Cyprus is an island of contrasts with its pristine white-sand beaches, dramatic Troodos Mountains, coastal resorts with pulsating nightlife, traditional mountain villages, medieval castles and a wealth of ancient historic sites. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is packed with fine restaurants, art galleries and museums. A holiday in Cyprus is often based along the south coast of the island in one of the popular beach resorts, such as Limassol, Paphos, Ayia Napa and Larnaca.

Set on the south coast of the island, the seaside town of Limassol is known for its Cypriot character, with traditional tavernas, relaxed bars, charming marina and good selection of beaches. Paphos, a firm British favourite, boasts fine sandy beaches, a wealth of water sports and lively nightlife. In contrast, the atmospheric Paphos old town is dotted with traditional tavernas and narrow streets. Ayia Napa is renowned for its thumping nightlife with live music, big-name DJs, karaoke, and pulsating discos and nightclubs. Larnaca features a 400-berth marina with luxury yachts, sandy beaches, archaeological sites, and a picturesque palm-lined promenade.

Holidays in Cyprus offer a wide choice of excursions. On the unspoilt west coast lies the Akamas Peninsula, which is particularly popular with outdoor enthusiasts for its spectacular landscape combining lush valleys and dramatic rock formations. The old quarter of Kyrenia, a resort on the north coast, is well worth a visit for its Venetian architecture, ancient castle, and quaint street cafes. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Paphos, the birthplace of Aphrodite, boasts a wealth of ancient historic sites, such as the Tomb of the Kinds, the Baths of Aphrodite, and the House of Dionysus.
