More than 3 million choose Cyprus as their holiday haven every year. Is it just warm weather and sandy beaches that lure all these people? Let’s find out!

Cyprus is an island, whose archaeology stems from the Neolithic Age, the Ancient Greeks and the Roman period; where churches and monasteries still stand from Byzantine times; castles and palaces from the days of Crusaders and Frankish Lusignans and splendid city walls from Venetian days.

This is just a sample of Cyprus’ rich history. Did you know that according to legend, the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite (Venus) rose from the Paphos foam? No wonder Cyprus has been labelled as the island of love.

Recent evidence points to Cyprus as being the mythical civilization of Atlantis. An expedition to the underwater seabed of the island will be launched. If it is indeed confirmed that Cyprus is Atlantis, then it will change history forever.

Apart from having such a rich culture, Cyprus is also endowed with great natural beauty. A visitor to Cyprus will be dazzled at the pleasures of traditional Cypriot life. Cypriots are naturally hospitable people, and visitors will not feel slighted as they will be amazed as they view the beautiful picturesque panoramas, the Mediterranean architecture, as well as sample the delicious traditional cuisine.

Do you think from this that Cyprus is a very interesting place? I wouldn’t blame you if you were impressed that it has a blend of cultural and natural richness. Be one of the 3.3 million people, and visit Cyprus every year!
