Cyprus - Island of Aphrodite

Cyprus is known as Aphrodites Island because according to Greek mythology, this is where the goddess of love was born.

Anyone wanting blue skies and sunshine will certainly love all that Cyprus has to offer.

For sunseekers, Cyprus has miles of beautiful coastline with sandy beaches, good watersports and modern beach resorts.

Away from the coastline the landscape changes, rising to the Troodos Mountains, where the cool air is fragranced with eucalyptus and pine.

Many an hour can be spent here, either exploring the churches and monasteries or just enjoying the outstanding beauty of the region.

Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus.

It is the administrative and financial hub of the island as well as home to several universities & colleges.

It also hosts most foreign embassies and offshore companies. The city has a truly cosmopolitan feeling.

The old City has many museums and churches.

It's a lovely place to enjoy a cypriot coffee or to have a walk around the shops.
