A Unique Holiday Destination, visit Cyprus

Away from the commercial centres, Cyprus offers unparalleled coastlines - miles of un-spoilt coastline, the majestic Mount Olympus in the Troodos mountain range, historical sites and innumerable places of interest to visit. Add to this, a year round climate which offers fantastic summer sun, a mild winter in which people still hold regular outdoor barbeques and an opportunity for people of all ages to participate in a wide range of round the year activities from walking, skiing, climbing, cycling, through to water sports, golf courses, sailing and simply relaxing and taking life easy.

Cyprus is tucked away in the top right hand corner of the Mediterranean and is so close to Europe, Asia and Africa that it rightly, claims to be a stepping stone to all three continents.

As the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily and Sardinia, situated in the eastern Mediterranean, south of the Anatolian Peninsula of the Asia mainland, Cyprus is commonly included in the Middle East. Seventy-five kilometres to the north you find Turkey, with Syria and Lebanon to the east, Israel to the southeast, Egypt to the South and Greece to the West-North-West. Politically and culturally however Cyprus is closely aligned with Europe.

The Capital City, Nicosia is located in the centre of the island. All the other major cities are situated on the coast.

Cyprus has a typical Mediterranean climate - warm and dry with little rainfall between November and March. The island experiences mild wet winters and dry hot summers. The high mountain areas are cooler and moister than the remainder of the island.

Average Air Temperature in Cyprus ranges from approximately 16.6 degrees (62 degrees Fahrenheit) Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) and Sea Temperature range from approximately 16 degrees Celsius (61 degrees Fahrenheit) to 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit)

The gentle country offers a historical journey dating back over 10,000 years and is teeming with interesting museums, religious and historical sites. After all Alexander the Great and Richard the Lion heart ruled the country, and it is also legend that Aphrodite herself was born here.

Cypriots are open, frank and friendly people. They are among the most hospitable people on earth, always making you feel at home on the island.
