About Cyprus
Cyprus (Click here for photo gallery)
The captivating allure of an island with a beguiling year-round wonderful climate, the warm hand of friendship offered by its hospitable people, its beautiful beaches and bewitching coves, a breathtaking landscape steeped with traditional villages redolent of another age surrounded by vineyards, citrus groves and the ancient olive.
The island’s cultural heritage is the most important living treasure of its people. An island with historical footprints tracing over 10,000 years of legendary civilizations, yet embracing a cosmopolitan lifestyle the envy of so many.
Cyprus itself is a distinctive historical museum in which visitors and residents alike can travel through time and experience a unique cultural tableau composed of prehistoric settlements, ancient Greek temples, Byzantine temples with their exquisite mosaics and frescoes, Crusader castles, Gothic churches, Venetian forts, Turkish mosques and modern roads and infrastructure.
The island attracts visitors from many corners of the world, to wonder at the beauty of the land that is eager to unfold its secrets to those who like to search out ancient traditions, old civilizations and experience the island’s culture.
Today Cyprus enjoys full membership of the European Union, with an already well-developed infrastructure. From health-care to education, from transportation to service industries, from communications to motorway networks, the island provides everything expected from a contemporary society with sophisticated leisure and entertainment facilities.
This can only be one unsurpassed location – perhaps even at the very edge of heaven – it can only be Aphrodite’s island of Cyprus.
