One of Cyprus beachesA lot of words can be told about Cyprus. Both positive and negative remarks are a common thing. No doubts, it has strong connection to history. Walking through the dark passages of Paphos Castle, touching its old, rough walls, looking at the immovable “face” of blue waters remain you about Ancient times, times of Alexander the Great and well-known Cleopatra. Even Aphrodite was born here (according to Greek mythology) and chose Cyprus as a further place of living.

Pafos_castleNowadays, Cyprus or the Republic of Cyprus is a large, modern and quickly developing country where the past meets the present and together they are making future. Cyprus is washed by the Mediterranean Sea and each year attracts more than 2 million people from all over the world. This island is opened to tourists 4 seasons a year! Cyprus, it is 10,000 km2 of enchanting beaches, olive and citrus trees and amazing mountains. There are two official languages: Greek and Turkish but English is commonly used. And the official currency is the Cyprus pound.

Stones in Cyprus beachCyprian cuisine is really delicious. Among the most frequently used ingredients are regional herbs and spices, fruits and vegetables, such as green beans and peppers, carrots, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, lettuce. Seafood dishes are very widespread. And, of course, visiting Cyprus you have to taste their wine in order to perceive the character and spirit of Mediterranean.
