Cyprus
Cyprus is the third largest island in the
Mediterranean and lies on the crossroads of the three
continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. There are over
300 days of sunshine a year, making this one of the
healthiest climates in the world.
The history of the island goes back over 9000
years. Due to its strategic position, many conquerors
have used Cyprus as a base, and the archaeological
sites such as mosaics, castles and ancient theatres
found all over Cyprus bear witness to its rich and
varied history.
The hospitality of the Cypriots is unforgettable
for every visitor. English, the second language is
broadly spoken, as well as German and French to a
great extent.
This many faceted and intriguing country provides
for the visitor the beauty of unspoilt beaches,
envigorating hikes in the fresh mountain air, or the
possibility to enjoy the truly cosmopolitan character
of the cities. Cyprus has something for everyone !
Evening entertainment ranges from ballet, theatre,
live music and folklore shows to discotheques, with
culinary delights offering a variety of Cypriot
specialities, continental cuisine and candle-lit
dinners
