subject: Relaxing, Entertaining, And Fascinating Holidays In Cyprus [print this page] Holidays in Cyprus are perfect for any type of tourist. After Sicily and Sardinia, Cyprus is the 3rd biggest Mediterranean island. Situated 75 kilometers south of Turkey, Cyprus is made up of a total area of 9,251 square kilometers, with a coastline of 648 kilometers. With its rich history spanning 10,000 years, the island is full of fascination.
Limassol is the main sea port. This city is a thriving Mediterranean trade and business center. To cater for its many business visitors, there is a string of top-notch hotels, all offering the best in business services and accommodation. Its extensive sandy beaches also make Limassol a sought-after summer resort.
Vineyards grow on the undulating hills outside the city, which is home to one of the island's most notable wineries. Limassol is host to an annual carnival which has been likened to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This vibrant, colorful event is a great favorite with tourists. It takes place early in spring every year.
Every Cyprus town has its own unique attractions and character, but the individuality of Paphos is clearly evident. Strewn around the entire town are ancient sites that go back thousands of years. The historical content is so great that the town is featured in the UNESCO list of natural treasures.
Another great tourist attraction is the Troodos Massif which is part of the Troodos Mountains. It stretches right across the middle of Cyprus and reaches a height of 1952 meters at Mount Olympus. This is the highest point of the country and offers amazing views of the forests and countryside.
If you spend your next summer holidays in Cyprus, you will certainly not forget the pristine beaches in the Ammachostos region. Pictures of the turquoise crystal clear waters often grace the pages of the world's leading holiday and travel magazines. Spend a few days in one of this area's resorts, Protaras or Ayia, and you will certainly experience paradise on earth.
