Grand Tour of Cyprus
A first-timer's loop of the whole island, ancient sites, the divided capital, mountain monasteries and beach towns.
Island of Aphrodite, sun and antiquity
Cyprus pairs sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches with ancient ruins, mountain villages, and rich mythology as the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite. Roman mosaics at Paphos, the frescoed churches of the Troodos Mountains, and lively coastal resorts share a compact, easily explored island. Its blend of Greek and other cultural influences shapes its cuisine, architecture, and warm hospitality. Year-round sunshine and clear waters make it a Mediterranean favorite.
The landmarks that shape a journey through Cyprus, explore them on the map.
The best times to visit Cyprus are spring, from April to June, and autumn, from September to October, when the weather is warm and pleasant for both sightseeing and the beach. Summer is hot and busy, especially along the southern coast, but ideal for swimming. Winter is mild along the coast and can bring snow to the Troodos Mountains, allowing brief skiing. The shoulder seasons offer the best combination of climate and value.
