Welcome to Cyprus, an island of legends that basks year-round
in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. A storied past 10,000
years long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes
of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their
claim here but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced
with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travellers
throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.
Today Cyprus is a modern country that effortlessly marries
European culture with ancient enchantment. Here you will discover
a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks,
vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir
the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where
sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local cafe.
A carefree place where a sense of Timelessness is magnified
by the kindness of the people. This official website of the
Cyprus Tourism Organisation is designed to be your electronic
entry to the quiet beauty of Cyprus in all its dimensions. Step
inside for an in-depth look at an island that is as exotic as
you imagine - and more accessible than you might think.
