Things to do in Cyprus

An island nestled in the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus is home to dozens of beaches, ancient ruins, and a vibrant culture. From the nightlife of Ayia Napa to the historical treasures of Paphos, this island offers a diverse range of tourist attractions. Highlights include the Troodos Mountains and the cosmopolitan charm of Limassol. With its mix of sun-soaked coastlines and rich cultural heritage, Cyprus is ideal if you’re looking for sun, beach, and adventure.

Top Six Places and Attractions in Cyprus

1. Historic Paphos Southwestern Paphos is a treasure trove of history and mythology listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located by the water is the Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos, where you can step back in time and admire well-preserved Roman villas with intricate mosaic floors. The Rock of Aphrodite, the mythical birthplace of the Greek goddess, is a special spot for a refreshing dip. Water sports enthusiasts can also head to Coral Bay to snorkel in its crystal-clear waters.

2. Cosmopolitan Limassol Limassol, in the south, combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with historical allure. For a real holiday feel, head to the promenade where you can stroll among palm trees, enjoy an ice cream, or relax at a café. For some history, take an excursion to Kourion. Among the ruins of this ancient city, you’ll find a Greco-Roman theatre with eye-catching views of the Mediterranean. The medieval Kolossi Castle is also a must-see.

3. Vibrant Ayia Napa Fans of nightlife should head to Ayia Napa, in the east of the island. The entertainment venues and beaches make it a top destination for sun and fun. Nissi Beach, famous for its soft white sand and turquoise waters, is the place to sunbathe and enjoy water activities. The Ayia Napa Monastery is a peaceful, medieval retreat that contrasts with the bustling town. For a day full of fun, visit WaterWorld just outside the city or Parko Paliatso Luna Park between the city centre and the coast.

4. The Green Troodos Mountains Besides beaches and cities, Cyprus also has stunning nature. The Troodos Mountains offer a refreshing escape from the coastal heat, with lush forests, charming villages, and beautiful vistas. On Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Cyprus at 1,952 meters, you can ski in winter and enjoy hiking the rest of the year. A hike to the Kaledonia Waterfalls near the village of Platres is a fun option for all ages. The Kykkos Monastery, known for its history and frescoes, is a spiritual and cultural highlight.

5. Port City of Larnaca Larnaca also offers a mix of relaxation and culture. This port city is located in the southeast of the island. A popular spot is the Finikoudes promenade; this boulevard lined with palm trees, bars, and terraces offers the ultimate summer vibe. In winter, Larnaca's salt lake becomes a spectacle when flamingos flock to it, making it a beautiful natural attraction. The Hala Sultan Tekke, a serene mosque by the salt lake, is also a must-see.

6. Capital City Nicosia Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has a mix of old and modern attractions. In the old city, surrounded by Venetian walls, you can stroll through narrow streets, past historic buildings, and lively markets. Be sure to visit Ledra Street, the main shopping street and the first pedestrian crossing between the Greek and Turkish parts of the island—a unique experience. The Cyprus Museum, with a collection ranging from the Stone Age to the Byzantine period, is a must for history lovers.
