Fall in love with Cyprus

Cyprus is a four and a half hour flight from London. We flew with Aegean from Heathrow, however, you can fly from Gatwick as well as from other regional airports, using different airlines.

Our first stop was Ayia Napa. It’s around a 45 minute transfer from the Airport . The beaches are lovely and there’s plenty to do around the area. I felt really comfortable and enjoyed the stunning views from our hotel. The beach was crystal clear, the swim in the sea was very refreshing.

As a general rule, I would recommend going bed and breakfast in the resort areas of Ayia Napa, Limassol, and Pafos, as the local eateries are absolutely fantastic and very good value for money. The food is prepared fresh and tastes lovely, so eat local wherever you can.

Transport links are very good as well, as are taxis. You can make good use of the hop on hop off buses while you are there. There are also lots of water activities, and many stunning historic monasteries, castles, mosaics, the list goes on. There is enough to keep you interested during your stay.

Cyprus is perfect for all type of travelers, it caters for families, couples, weddings, young and older groups alike, adventurers, historians, beach lovers, etc. It covers so many interests on one island. I would strongly recommend this beautiful island to all travelers.

Limassol and Pafos were exciting, again, everything is within walking distance. The harbor was lined with amazing restaurants and bars. All of the resorts we visited were lively and had so much to offer.

If you are a wine lover, then you must visit one of the many vineyards dotted around the south west of the country, we visited a fantastic vineyard in Agios Amvrosios and the wines were just spectacular.

Again, with Cyprus, if you are looking for something different, then make your way up to Tochni. Halfway between the cities of Larnaca and Limassol. Based on folk tradition, Tochni is among the oldest villages in Cyprus,. Here you will find this small village that has been designated as an “agritourism” site which promotes the restoration of the original village and Cypriot stone houses that once stood in this area. Tochni is rustic and quaint with beautiful scenery, only an hour from the beach, this is a place to relax and enjoy the serene countryside. Great for Yoga, history, hiking, biking etc

It was my first time visiting Cyprus and I fell in love with it. I would highly recommend this country as a destination for all travelers.
