Welcome to Cyprus, an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. Cyprus's history goes back 10,000 years and has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here - but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travellers throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.

Today Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries European culture with ancient enchantment. Here you will discover a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where wine flows as freely as the conversations at the local café. A carefree place where a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness of the people.

Distances: Paphos to Larnaca is about 140 Km (87 miles) and, due to the excellent dual-carriageway, takes between 1 and 2 hours to drive. Ayia Napa is about 30 minutes' drive from Larnaca. Hire cars, taxis, buses and ‘Service’ taxis (where you share the vehicle and cost with others) are freely available. There is no railway in Cyprus.
