AREA GUIDE - CYPRUS
‘The Island Of Love’
Welcome to Cyprus, an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. A storied past 10,000 years long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here - but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travellers throughout the ages came here just to pay her tribute.
Today Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries European culture with ancient enchantment. Cyprus is the third largest Mediterranean island after Sicily and Sardinia. It has a population of circa 750,000 with an area of 9.251 sq. km. The history of the island dates back to the Neolithic Age. Historical and archaeologically valuable sites are only a few kilometres away from modern cities. Cyprus is a fascinating mosaic of time combining the old with the new. Here you will discover a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local cafe. Cyprus is a carefree place where a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness of the people.
