FAQs: Cyprus

What should I know about Cyprus?

Located in the southeastern part of the Mediterranean, Cyprus is the third largest island in the sea after Sardinia and Corsica. The island is predominantly composed of ethnic Greek and Turks, taking much of its cultural heritage from the two countries.

The country is very geographically diverse, with two mountain ranges – the Troodos Mountains and Kyrenia Range – encircling a central plain. The island nation has numerous excellent beach resorts that attract millions of tourists each year, including near both international airports.

Nicosia is both the capital as well as the country’s largest city. It has been continuously inhabited for 4,500 years and, as a result, has a rich history and culture. It is definitely worth visiting when you decide to come for a visit!

If you plan on driving in Cyprus, it is useful to remember that the island was a British protectorate until 1960 and, as a result, the people drive on the left hand side of the road.

Why should I choose Cyprus for my adventure?

Stunning scenery

Majestic mountains and stunning sea views dominate the Cypriot landscape. Head over to Mount Olympus for stunning panoramic views of the island or do sailing off the Cypriot coast to experience the breathtaking sea cliffs and pristine beaches. With very little rain throughout most of the year, enjoy clear and sunny skies, whatever activity you choose to do.

Come for the culture

When you aren’t on an outdoor adventure, head into one of the local urban areas to experience this unique mesh of Turkish and Greek culture. Falling at the end of winter or beginning of spring is the Limassol Carnival Festival, which is always a treat if you can make it here for then.
