What to see in Cyprus?
Though popular for its beaches and island way of life, Cyprus has a rich and glorious history to itself which is evident in its many archaeological sites, fine Byzantine churches, monasteries, and museums. - Every region in Cyprus has something unique to offer and is different in its own way.
- Larnaca, one of the oldest cities in Cyprus is a mix of sandy beaches and old architecture. It has a modern and vibrant city vibe. Ayia Napa and Protaras on the Eastern side of the country is famous for its beach life and clubbing. Most of the best beaches in the country like Sunrise Beach, Nissi Beach, Konnos Bay, Makronissos Beach and Fig Tree/Sunrise Beach are in this region. There are plenty of hiking spots as well if you ever get tired of partying and sunbathing.
- Head west and there is the city of Paphos riddled with ancient ruins going back more than 2000 years. Coral Bay is a popular beach in the region. Paphos has an urban vibe around it with all its funky cafes and chic boutiques.
- The capital city of Nicosia has a lot to offer to anyone interested in the history and current political scenario of Cyprus. The Paphos Gate, Cyprus Museum, Leventis Museum, The Green line, and Phaneromenis Church are some of the must-visit attractions in the city. You could also indulge in some street shopping at Ledra and take a walking tour along the Turkish occupied part of Nicosia. And when you have had enough of the Cyprus summer heat, you can head to the Troodos Mountains for a cool respite. Dozens of old villages hardly changed in centuries are nestled in the foothills of the Troodos. Cyprus is also known as the land of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek Goddess of Love and Beauty who is believed to have born and lived here. People often take the Aphrodite Tour that follows the footsteps of Aphrodite through a number of archaeological sites like Palaipafos, Amathous and Kition to learn more on her mythology and cult.
