Cyprus

A sunny island nation in the eastern Mediterranean, where ancient sites, beaches and mountain villages combine, making it a year-round holiday destination.

Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean, shaped historically by many civilizations, including Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman. The archaeological sites of Paphos and the painted churches of the Troodos Mountains are both World Heritage Sites; Limassol, Larnaca and Ayia Napa are among the many beach destinations; and the capital, Nicosia, is a divided city. Since 1974 the north of the island has been under Turkish Cypriot control, with crossing points between north and south. Spring and autumn bring the most pleasant weather, while the hot summers suit beach holidays. The main gateways are Larnaca and Paphos international airports.
