There’s something to give everyone a little pleasure on this stunning Mediterranean Island and it’s not just the weather…

Cyprus for frugal spenders

Cyprus has risen in price since converting to the Euro, but there are many money-saving tips to make your holiday a little more cost effective. Rather than ordering your Meze from larger restaurants in the tourist areas, head inland to the local taverns where everything is much cheaper.

It will be one holiday your kids will be talking about long after you return home.

Cyprus for history buffs

Cyprus has a lot to offer anyone with a keen interest in history. You could delve into the ancient world and examine the remnants of places like Kourion, the large Byzantine basilica, or take a trip to the Medieval era with a trip to the villages surrounding Trodos Massif, where you’ll find monasteries housing fascinating paintings and relics from the time.

Cyprus for wine connoisseurs

Cyprus brags of a long history of wine making. In fact, if your aim is to scour the island looking for the best places to enjoy the country’s fine vine yards then a trip to one of the many wine villages could be the perfect break for you. Places like Omodos have a winery you can enjoy as part of your trip.
