Tourist Information

Cyprus possesses many of the most important ingredients that make a holiday memorable. Its climate will not disappoint sun worshippers and many of its beaches have been awarded blue flag status because of their cleanliness, their safe bathing and their facilities. Around Cape Gkreko there are many rocky coves ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving.

Good beaches for children include Fig Tree Bay and Flamingo Bay with their golden sand.

Although Agia Napa attracts many young single groups, the beach is also popular with families. It is here that you will find the Waterworld leisure centre and the Go-Karts track. .

There are many leisure activities including championship golf courses and mountain trails for hikers. The recommended trails include Atalante and Persephone in the Troodos area and Aphrodite and Adonis in the Akamas district.

There are also some fantastic sightseeing opportunities from ancient ruins and medieval castles to wonderful churches and museums.

At Kourion you will find the second century BC theatre which has been restored and is once again used for its original purpose. Other important sites are the Tombs of the Kings and the Kolossi Castle. The castle is more like a fortified tower house and is a reminder of the time of the Knights of St. John.
