Cyprus Travel Guide
Sun-soaked beaches, ancient ruins, mountain villages, and a divided capital — all on an island you can drive across in three hours.
Cyprus is the Mediterranean’s quiet powerhouse. Each city has its own personality: Nicosia for split-capital culture, Limassol for cosmopolitan coast, Paphos for myth and mosaics, Ayia Napa for beaches, Larnaca for laid-back seafront.
Honest hotel picks by city, tours and excursions worth booking, and practical advice for first-time visitors — whether you’re planning a beach week, a heritage trip, or a cruise stop.
