Planning a trip to Cyprus?

Well with the year round sunshine of Cyprus who could blame you? It may be one of many islands in the Mediterranean Sea, but it is also the most magical, capturing the beauty and culture of Europe, the Middle East and Africa all in one.

The island combines 648 square kilometres of breathtaking coastline dotted with beautiful beaches, luxury hotels and great nightlife, with a rugged interior where you will discover sleepy villages, ancient ruins, stunning mountain peaks and a warm Cypriot welcome!

They don't call it the island of contrasts for nothing! But with so much to see and do here, many travellers don’t even know where to start!

This site is unlike any other Cyprus travel guide because it has been written by real Cypriots! We know this place better than anyone and have been there and done it all when it comes to this island! So if you are planning a trip to our beautiful country and need some inspiration, you have come to the right place!

We made this site so that you can experience everything the island has to offer, whether you are a couple wanting some romance, a group looking for great nightlife or family activities, or history lovers eager to explore ancient castles and ruins! We have created detailed guides on every neighbourhood (both North and South) to help you plan your visit according to your tastes.

But that's not all! You can't see the real island without understanding the people, their traditional customs and their unique, quirky ways! We provide you with insider knowledge on the Cypriot people, from their wedding and dating rituals to their superstitions to enhance your trip.

Our island is the gem of the Mediterranean, and we are here to help you experience it to the max! We have over 100 pages of content for you to enjoy, so make yourself comfortable, it's time to 'see the real Cyprus'!
