About Cyprus

KOPIASTE…

Cyprus is an island of a unique blend of past and future…

…WELCOME!

Cyprus, although a small country, has a rich cultural heritage, which is evident from the vast number of ancient monuments and sites, castles and forts around the island.

The antiquities of Pafos, the Neolithic Settlements of Choirokoitia, as well as nine Byzantine Churches from the Troodos region are included in the official World Cultural Heritage list, thereby endorsing their importance.

Cyprus becomes more and more popular every year. To some people it is an old favourite; to others making a first visit, it is a delightful discovery.

The weather is fantastic, the scenery stunning, with some glorious beaches, the nightlife is excellent and Cypriots even drive on the left and speak English. Cyprus is now one of the more sophisticated islands in the Mediterranean, attracting tourists from all over the world who come not only for the sunshine but also to see its many historic sights. The remnants of many past civilisations can be seen here and legends and myths abound, while nature lovers can delight in the island’s beauty from the varied scenery of its coastline to the pine-clad hills of the interior.



The various publications and leaflets, available free of charge in the Cyprus Tourism Organisation offices, contain a variety of useful information on Cyprus.
