Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of Love, rose from the waves on the southern coast of Cyprus... Situated on the crossroads of the sea routes between Europe, Asia and Africa, Cyprus was bound to seduce all kinds of visitors and conquerors. Over the centuries, this small island was coveted by the Persians, the Egyptians, the Byzantines, the Romans, the Ottomans, the Venetians, the Greeks and the English... Each occupier left traces that are at the origin of a particularly rich culture. With such a past, Cyprus was destined to become a very special country, different from any other.

To this rich history should be added the island’s natural beauty, its jagged coastline dotted with beautiful beaches that are never overcrowded, its rolling hills, its forest-covered mountains, its villages whose inhabitants have kept the custom of hospitality according to a tradition that has been passed on from one generation to the next, a hospitality that reserves its true sense of PHILOXENIA, friendship towards strangers.

All this makes Cyprus a holiday paradise. Discover this island which is considered to be "the place where the gods spend their holidays"... Click here to find out more
