What Could You Experience in Southern Cyprus?

Ancient History & Local Culture

Discover archaeological sites, historic towns and villages that reveal different chapters of Cyprus’s past.

Explore the mosaics and Tombs of the Kings in Paphos, visit ancient Kourion or spend time wandering through the streets of Nicosia and Limassol.

Local Food & Culture

Cyprus is a wonderful place to enjoy a leisurely meal, with Greek and Middle Eastern influences reflected in its cuisine. Try a traditional meze, a selection of small dishes that might include grilled halloumi, stuffed vine leaves, fresh seafood and local specialities.

Explore the restaurants and cafés of Limassol and Nicosia, or settle into a village taverna for a relaxed evening. You could also sample a glass of Commandaria, Cyprus’s traditional sweet dessert wine.

 

Beaches & Coastal Escapes

Southern Cyprus offers a choice of beaches and coastal resorts, from the sandy shores around Protaras and Ayia Napa to the coastline near Paphos and Limassol.

Spend your days relaxing beside the Mediterranean, enjoying boat trips or trying activities such as snorkelling, paddleboarding and scuba diving.

Protaras’s sandy Fig Tree Bay has shallow falls, making it perfect for families. Kourion beach is popular with wind surfers and kite boarders. Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa is the party beach. Aphrodite’s Rock and Beach is probably the most famous, legend claims Aphrodite emerged from the sea here!

 

Mountain Walks & Outdoor Adventures

Beyond the coast, the Troodos Mountains offer scenic villages, walking trails and a different side of Cyprus.

You could also explore the Akamas Peninsula, enjoy cycling or plan a holiday that combines active days with time relaxing by the sea.
