Through its 11 millennia of recorded civilization Cyprus has been occupied and held by 17 different
Nations.
It is no mystery why everyone who has visited it through the centuries, wanted to claim a
piece of it. So sensual is this piece of land, laying lazily in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, that myth
puts Aphrodite goddess of beauty and sexuality being born on its shores.
Throughout Cyprus, the typically Mediterranean landscape varies with such richness and beauty.
With its beautiful mountains covered with cedars and olive trees and its golden sandy beaches kissed
by crystal waters, Cyprus captivates the senses.
Ruins from past times, from crusaders’ castles to Greco-Roman theatres
and temples honoring the Olympian gods, stand guarding testaments of
the land’s culture and allure, whereas the fast paced cities complete
this rich mosaic of natural beauty and modern life.
Lefkosia (Nicosia), rich in cultural events and cosmopolitan lifestyle;
Larnaka, site of the major international airport, Limassol, alive with
the ships that find refuge in one of the largest ports of the
Mediterranean and Pafos, proud of some of the finest resorts in this
area of the world.
In a few words Cyprus has welcomed great civilizations throughout history, why not let it welcome you as well.
