Perched on the tip of the Greek mainland, Cyprus is a popular destination for visitors from all over the world. With its diverse geography, friendly people, and abundance of natural wonders, visiting Cyprus offers something for everyone.

People come to Cyprus for many different reasons. Some visit the cities, including Larnaca and Limassol, while others want to explore the countryside by visiting towns like Paphos and Kyrenia. Either way, you’ll find that there’s plenty to see and do in Cyprus.

One of the best things about visiting Cyprus is that it’s so easy to travel from one region to another. If you have time for a little exploring, you can take a stop in Nicosia or Troodos Mountains National Park before heading on your way.

In terms of cost, traveling to Cyprus is surprisingly affordable with many budget-friendly accommodations available around the country. For example, a night in an inexpensive hotel room in Paphos would cost about $40 per night. Transportation throughout Cyprus is also inexpensive as buses go where trains cannot at a rate of just two Euros per ride! And if you’re craving some delicious food while visiting Cyprus, you won’t regret feasting on authentic Cypriot cuisine made up of fresh vegetables and seafood dishes prepared in olive oil.

There is a time for everyone to visit Cyprus. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, the best time of year to visit Cyprus is during the winter. The warmer months are perfect for families and those looking for relaxation. Lastly, it’s important to note that many tourists choose to come in the summertime, which can be quite hot and humid.

Cyprus is made up of two main regions: the Greek Cypriot mainland and the Turkish Cypriot North, which is not recognized by the United Nations. The Turkish Cypriots control 36% of Cyprus’s territory.

For tourists, the best part of Cyprus to visit is the island’s south-western region, which includes cities like Paphos and Larnaca. This region offers some of the most popular attractions on Cyprus, including a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kyrenia and a beautiful medieval castle in Buffavento. It’s home to some of Cyprus’s finest beaches, such as Protaras Beach and Ayia Napa Beach. If you’re looking for nightlife and entertainment, this region has plenty of options to choose from.

If luxury is your thing, then you should visit Paphos or Larnaca in the southwest coast of Cyprus. Both towns offer stunning resorts with private pools, spas, restaurants, bars and more. If you want to experience all that Cyprus has to offer without breaking your bank account then head north through Kyrenia into Nicosia for museums and historic buildings at bargain prices.

The best time to visit Cyprus is from April to September. This is the dry season and it’s when many of the outdoor activities are more accessible.

We recommend visiting the capital city of Nicosia, which is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site with some beautiful old architecture and landmarks.

In terms of places to see outside of Nicosia, we recommend taking a day trip to Paphos. This ancient city contains an amphitheater, Roman ruins, and centuries-old cobblestone streets.

Cyprus also has some great beaches outside of the capital city that are well worth visiting if you want an escape from the urban hustle and bustle. Our favorite beach is probably Cape Greco Beach on the southwest coast near Limassol.

If you have a car during your stay in Cyprus, we recommend taking a day trip up to Troodos mountain range for some amazing views or hiking through its natural landscapes. You can also take a cable car ride up for even more amazing views!

There’s always something to do in Cyprus. Visiting the capital Valletta is a wonderful way to experience some of the country’s rich history. The recently restored city is packed with historic landmarks, such as St. John’s Cathedral, Auberge d’Auvergne, and the Grandmaster’s Palace, that are sure to fill up most of your day.

For those who want a more active vacation, there are plenty of outdoor pursuits available. Hiking through one of Cyprus’ national parks will lead you on scenic paths where you can spot unique wildlife like eagles or wild boar before taking a dip in the sea at sandy beaches like Kato Paphos or Coral Bay. If you enjoy water sports and scuba diving, then this is also a wonderful destination for you!

If relaxation is what you need while visiting Cyprus, then head to one of the many spas on the island. These spots offer treatments like massages and facials that are guaranteed to de-stress in no time at all!

Cyprus is one of the most intriguing and intriguing destinations in the Mediterranean. It has a rich history, is steeped in culture and offers some of the most diverse landscapes in the region.

Along the way there are a few things to keep in mind. For example, the island is a lot more conservative than other destinations in Europe, so it is best to dress modestly when visiting. You will also want to make sure to brush up on your Cyprus speak before you get there because English is not widely spoken.
