Kataklysmos - The Cyprus Water Festival

The Cyprus coastline will soon be transformed into a hive of activity as Cyprus celebrates the Kataklysmos festival, a unique Cypriot celebration; which means festival of the flood. This year the Kataklysmos festival; commonly known to foreigners as the water festival, will be celebrated from 22^nd May 2010 and the festival will continue for the whole weekend. Dancing, singing, great food, competitions and fantastic entertainment fills the whole weekend in Ayia Napa, Protaras and other coastal towns. If you don't want to miss out on this fun packed festive time book your Protaras Private holiday villa accommodation or rental apartment in Protaras so you can watch this spectacular event. Visit our website today and book now your Private Protaras villa or self catering Protaras apartment. Legend has it that flood wiped out almost all living creatures except Noah's Ark and its contents to give birth to a new pure generation. Also it is believed that ceremonies are held in honour of Aphrodite and Adonis. Traditionally the holiday was celebrated by Cypriots at the beach of Ammochostos and the celebrations would fall on the Pentecost Sunday and on the Monday of the Holy Spirit. Nowadays the celebrations occur in all the major coastal resorts, Agia Napa, Protaras Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Polis. Depending on the town the celebrations could sometimes be extended into the next week. Go online today and check out some of our fantastic Protaras rental properties or Ayia Napa villas to rent so you can enjoy the celebrations. The festival starts with an ecclesiastical ceremony. Then a priest throws a cross into the sea and a diver recovers it. He is blessed and is given a sovereign, and then the festivities continue with swimming competitions, traditional dance and song. Purification of body and soul is symbolised by a dousing of water so don't be surprised if you are the victim of a water spurt from a water gun as you stroll along Protaras Avenue or along the coast of Ayia Napa.

Protaras and Ayia Napa will stage concerts and games near the waterfront close to the golden beach of Fig Tree Bay, over a three-day period. The celebrations include traditional dances, water sports displays and competitions as well as concerts by well-known artists. Fig Tree Bay in Protaras has held some fantastic celebrations over the years including live concerts and fireworks with famous singers. Don't miss out on the concert and festivities this year which will be held in Protaras, with a live concert at Fig Tree Bay Protaras on the Sunday after the amazing fireworks display at 9:00pm.

Ayia Napa - the most popular Cyprus beach resort

Imagine a dream Cyprus holiday in a private, self-catering holiday apartment or villa, and Ayia Napa is top of the list. Why? Because Ayia Napa has it all...

Few seaside beach resorts are as accessible as Ayia Napa and it is only 20 minutes from Larnaca International airport. Once you've reached your villa or apartment holiday accommodation, the beach fun for families and couples is at your fingertips.

Visitors from around the world have transformed Ayia Napa into a cosmopolitan centre running along some of the island's most attractive beaches: sugary sands, the clear sea, shallow and safe ‘Blue Flag' beaches and water sports for every temperament, choose from a laid-back pedalo ride to bungee jumping close to Nissi beach.

The international flavour extends to Ayia Napa's dining outlets, with everything from local tavernas to American fast food chains alternating with Asian cuisine, Italian favourites, Irish pubs and much more...

Whether you intend to shop or not it is unthinkable that you will leave Ayia Napa without taking home several bargains. Browse the shops with their abundant stock of souvenir trinkets to precious jewellery, giveaway flip-flops to boutique wear.

The village square around the Monastery is at the heart of the resort of Ayia Napa, and - depending on the season - the scene of festivals, street artists, live music or you may simply prefer a casual stroll in the sun.

Nobody should miss the chance to visit Ayia Napa, if only once to experience it's distinctive, bubbling atmosphere. So when you're ready to set your holiday dates, check out My Property Cyprus for the best value in self-catering holiday rental apartments or luxurious villas in the best locations.

