Cyprus

  • A rock formation called the love bridge on the Ayia Napa coastline

Graced with looks of mythological proportions and a lineage of complex east-meets-west puzzle parts; Cyprus is the fabled birthplace of Aphrodite, born from the rich foam of the sea.

Graced with looks of mythological proportions and a lineage of complex east-meets-west puzzle parts; Cyprus is the fabled birthplace of Aphrodite, born from the rich foam of the sea.

A classic beauty for R&R with a charming glint of curiosity in its eye, Cyprus is adored by both sun seekers captivated by its heavenly beaches below rugged hills and heritage junkies resolved in their hunt for traditional villages, medieval castles and impressive ancient sites nestled within verdant landscapes. Inland, the remote valleys of the Troodos Mountains beckon, with frescoed monasteries strung out amongst the pine forests.

While the Akamas peninsula is splashed with the vibrant colours of orange trees, flowers, fruit and fauna – Aphrodite’s bewitching spirit is truly alive and well here.

Neither Greek nor Turkish, this island has its own distinct and lovable identity. Everywhere, the past mingles with the present and there’s a tangible sense of being at a cultural crossroads. Ancient city, Kourion, is home to a Greek-Roman temple built into a bluff overlooking the Mediterranean, and the impressive mosaics of the Houses of Dionysus, Theseus, Orpheus and Arion in Paphos relay stories of a colourful past. Meanwhile, village squares are filled with the chattering of exuberant locals. Ladies robed in black and groups of men engaged in lively games of cards, the Cypriot spirit thrives in ‘kafeneias’ where mezes of olives, tzatziki, taramasalata and grilled halloumi are generously shared.

Aphrodite’s bewitching spirit is truly alive and well here.
