Our Cyprus
specialists
We love a lie-on-the-beach style holiday as much as the next person, but our consultants are determined to show you that Cyprus is so much more than that. With our help, uncover secret adventures like beekeeping at a honey farm, hiking up the Troodos Mountains and Cypriot cooking classes. Our guides will take you beyond the usual tourist spots to uncover the island’s varied history, while our clued-up Concierges are full of local suggestions (like hidden beaches to relax on in between culture-filled days).
Who is Cyprus best for?
Sunseekers with an interest in ancient history; families. Cyprus has a choice of superb family-friendly beach hotels from which to explore the island or just soak up the sun that shines an average 326 days a year.
What you can find in Cyprus that you won't find anywhere else?
History and hedonism in perfect combination - if you can drag yourself away from the alluring sandy beaches and sparkling blue sea, there are numerous remnants of the island's intriguing history to explore - well-preserved classical ruins and mosaics, Byzantine churches, crusader fortresses and remote monasteries perched on mountaintops. Cyprus has had an eventful past stretching back millennia, thanks to its strategic location at the crossroads of three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. Numerous civilisations have come and gone, from Greek, Phoenician and Roman through to Ottoman and British. Enhance your sightseeing with local wines and delicious Cypriot mezze in lovely little restaurants that we can recommend.
Special Things to Do in Cyprus
Another side of Cyprus is the peaceful, rural interior with its slumbering villages surrounded by citrus groves, terraced vineyards and olive trees. The way of life here is more or less unchanged in centuries and it is well worth taking the time during your luxury Cyprus holiday to visit the unspoilt landscapes of the Troodos Mountains and the wild and dramatic beauty of the Akamas Peninsula.
