Cyprus

Long summers, legends & easy-going beaches

Overview

Cyprus has one of the longest summers in the Mediterranean, so it’s a great choice for late-season sun as well as the summer holidays.

English is widely spoken and you drive on the left, which makes exploring easy. Paphos is full of history, from Roman mosaics to Aphrodite’s Rock, while Protaras and Ayia Napa have some of the island’s best sandy beaches. Inland, the Troodos Mountains offer cool villages and wineries.
