City guides

Cyprus

Cyprus is where Greek mythology meets crystalline Mediterranean waters — Aphrodite's mythical birthplace, where ancient ruins (like the Tombs of the Kings and Kourion) sit just a short drive from buzzing beach towns and mountain wineries. The island's unique character comes from its Cypriot-Greek and Turkish influences, giving you two distinct cultures, languages, and cuisines to explore within a single destination. Whether you're after sun-soaked coasts, archaeological wonders, or traditional halloumi and Commandaria wine, Cyprus delivers that rare blend of history and laid-back island life.
