The Magical Island of Eternal
Beauty A visit to Cyprus promises to forever capture your heart. It's true, you really will fall in love! Secluded coves, crystal clear waters, breathtaking scenery and some of the friendliest people in the world, all add up to the ideal holiday destination. Add this to superb golf courses, unspoilt mountain villages and archaeological sites from Neolithic to Byzantine, you will wonder why you didn't come sooner! With an enviable climate you too can follow in the footsteps of Aphrodite and be charmed forever... |
| Where to go... Along the south coast are fine sandy beaches, first class restaurants and a lively nightlife. Inland, you can discover an entirely different style - the age old peasant culture led by the village priest and mukhtari (head man) where little has changed for generations. Skiing is available on Mount Olympus during the winter months. After the first rains, the countryside becomes green and fresh again and soon a profusion of flowers emerge. |

The Food... A unique blend drawn from sources all around the Eastern Mediterranean, there is a variety not quite found elsewhere. Cyprus salads and fruit are excellent with meat dishes such delicious Klefitico (tender lamb) and there are many vegetarian dishes cooked with olive oil , tomato, local herbs and spices. At some stage, you must try 'meze' - a feast of up to 30 small dishes of just about everything in the kitchen. |
| The Wine... Cyprus has been exporting wine since the days of Homer and you will find a wide selection able to compare with the best from the Eastern Med. Prices are reasonable, so keep sampling until you find your favourite. The local brandy is also very good and brandy sour is a popular refreshing drink. |