Protaras – the coastal paradise for self-catering holiday accommodation

Often said in the same breath as Ayia Napa, Protaras is like a smaller model of neighbouring village of Ayia Napa, only a few minutes drive or bus ride away from it and about 30 minutes from the International Airport of Larnaca.

Though it echoes the holiday fun of Ayia Napa, Protaras offers you the distinct advantages of its setting: the sweeping beaches, golden sands and water sports of Fig Tree Bay, the hidden seclusion of the tiny coves, and the perfect balance of tranquility and resort activity, for you to mix and match according to taste.

Dotted with self-catering holiday apartments and luxurious villas, Protaras is surrounded with quaint villages with their local churches, coffee shops and cultivated fields that reflect the essence of rural life in Cyprus - all minutes away from the full-scale tourist core of the resort.

Protaras is also the gateway to Cape Greco, an unspoiled extract from heaven. Walking paths crisscross a landscape where rich endemic vegetation meets Mediterranean glitter to create images that even the best holiday snapshots cannot fully capture.

To optimize your Protaras holiday experience - carefree seaside leisure day by day - nothing can compete with the freedom and privacy of self-catering holiday apartments or villas. And nobody offers a bigger variety and greater value than My Property Cyprus. To choose your favourite self-catering holiday apartment or villa, simply click here.

Rent a holiday Villa & Scuba Dive in Cyprus in the Winter

For most of Europe it's the winter months but this does not mean we need to hibernate. Just because the beaches are not lined with thousands of holiday makers bronzing in the sunshine does not mean that you cannot have a winter vacation and try something adventurous. Cyprus is renowned for having some of the safest waters in the world and combined with the mild temperatures makes the island a perfect destination for most people who want to learn to dive. It is also a popular place for experienced divers who want to visit some of the top ten diving destinations in the world one of which is the world famous Zenobia wreck. Many tourists during their holidays want to experience the dive sensation and then progress by taking their open water courses enabling them to dive the world wide waters qualified and with diving experience under their belt. Before the summer season kicks back into action and you fancy experiencing scuba diving or even taking a course at your own pace and want to avoid the summer rush, now is the time to book. My Property Cyprus can arrange a self catering holiday villa or self catering holiday apartment on the east coast of Cyprus in the Ayia Napa and Protaras area and introduce you to reputable diving schools with qualified instructors.

Some useful information has been provided by a dive instructor who lives and has worked in Cyprus for the last 6 years.

So, the summer season is over, the Shorty suits have been stored away ready for next year. This does not mean that your diving has to stop. Cyprus waters at worst come down to a low of 17 degrees; this is the lowest temperature I have recorded on my computer. Visibility in the winter months, is most of the time the same as in the summer. The qualified divers amongst you will know that visibility is affected by the rain and winds, obviously if the weather is too bad then we cannot dive. I have dived at Stoney Cove in Leicester in November with the water temperature as low as 3 degrees and visibility at about 5 meters. If we can do it in the UK then the Mediterranean waters are very welcoming.

One of the things that attract divers to Cyprus is the chance to dive the world famous Zenobia Wreck. The wreck is situated off the coast of Larnaca, resting in 42 meters of water on her port side. She is listed as one of the top ten wrecks worldwide. The 172 meter Swedish roll-on, roll-off ferry sank on its maiden voyage from Syria in 1980 after problems with her computer controlled ballast. She is fully laden with 108 Volvo trucks and trailers lying in tact on the lorry deck. The catamaran that moors directly over the wreck sails two to three times a week, weather permitting. Obviously, the boat and wreck itself is a lot quieter in the winter months allowing you the added benefit of seeing fewer divers on the wreck.

Locally, in the Famagusta area we have numerous sites for you to dive. Do not let the fact that it is winter deter you from getting wet.

THE CYPRUS WATERS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!!!

So if you want to try something new and take a course in scuba diving or add another entry in your dive log and dive one of the top dive sites in the world then book a villa or apartment today and My Property Cyprus will put you in touch with our recommended dive schools

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.
