Cyprus
the most easterly, the third largest and some say, the most beautiful island in
the Mediterranean, enjoys the best sunshine record of all the islands, with some
340 days of sun each year.
Cyprus is an island of great scenic beauty with pine clad mountains rising up to
6,500 feet above gentle valleys and orchards, where watermelons, vines, oranges,
figs and pomegranates grow.
The island lies at the cross-roads of Europe, Asia and Africa and has over the
ages come under the influence of all these cultures.
Today's visitors can still admire the remains of awe-inspiring palaces, temples
and fortresses built by Romans, Venetians and Crusaders. Apart from its wealth
of history, the island offers a host of natural beauties. Glistening sun warmed
beaches, punctuated by sheltered rocky coves fringe the crystal clear sea, and
in-land cool pine forests cover the lower slopes of the snow-capped Troodos
mountains.
The
Cypriot people are very hospitable, you are a friend, a guest on the island,
they will love you and extend their hospitability to you as though you have been
friends forever - which is probably why so many people return year after year.
There are many reasons why you should choose Cyprus as your next destination for
a successful holiday; the excellent standard of accommodation, complemented by a
host of facilities and highly efficient service; the island enjoys an
incomparable status in the eastern Mediterranean. The British are especially
welcomed since there is a strong British influence - most Cypriots speak
excellent English, driving is on the left and road signs are in both Greek and
English.
Whether you are the traveller or sun worshipper we believe you will leave
Cyprus with many cherished memories and will want to return.
