Paphos

The ancient capital of Cyprus, Paphos is a favourite destination for those seeking a cultural break set against the stunning backdrop of the Troodos Mountains. Among the most ancient and beautiful towns in Cyprus, Paphos was, in Hellenistic and Roman times, the island's capital.

So rich is it in ancient architectural and archaeological treasures, dating back thousands of years, that UNESCO has added virtually the whole town to its list of World Cultural Heritage sites.

Polis

The charming town of Polis is one of the few places in Cyprus that really caters for those looking for something other than the 24 hour parties on offer elsewhere. A small town, Polis still retains something of its old village atmosphere, despite the fact that tourism is becoming increasingly important in the area. A town of rugged coastlines, unspoilt beaches and winding streets, this is the perfect base for exploring the untamed Akamas Peninsular National Park and partaking in the wide range of water sports available in the area. The fishing village of Latchi nearby is were the locals flock to sample the delicious and mouthwatering flavours of the days catch.

Protaras

For those in search of something more traditional, the real Cyprus is never far away. Sandy beaches, clear turquoise sea, large hotels, innumerable bars and restaurants, and excellent water sports make this a very popular destination.

Platres

A hillside resort that is attracts holidaymakers from far and wide, due mainly to its stunningly beautiful location and the mountain valley views that stretch out towards the coast. The altitude makes the temperature slightly cooler than you'd find elsewhere on Cyprus, and for this reason Platres is best visited between April and October

Limassol has the best traditional nightlife. Ayia Napa is one of the growing number of resorts offering a UK-based club scene in the sun, notably at the 2,000-capacity P'Zazz. Originally underground garage based, the town has grown rapidly to offer a wider range of genres of music.

More traditional Cypriot-style entertainment is widely available at the intimate bars and restaurants located in other parts of the island.

Shopping:

Visit the markets and shops at Limassol. Good local buys are pottery, lace and spectacles.

Days out:

Visit the temple of Apollo, Aphrodite's Rock, the Roman settlements at Curium, Mount Olympus and the Kykko Monastery. Take time to visit the breathtaking Troodos Mountains or the Akamas Peninsula, or should you have ample free time, why not take a cruise to the Holy Land.

Sport:

As the island is surrounded with many stunning beaches water sports are available to suit every taste, divers and snorkellers should aim for Protaras for the best diving around.
