5Cyprus
Cyprus, the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, is an island steeped in myth and history. From the ancient ruins of Kourion and Paphos to the medieval castles of Kyrenia and Limassol, the island is a testament to its multicultural heritage. Visitors can wander through the maze-like streets of Nicosia’s Old Town, marvel at the Byzantine frescoes of Agios Lazaros Church, and relax on the sun-drenched beaches of Ayia Napa and Protaras. With its warm climate, vibrant culture, and laid-back atmosphere, Cyprus offers a true Mediterranean experience.
