Sink your toes into warm sand, feel the sun on your skin and look out over the sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea.  Nothing beats Cyprus! There are a wealth of beaches to choose from, from fine white sandy beaches to deep bays with rocky outcrops perfect for diving or snorkelling.

Long stretches of coastline lend themselves to leisurely strolls, whilst secluded coves beckon when you want to be alone.  From the quiet backwaters of the Western peninsula to the lively resorts, the island has something for everyone.  Alternatively, just lie back and enjoy Cyprus' magical evenings, gazing at the stars through clear skies.

Taste one of the oldest wines in the world. Walk in the pine-scented forests or ski on the snowy peaks. Wonder at Greek Temples, Byzantine churches and ancient artefacts thousands of years old.

Play a round of golf, go cycling or hiking around the countryside or take up a new sport.  Look beyond the sun and the sea.  In Cyprus there is much to enjoy, see and do.  It is a whole world condensed into a much smaller area, experience it all!
