Slightly under the radar, this area on the eastern coast is just five minutes from a peaceful beach with crystal clear waters and powdery sand. The village centre has all the necessary amenities, including shops, restaurants and bars. For exciting nightlife, fine dining and even more beaches, head to Protaras, a larger resort five minutes from Kapparis. In this area, you'll find Fig Tree Bay, named after its single pine tree and known for its watersports. You can try out kitesurfing, water skiing and paragliding here - take your pick from several water sports on offer. Additionally, snorkeling enthusiasts can explore colorful coral reefs and encounter diverse marine life. Fig Tree Bay offers an unforgettable snorkeling experience for adventurers of all levels.Alternatively, the beach is simply beautiful in its own right. Shimmering water for swimming, golden sand for strolling and incredible soaring views of Hellenic tombs and forestry - this beach has it all. Cyprus is dotted with vineyards, pine trees and wildflower-filled meadows. The coastline is adorned with dazzling white-sand beaches and impossibly blue water, while there's hiking, museums and ancient ruins to explore inland. A day trip to Paphos is a great way to understand Cyprus' history and culture - the island is home to one of the oldest civilisations in the Mediterranean. There's so much to see and do in this area with well-preserved tombs, Roman ruins, and mosaics to discover. The Tombs of the Kings, interestingly, never involved royals but were named after how grand the underground chambers and tombs were. In Paphos, why not visit Aphrodite's Rock, the spiritual home of the Greek goddess of love. Aphrodite is said to have been born of the sea foam in Paphos. Swim around the rock three times you will be blessed with eternal youth, true love, beauty, good fortune and fertility, according to ancient mythology. A word of warning: the sea here is rough! However, a pilgrimage to see Aphrodite's Rock from the beach (Petra Tou Romiou) is a lovely idea. Cyprus has Europe's last divided capital. Nicosia is a fascinating city, split between Greek and Turkish Cypriots and with an Old Town surrounded with city walls. Nicosia is home to many fascinating and quirky museums. From Cyprus Museum, showcasing important historical and archaeological finds to the Museum of Motorcycles, it's perfect for some indoor time and learning. Cyprus has diverse and vibrant cuisine - the best way to start is with a traditional meze platter. This way, you can get try out lots of different local dishes, such as atelia - pork cooked in red wine - and dips such as tahini, taramosalata and skordalia. Of course, Cyprus is where halloumi originates, grilled or barbecued to perfection and served with pitta bread, salad and a side of hummus. For dessert, tuck into some sticky baklava - so indulgent! The island is blessed with many natural wonders, such as Larnaca Salt Lake, beloved by migrating birds and a dizzying array of shrimp. Made up of four salt pans and home to charming flamingoes, the salt pan features in both Muslim and Christian lore. In summer, when the salt is fully dry, visitors can see the salt span across the horizon.
