Cyprus may be a small country, but it's a large island - the third largest in the Mediterranean. And it's an island with a big heart - an island that gives its visitors a genuine welcome and treats them as friends.

With its spectacular scenery and enviable climate, it's no wonder that Aphrodite chose the island as her playground, and since then, mere mortals have been discovering this 'land fit for Gods' for themselves.

Cyprus is an island of beauty and a country of contrasts. Cool, pine-clad mountains are a complete scene-change after golden sun-kissed beaches; tranquil, timeless villages are in striking contrast to modern cosmopolitan towns; luxurious beachside hotels can be exchanged for large areas of natural, unspoilt countryside; yet in Cyprus all distances are easily manageable, mostly on modern roads and highways - with a secondary route or two for the more adventurous.

cypus is a very sunny and picturesqe island.There is alot of history on ownership of the island.There are quite a few places of interest from natural beaty like aphrodites baths to the ancient outdoor theatres.THe beaches are ideal for children as there are alot of shallow beach coves with white sand and clear seas.We stayed in Protaras which is 20 minutes away from lively Aya Napa,but it was peaceful and relaxing.
The food was well cooked and plenty of it,especially the cypriot meze which is upto 33 dishes!
