Floating on the waters of the European Mediterranean, but pointing longingly towards the shores of Syria, Turkey and Lebanon, Cyprus is an odd mixture. It is a kaleidoscopic blend: its cultural influences are dominated by Western Europe, but its geographic proximity to Asia and Africa gives it more than just a hint of the East.
Crusader castles rub shoulders with ancient vineyards, frescoed monasteries overlook citrus orchards, and sandy, sun-soaked feet tread Roman mosaic floors.

Suggested Itineraries: Cyprus
If curiosity draws you out of the cities, you'll discover the small villages of the Akamas Peninsula and the heavenly golden beaches of the Karpas Peninsula.
Walk the gorgeous Troödos and Kyrenia mountain ranges and inhale the scent of the citrus groves of Morfou. Or climb to the medieval castles with their shimmering island views. Wander through the sea of wildflowers covering the island in spring and Cyprus will take your breath away.
