(Ages at time of travel)
Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean. The landscape varies between rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, rocky hills and forest-covered mountains. The Troodos Mountains in the centre of the island rise to almost 1950m (6400ft) and provide good skiing during the winter. Nicosia (Lefkosia), the capital of Cyprus, is situated at the heart of the Messaoria Plain. The old city has many quaint and ancient shops. Nicosia District extends westwards into the vine-covered Troodos Mountains, where magnificent forests and valleys feature hill resorts such as Kakopetria and Byzantine churches in Galata. Limassol (Lemesos) is the islands main port and centre of the wine industry. In September the town has a wine festival, during which wine and food are served free. Cyprus is becoming established as a winter destination with both Platres and Kakopetria conveniently placed for the skiing season on Mount Olympus. Local dishes include kebabs (lamb or other meat skewered and roasted over a charcoal fire) and dolmas (vine leaves stuffed with minced meat and rice).

  • Pierides Museum
    The Pierides Museum is home to a collection of precious folkloric and archaeological artefacts which has been assembled over five generations by the Pierides family. Begun by the great scholar, Demetrios Pierides (1811-1895) and continued by his sons, their wives and their children, it is a veritable treasure chest of 9000 years of Cypriot history.
  • Larnaca Fort
    Larnaca Fort marks the end of the seafront promenade and houses a simple exhibition of historical objects including cannons, suits of armour, lace from nearby Lefkara and other assorted items.
  • Church of St Lazarus
    The Church of St Lazarus (Agios Lazaros Church) is Larnaca's greatest religious monument. The 9th-century church was restored in the 17th century and boasts a particularly fine Baroque iconostasis, which in Greek Orthodox churches is the screen separating the congregation from the altar.
  • Hala Sultan Tekke
    The Hala Sultan Tekke is an Islamic shrine, unusual in that it is dedicated to a woman, built between 1760 and 1796. Overlooking the Salt Lake, where flamingoes stop en route from Africa in spring and autumn, it is a peaceful, beautiful spot for a mosque.
  • Paphos Aquarium
    For a great family day out, head down to Paphos Aquarium, where both Mediterranean and tropical species (including crocodiles) can be seen in the 72 environmentally-friendly tanks.
