Cyprus:
Cyprus is an enchanting island, rich in history and tradition. The hot Mediterranean sunshine beats down on a range of sophisticated resorts and fascinating towns, whilst warming the clear waters that lap the beaches and secluded coves. Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, was borne up from the waves at Paphos - she could not have chosen a more magical location than this. This vibrant island on the crossroads of the Eastern Mediterranean, between Europe and Asia, thrills and delights its visitors in many different ways. Long stretches of coastline are backed by cool pine forests, whilst spectacular ancient ruins bathe in the endless sunshine. Idyllic beaches and a host of modern facilities clamour to aid your relaxation.
Eating Out:
Cyprus is a foodlover's paradise where Greek dishes are fused with Middle Eastern influences. Try delicious 'moussaka', with aubergines, potatoes and mince or hearty 'kleftiko', with lamb and Mediterranean vegetables. A traditional Cypriot 'meze', a full meal consisting of some 14 different dishes, includes halloumi cheese, juicy olives and stuffed tomatoes. You'll find locally produced fruit, such as strawberries, apricots, nectarines and peaches, are ripe, flavoursome and dripping with delectable juices. The harbourside restaurants next to the Venetian castle in Paphos are one of the most romantic spots for dining, serving fresh seafood followed by mouthwatering pastries. Cypriot wines, especially the sweet ones, are so good they are commonly exported. Paphos also has an abundance of International restaurants for you to enjoy during your stay, Check the Welcome File and Guest Book for recommendations from previous guests.
