Cyprus  Cyprus is the third largest and eastern most island in the Mediterranean and commands a strategic position at the cross roads of three continents (Europe, Asia and Africa). An island of many possibilities, it is a sun worshippers delight, a sportsman's playground, a bird watchers delight, an archaeological heaven and a photographers dream. Only a few hours flight from most European airports and boasting a wealth of high end villa accommodation the island is fast growing in popularity. It is not surprising that Cyprus' history is steeped with settlers and conquerors who have left their indelible stamp on the islands sun drenched landscape. With Greek columns, Hellenistic theatres, Roman mosaics, Byzantine churches with fantastic frescoes, Gothic monuments, Venetian walls, Turkish baths and mosques, as well as a British Road system, Cyprus has all the delights and wonders imaginable for such a colourful past. This beautiful island is characterised by considerable diversity of scenery, ranging from the flat central plains of Mesaoria, and the costal plains of Kyrenia, Larnaka, Limassol, Pafos, and Chrysochou, which are a few meters above sea level, to lofty mountainous areas such as Troodos and the Kyrenia Range (Pentadactylos), reaching the heights of over 1900 meters, giving glorious panoramic views. There are six major towns Nicosia, the capital situated inland in the middle of the Mesaoria plain, and the 5 coastal towns of Limassol, Larnaka, Pafos, Kyrenia and Famagusta. The latter two, in the north and east respectively, have been under Turkish occupation since 1974 and are accessible to visitors via organised coach tours. Cyprus is a country of beauty and contrasts, where you can enjoy the fabulous sunshine on the beautiful unspoilt sandy beaches or the pleasant breeze in the cool cedar forests. Choose between the bustle of towns or the tranquillity of villages, both the old and the new. The climate of Cyprus never fails to delight visitors, and every season has a charm and beauty of its own. In summer, sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters beckon swimmers and provide the perfect conditions for sailing, diving and snorkelling as well as a host of other water sports. Cyprus was an island chosen by the mythical gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece who indulged themselves there in sport pleasure and tragedy. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, emerged from the Pafos foam to become a famous cult figure - centre of attraction for the first visitors who flocked to the island to worship her.
