Why
Cyprus?
Cyprus
is an island of legends that basks year-round in the light
of the warm Mediterranean sun. A storied past 10,000 years
long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone
from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here
- but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with
such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travelers
throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.
Today
Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries European
culture with ancient enchantment. Here you will discover
a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain
peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins
that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages
where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local
café. A carefree place where a sense of timelessness
is magnified by the kindness of the people.
Cyprus
enjoys approximately 340 sunny days per year, the hottest
months are July and August and hotels are fully open during
months of April October, whereas some close November
March.
The wettest months are December February. You should
step inside Cyprus for an in-depth look at an island that
is as exotic as you imagine and more accessible than you might
think, with her people's warmest hospitality ever.
Why
Pafos?
Pafos
is located on the southwest coast, ranks as one of Cyprus
most popular resorts combining a wealth of ancient sites,
excellent property and plenty of local flavor. Compared to
other seaside towns like Limassol, Pafos exudes a much slower
pace of life and has always been particularly popular with
UK visitors, many of which form part of the permanent local
population.
There is plenty to explore and for superb beaches, Coral Bay
a 15 minutes drive from Pafos ranks as one of the best in
the area. There are two nearby golf courses and plenty of
sporting facilities and for the evenings there are a multitude
of restaurants to choose from.
Pafos
is actually made up of two twin-towns. High on the hilltop,
Ktima is a typical large town with thriving local shops, taverns,
interesting buildings, churches and museums. In contrast ,Kato
Pafos is the tourist area, which has developed by the waterfront
providing visitors and residents with a very long promenade
lined with excellent hotels and accommodation positioned either
right by the sea or just across the road in between masses
of shops and tavernas. Side streets too are packed with bars,
discos, clubs, restaurants and more shops, all patronised
by locals and tourists alike.
