Relaxation

Those seeking beach-relaxation will find a good range of stunning coastline to choose from in Cyprus. Phinikoudes Beach is one of the most famous on the island, while the golden sand of Kapparis is another popular option.

Many hotels even offer spa services, such as massages and facials, which can make your vacation even more restful.



Watersports and Activities

Cyprus has plenty of sports and other options to holidaymakers active during their holiday, particularly when it comes to enjoying the delights of the Mediterranean itself. You can learn to dive at resorts throughout the Akamas peninsula. If you want to snorkel or go boating, you might be able to enjoy these activities without leaving your resort - many offer numerous water activities, including paragliding. Your hotel might also include sports facilities such as tennis courts, or host yoga and other fitness classes. The harbours of Latchi, Paphos and Limassol offer sailing instruction and boat rentals.



Sightseeing

From the ancient Tombs of the Kings and Mosaics in Paphos to the UNESCO recognised Byzantine churches in the Troodos mountains, there is no shortage of intriguing, historical sites to explore on the island. In Paphos, you can also visit a medieval fort where an opera festival is held each summer. At the village of Choirokoitia, you can see a UNESCO listed Neolithic settlement, which is renowned as one of the best-preserved prehistoric sites in the eastern Mediterranean. The Cyprus museum in Nicosia hosts antiquities dating from the Neolithic to the Byzantine Age.
