Cyprus Hotels Allow You to Sample a Slice of Island Life
Some people visit Cyprus visit for the wide stretches of beach that yawn into the azure sea, others come for the fine wine and excellent cuisine, but every visitor comes away with amazing memories. Located off the coasts of Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, Cyprus offers a mix of Western and Eastern cultures.
Many flock to see the beautiful ruins, including mosaics, castles and breath-taking churches. There’s something suitable for every budget with Cyprus hotels, so you’re not going to struggle to find beautiful accommodation.
What to See
There are plenty of attractions on the island for those who want to do more than lazing on Cyprus’ beaches. With Cyprus’ 10,000 years of history, comes a lot of historical relics and sites, especially in the island’s capital – Nicosia, with its Venetian wall with three gates. Explore the heavily forested Troodoos Mountains where visitors can enjoy skiing in the winter months and hiking throughout the rest of the year. It is not just the forest that visitors will see, as the Troodoos area is also populated with historic monasteries and churches. For those who like shopping then a trip to the village of Lefkara is well worth while, for its lace and silver handicrafts.
What to Do
For families looking for some beach action The Lady’s Mile Beach, which is a long stretch of golden sand is perfect. Many Cyprus hotels offer an array of water sports, including water skiing, windsurfing, snorkelling and diving. Clubbers can party in the city of Agia Napa, which enjoys a reputation as a thriving nightclub area.
Where to Stay
There are many amazing places in Cyprus and you’ll be spoilt for choice with how much there is on offer, especially with the range of deals on the beautiful Cyprus hotels available. Visit the cosmopolitan Limassol, where the Knights Templar, Richard the Lionheart and many others have all featured in its surrounding history. But it’s not all about history, as the locals also have a reputation for knowing how to party. There is also the gateway to Cyrprus, otherwise known as Larnaca, which has both a busy port and international airport. Larana is the ideal destination as it has bright beaches, with a dazzling sea, which coupled with its historical sightseeing, is great for everyone to visit.
