Cyprus

Cyprus, Aphrodite’s isle

strategically located

at the eastern end of the

Mediterranean, has long

attracted invaders.

Today, whilst the

predominant culture is

of Greek origin, other

occupiers - Phoenicians,

Egyptians, Romans,

Byzantines, Ottomans

and British have all left

their mark. Happily,

Cypriots seem to have absorbed the best attributes of each and first-time

visitors are constantly amazed at the genuine hospitality, warmth and

friendliness with which they are greeted.

For such a small island, Cyprus offers an amazing range of things to

see and do. Apart from being one of Europe’s prime beach holiday

destinations (the island averages around 300 days of sunshine a year),

there are forested mountains, deep gorges and flat fertile plains full of citrus

groves and vineyards; intriguing archaeological sites and techno discos;

quiet villages with old men playing ‘tavli’ (backgammon) in the square and

lively resorts where the evening entertainment lasts until dawn.

The island is dominated by the 2,000-metre high Troodos Mountains,

whose pine and oak covered slopes are often swathed in snow during

winter. To the north the mountains sweep steeply down to the sea; in

contrast, southwards they descend gently towards Lemesos and the

coast.

In the far west the main town is Pafos, centred around its pretty harbour

lined with restaurants and bars. From here it is easy to explore the

spectacular rocky coastline and an enormous range of archaeological

sites. Lemesos, on the south coast, is the island’s second city, with

a huge choice of resorts stretching along the coast. Larnaka, in the

south-east, originally an agricultural centre, has fine museums and

a lively market, whilst nearby Agia Napa offers beaches, water sports,

restaurants and hotels in abundance. And in the pine-scented air of the

mountains are ancient monasteries, peaceful villages and landscapes

of outstanding beauty that provide for excellent exploration

on foot.

3,000 years ago,

Aphrodite the Greek

goddess of love is

believed to have

emerged from the

waters of Cyprus

making this island a

popular romantic

destination. With its

This captivating journey takes you high into the Troodos Mountains. The

pure, cool air and breathtaking views are in complete contrast with the

lively resorts of the coast.

The peaks of the Troodos culminate in Mount Olympus, a mountain

composed of volcanic rock. The heights are snow-covered from January

to March.

This excursion begins with a visit to Pano Kivides, a pretty but now

deserted village (it was built on clay and after heavy rain the buildings

would slide a bit further down the hill, a movement understandably

unsettling for the inhabitants) and then to Nelion, a traditional village

winery.

Then we visit Kykkos Monastery the largest and most famous

monastery in Cyprus, founded in 1100 AD by the Byzantine emperor

Alexios Komnenos.

We then head to Mount Olympus, the highest peak on the island

and the abode of the gods. We stop for a typical Cypriot lunch and

refreshments in a tavern in Platres, a lovely mountain village. We then

visit the waterfalls at Milomery, the largest on the island, after which

we return back to the hotel by late afternoon.

This excursion includes pick-up and drop-off to the hotel and is available

from Pafos and Lemesos.
