Cyprus
Search for holidays to...
Ever since Anthony gave Cyprus to Cleopatra as the ultimate love token, the island has been stirring passions.
Byron found its rich history ?almost too profuse? and Richard the Lionheart lost his heart here, when he married Queen Berengaria. Today, thanks to 300 sunny days a year and a classically spectacular Mediterranean landscape, it more than fulfils the holiday cliché of something for everyone. We've opted for sophisticated hotels, worth packing your little black dress for, but, if you want to eat barefoot in your shorts on the beach, go to a club or even shed your inhibitions and dance on the table, it's okay: anything goes. You can explore archaeological treasures dating back to the Bronze Age, bathe in the same spot as Aphrodite, visit a nesting site for rare turtles at Lara Beach or walk among cooling pines and cedars in the Troödos Mountains.
In Nicosia, the capital, walk around the 16th century walls
See the archaeological treasures in Paphos, including the Tombs of the Kings.
Embark on a luxurious cruise along Cyprus's idyllic coastline, with a relaxing swim or snorkel at Coral Bay. Climb aboard a 4x4 for an adventure across the captivating scenery of the Akamas Peninsula or Troödos Mountains. Explore beautiful landscapes from the sky, drifting peacefully over Cyprus in a memorable hot air balloon ride. A full excursion programme is available; please see your Sovereign Concierge for details.
