Cyprus HolidaysAncient spirit & unmatched hospitality

Cyprus is a stunning island of striking contradictions. On the one hand, it is a place untouched by the chaos of modern life; brimming with charming cobblestone villages where children play freely and locals gather at the 'Kafeneio' to sip strong Greek coffee whilst enjoying a game of backgammon. It is a small island with a big personality waiting to tell its often-overlooked but utterly fascinating history. However, Cyprus is also a vibrant and youthful destination promising action-packed days under the Mediterranean sun and wild nights...
