holiday in Cyprus


Why holiday in Cyprus?
Cyprus, situated in the eastern corner of the Mediterranean, Cyprus has a subtropical climate. During July and August temperatures rise to more than 40c, in the central Mesaoria plain, leaving the land dry with brown and gold colours broken only by the green leaves of the olive, carob and fig trees. Cyprus is an excellent choice for holidays during the Summer, Spring, Autumn  or the UK winter season.
There is also  Ancient monuments and archaeological sites. Cyprus has a fascinating history and rich cultural heritage. Those taking holidays in Cyprus have a vast range of ancient monuments and archaeological sites to visit. This is particularly so in Paphos, which is on UNESCO's list of World Cultural Heritage sites. The most prominent features of Cyprus are two mountain ranges the higher of the two is the southern Troodos range, at 2,000 metres above sea level and in winter it is with snow covered. Following the invasion by Turkey of 1974, just over one third of the island remains under Turkish rule. The 'Green Line' that cuts through the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia divides the country, the last remaining divided capital in Europe.
