, where you can see one of Europe's largest collections of venomous snakes, plus giraffes, giant turtles, flamingos, and so much more. There isn’t much else you could ask for from your Cyprus holiday.
Eating and drinking are important aspects of the Cypriot culture - a little over-indulgence at a traditional Cypriot taverna is a must-do. And Cypriot-speciality halloumi is now found in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. Like many Greek dishes, you'll enjoy a combination of different items for everyone to share. Cypriot koupepia is one of Cyprus' unique offerings - stuffed vine leaves, normally filled with minced meat and rice. You'll also find a range of street food as well as all your international favourites dotted around.
Fresh fruit, dried and preserved, are Cypriot favourites, along with olives and nuts, which are frequently used in cooked dishes. There are a host of cuisines available in Cyprus, so you'll have a hard decision deciding on what to eat - Italian, French, Chinese, Arabic, Mexican, Russian, Thai, Lebanese, Indian, Japanese, the list is endless. For those sweet-loving foodies, you'll be thrilled wherever you go, with a wide choice of gelato, cakes, or cafés on offer, and Cypriot delights like daktyla, almond fried pastry, and mouth-watering soutzoukos made with almonds, walnuts and grape juice.
Holidays to Cyprus are a wise option year-round, offering the perfect climate for most from February to October - depending on your plans. Cyprus enjoys lovely long dry summers from May to October and experiences mild winter climates from December to February. While a Cyprus holiday is an excellent year-round choice for your European break, the best time to visit can be either side of the peak summer heat in May/June and September/October.
