Breathtaking
The island’s capital (Nicosia) has
only recently emerged as a tourist
destination, thanks to the opening of
the Green Line (the no-go area also
known as the ‘dead zone’ that divides
Cypriot and Turkish areas) at Ledra
street.
5. Snow to sand
5 great things to do in Cyprus;
this is our must-experience list for
you to tick off during your visit to this
beautiful island. Enjoy!
1. Visit the Blue Lagoon
Hire a motorboat in Latchi and set off
on a solo trip around the picturesque
peninsula. Snorkelling, dolphinwatching and sea turtle spotting is an
exhilarating experience in this beautiful
paradise.
2. Experience a Cyprus Night
Immerse yourself in the very best
Cypriot culture of dance, music and
food. You will likely enjoy a meze - up
to 20 small courses of tasty local dishes.
Plate smashing and lots of dancing are
a highlight. These nights are a feast for
all your senses.
3. A Cyprus Wine Route
There are many routes to choose from
where you can enjoy some delightful
Cyprus wines and some stunning
scenery along the way. We recommend
the CTO Wine Route 2 (orange route).

4. Gaze across the Green Line
In winter months (Jan - Mar) it is
possible to hit the slopes in the
morning on skis, then spend the
afternoon on the beach. Be warned, it
might be cold but it earns you great
bragging rights!
