Coral Bay:
This is an increasingly
popular resort, with shops and restaurants
on the approach road and water-sports
facilities on the beach. The sands are clean
and pleasant and is situated as the name
suggest in a bay, so idea for children to
play in.
The pink sand like deposits along the shoreline is actually coral.
The beach here
is fantastic and has been awarded for its cleanliness, the long sandy
bay has a headland at both ends and there are plenty of water sports to
try. There is also a nesting spot for turtles close by at Cape Lara. The
sea here stays warm enough to bathe until early December.

Kykkos Monastery:
At the top of
Troodos mountain about 1318 m high, in the north west of Troodos, stands
the richest and most splendid monastery in Cyprus, Kykkos Monastery.
Kykkos was founded in the 11th century but unfortunately it has been
burned down several times and there are no reminders of the original
building, in contrast to the other Cypriot monasteries.
This is a real gem and well
worth the trip.

Churches & Shrines:
There are many churches & shrines to be found all over Cyprus, many date
back thousands of years. Some are popular tourist attractions but there
are many tucked away in unknown villages and up on Mount Troodos just
waiting for you to find them. |

Adonis Falls:
Only 20 minutes from Coral
Bay, although a rather nail-biting drive!
From Coral Bay there are plenty of homemade
signs showing the way to the Falls. Once
there you will find two ice cool pools,
along with a stunning waterfall. If you stay
until early evening you will quite often
find some young locals jumping or even
diving from great heights. |

Paphos:
Paphos has some serious historical clout. there are
the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set
high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as
a Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known
as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. the
beautiful old harbour with it's modern hotels and
restaurants stretching along the promenade is a
wonderful place to relax and enjoy the daytime
sunshine or the evening spectacular
sunsets.

Ayia Napa:
Ayia Napa has been transformed from a sleepy
fishing village into a lively resort that
has something for all ages and contrary to
popular belief, this cosmopolitan town isn't
all about bars and clubs for the younger
generations. If you look closer you will
discover that Ayia Napa is full of history
and tradition,
The centre of the town is built around a medieval
monastery. Surprisingly this has been well preserved over the many
centuries and a visit here is like stepping back in time. |

Ruins at Temple of Apollo:
Looking out over
the Mediterranean from its cliff top, Kourion is the most spectacularly
located ancient site in Cyprus. First settled by the fierce Mycenaeans,
the city reached its apogee in Roman times, as evidenced by remnants of
the empire such as its great stadium, theatre and lavish public baths.
As in many of Cyprus’s greatest ancient cities, the cults of Aphrodite
and Apollo thrived here, and both of these Hellenistic deities have
shrines here. |
 |
The Aphrodite Water Park:
The largest of the suburban villages,
Geroskipou borders the east of Paphos but
retains its own village identity. Known for
its arts and crafts, particularly pottery,
Geroskipou also has one of the best Folk Art
Museums on the island. A short distance
south from its central square and park is a
pebble/sandy beach, the Aphrodite Water
Park, go-karting, mini-golf, five-a-side
football pitch and amusement (lunar) park.

Beaches: There are
some fabulous beaches to explore all around the island, with caves and
bays. You will always find the clear blue sea of the Mediterranean
wherever you go. |
 |
Boat day cruises and fishing
trips: You will find these
trips advertised along the harbour at Paphos. They range from sheer lazy
day cruises including swimming in the med, cruises to places of interest
and full day fishing trips. |
 |
Troodos Mountains:
shaded from
the heat of the sun amongst thick pine forests, the scent of the pine is
phenomenal, where fresh mountain streams pour downwards to hillsides
terraced with vineyards. You eventually reach the summit of Mount
Olympus (1951m) where you can ski December-March. There are also a variety of nature trails
that lead through dramatic and unspoilt landscapes, and
reveal a catalogue of flora and fauna as a constant
series of pictures opens up around each corner. There is
always something new to discover on Troodos, be it a Monastery, a
vineyard or a simple rural farmhouse, whatever you discover it's always
breathtaking. Click here for
