Tours & Activities in Cyprus

Cyprus is the third-largest island in the Mediterranean and has been divided since 1974, with the Republic of Cyprus in the south and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus recognised only by Turkey.

The island is home to the Troodos Mountains, where you can find traditional villages that still produce local halloumi cheese using centuries-old methods.

Cyprus experiences over 300 days of sunshine annually, making it one of the sunniest places in Europe.

The island's name may derive from the copper mines that were famously worked here in ancient times—copper is called 'cuprum' in Latin.

Cypriot coffee is traditionally served in a small copper pot called a 'cezve' and is often called 'Greek coffee' in the south, served thick and unfiltered.

The green sea turtle and loggerhead turtle both nest on Cypriot beaches, with Lara Beach serving as an important protected nesting site.
