Cyprus is often associated with the Greeks, with the term Greek Cypriot used by many to describe their heritage. Even this hints at the island's fascinating story. The Greeks actually arrived on Cyprus around 3,500 years ago, though many civilisations have since followed. Each left its own imprint, from the sea faring Phoenician tradespeople to the all-conquering Romans.
Geography often dictates history, and Cyprus was coveted by many for its ideal location as a launch point for three continents - Africa, Asia and of course Europe. The word fusion is perhaps the most useful when describing Cyprus, historically, culturally and of course gastronomically. Join us on a walking holiday in Cyprus to discover what lies beyond the more popular beach holiday destinations.
From a natural perspective, as one of the largest islands in the Mediterranean, Cyprus offers a wealth of opportunities. The Troodos Mountains offer the opportunity to enjoy spectacular views, UNESCO heritage sites and some excellent walking trails. Northern Cyprus is filled with ancient ruins, beautiful castles, fishing villages and meandering walks along the many beautiful beaches. Unsurprisingly Cyprus also has coastal scenery to rival any of its Mediterranean neighbours. You can explore the Akamas Peninsula for hidden coves, splendid beaches and ancient stone villages.
