Cyprus holidays for every single taste

By Malik Kragt


The many faces of Cyprus holidays

While Cyprus has its fair share of sunny days and incredible beaches, it's worth noting that it also has many other things to offer its visitors. Whatever you want from your holidays in Cyprus, there will be places and people to cater for you - it's simply a matter of deciding exactly what you want to get out of your time away.

Get active or enjoy some pampering

Spa resorts have become one of the favourite types of accommodation for holidays in Cyprus over recent years, catering for those who like to take care of themselves and live the high life. Kitted out with treatment rooms, saunas, pools and modern fitness equipment, you can enjoy a workout and then relax in the hands of a qualified therapist. If you like the idea of an active type of holiday but don't want to miss out on the famous Cyprus sunshine, then make sure that you book a hotel by the coast, where you'll also be able to take the plunge and fill your days with wild water sports and new experiences.

If you want to get the heart pumping with adventurous activities, but you prefer to keep your feet on terra firma, then book into an adventure park for dune racing, go-karting or archery. If you'd rather your holidays were more focused on treating the taste buds, then base yourself in Limassol and head out on day trips to the highly praised wine region near the mountains. Wine tours offer the ideal chance to sample a wide range of the local tipple - and you could easily fill your suitcase with a bottle from each vineyard if the great prices and high-quality proves too much to resist!

Something more sympathetic

Over the last decade, many popular tourist destinations have bought into the idea of offering holidays which are more sympathetic to the traditions and environment - and Cyprus is no different, with accommodation and holidays now being made available in small rural villages. Living like the locals, you'll see how the Cypriots go about their day-to-day lives, and you'll be offered the chance to help them work the land and produce traditional foods from the fruits of your labour.

Of course, holidays in Cyprus are also great for golfers too, with plenty of quality courses scattered around the island for you to show off your swing. Youngsters are also well catered for, especially in the well-known party capital of Ayia Napa - be sure to take your hangover remedies with you! All in all, you can find any kind of holiday you want in Cyprus, from mountain climbing, to serial shopping, or a truly historic adventure, this is one special island that's really got it all.
