    General Cyprus, a charming and laid back island evoking a sense of peace and relaxation, sits at the crossroads of three continents of diverse cultures and religions. Rich in agriculture and history, the island offers many fascinating places of interest. From picturesque mountain villages and stunning sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, to ancient ruins steeped in history, some dating as far back as 10,000 years, Cyprus is a place where you find the past living side by side with 21st century culture. The island features in many mythological tales, the most famous of which is the fable of the birth of Aphrodite, goddess of love, who emerged from the sea at Petra tou Romiou near modern day Paphos. In it's history, Cyprus’ diverse culture has been shaped by many foreign influences. Egyptians, Venetians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and the British, have all ruled here. The modern Republic of Cyprus has a democratically elected government and has been part of the European Union since 1st. May 2004. The two official languages of Cyprus are Greek and Turkish, but you will find English is widely spoken. The official currency in the Republic of Cyprus is the Euro which was introduced in early 2008. There are two main religions practiced on the island, Greek Orthodox Christianity in the south and Islam by most of the Turkish Cypriots in the north. Religion plays an important role in most Cypriot's lives and Greek Orthodox communities and individuals have built a vast number of churches which are scattered around the island. Many of these churches are beautifully decorated. Byzantine fresco paintings can be found in a number of very old churches, some of which date back to the 12th century. Many are now protected by the world UNESCO foundation.

    0 Paralimni

    0.00 of 0 votes

    Paralimni directly translated means “Next to the lake”, and is currently the fastest growing town in the area. Unfortunately, the lake is dry for most of the year, but if a good downfall does happen to come this way, the lake fills up and gets occupied by the beautiful pink flamingos, which usually reside in the salt lakes next to the Larnaca airport.  In the heart of the town, there are three churches, two of old and one of new sitting side by side, as is the way of life throughout Cyprus. Through this ever-evolving town, there is a constantly changing and growing trend of modern shops with the latest designer clothes, Ethnic clothes and jewellery to probably one of the smallest Marks and Spencer shops ever! It is wonderful to just meander around and window shop, or buy (if you prefer) from some of the unique boutiques that are dotted around.   The blend of traditional cafés with elderly local men sitting around outside, lining the pavements drinking their strong coffees and playing Tavli*, or cards is an everyday occurrence. While nestling next to the traditional cafés are the new ultra-modern cafés, where the younger generation and business people prefer to sit and converse while grabbing a quick bite to eat.   If you are more interested in the cultural architecture and the way of living, visit some of the back roads and streets just off the center of the town, where you will find some old traditional arched houses which are still being occupied to this day, next to a modern built property, definitely some quaint houses.

    0.00 of 0 votes

      Kykkos Monastery is the most famous monastery in Cyprus. It was founded in the 11th century and it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary by the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos. The original monastery was burned down many times so there are no remains of its original build. The monastery houses the three surviving icons ascribed to Saint Luke. The monastery is split into two levels, upon entering the monastery you will find a large courtyard and to the left of the courtyard you will find a staircase which leads you to the amazing museum. A staircase will take you down to the lower level where you will find the inner sanctuary which is spectacularly decorated inside in gold. A small room attached to the inner sanctuary houses the relics of saints in amazing reliquaries some of which date back thousands of years. A part of the monastery which is a must-see is the museum. Opened in May of 1998 the museum is home to an amazing collection of religious icons, artifacts & literature spanning hundreds, if not thousands of years. Definitely worth the trip to the mountains to see this wonderful site and while you're in the area check out some of the sights.
