2024 Cyprus Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
Popular Attractions
Archaeological Site of the Tombs of the Kings
The church of St Nicholas /the sunset point o
Beautiful little coptic church with the most amazing sunsets. Yes you can get married here and they have candles you can light for a donation. Truly beautiful inside.
Lovely place to visit. You can go in and have a look, but you must have a shirt and at least shorts to the knees, respect, and all that.
The area behind the church is dominated by a huge pile of discarded sea weed, cleared from the beaches. In April the shoreline is a riot of wildflowers, well worth a visit.
Also here is official “The sunset point of Cyprus”
And so many cute cats around, so if you have something tasty for them they’ll appreciate it#beachlife #mytripvlog #paphos

Architecture and Travelling in Cyrpus!
What i love about cyprus are these old buildings which adds alot of flavour to the place!
Some travelling insights I gain from travelling in Cyprus
1) No trains lines, you can only rely on buses and taxis. With taxis being very expensive, it leaves just buses as the cheapest form of transport. If you have no choice, Bolt taxi app is available in Cyprus, but I notice the supply of taxis is really low and very high price.
2) There are 2 airports, one on Paphos and one is Larnaca.
3) Alot of places accept credot cards, all of the restaurants, shops i have been to all do. However, if you visit village shops or take buses, only CASH! So remember to have spare euros.

#weekendgetaways
That's right, Cyprus is credited to have been the birth place of Aphrodite and Adonis. May be that is the reason why so many wishful honeymooners head to Cyprus for holidays. Mine wasn't quite it but a nice weekend long getaway. To think of it now, it could make for a splendid weekend destination.
Let me fill you in some more. Located in the Eastern Mediterranean, boasts abundant coastal beauty. One renowned spot, on the island’s southern flank, is Petra tou Romiou, also known as Aphrodite’s Rock. You’ll be enchanted by its rugged cliffs, clear waters, and captivating rock stacks emerging from the sea.
Pissouri is a wonderful locale for swimming and sunbathing. Nestled beneath the scenic village of Pissouri, this beach greets you with its laid-back atmosphere, while tavernas both on the beach and in Pissouri itself will tempt you with fresh seafood and traditional Cypriot cuisine.#beachlife #summergetaway #sunny

We all were on our way to the beach in Gazi Magosa and we saw this lovely view. Absolutely stunning. #gazimagosa #cyprus
Limassol, Cyprus, is picturesque and has a long history. Cyprus is divided by Turkey and Greece.

The villages of Cyprus
#2024wish
Cyprus is home to several traditional villages that offer a glimpse into the island’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.
These villages are members of the island’s agritourism project, which works to support traditional artisanal and agricultural businesses. These rural industries have been left almost unchanged for centuries, whether it’s wine, crop cultivation or handicrafts. Away from the popular tourist hotspots and beach towns, these villages offer a glimpse into the real island, its rural beauty, its people, and their famous hospitality.
These villages offer unique experiences and attractions, including artisanal and agricultural businesses.

Cyprus Travel Guide
🌈 Dear friends, let me share my recent travel experience in Cyprus! This beautiful Mediterranean island is really a place where people linger.
🚗 Transportation:
Traveling in Cyprus, renting a car is the best choice. Self-driving can conveniently explore every corner of the island. Remember to choose an automatic car, it will be much more convenient!
🏠 Accommodation:
The cost of living here is very low, so you can choose some comfortable hotels or homestays.
🍽️ Catering:
You can't miss the food here! Experience a different style.
🕌 Attractions:
1️⃣ Larnaca Salt Lake: This is the home of flamingos and mosques. The scenery of the salt lake is very unique, it is recommended to go and enjoy the beautiful sunset at sunset.
2️⃣ Ayia Napa: There are Santorini-style churches and open-air sculpture parks, and the fun of exploring sea caves. The sunset here is also very beautiful!
3️⃣ Nicosia: Join a local group to learn more about the history and culture of the only divided capital in the world. Walk through the Ledra checkpoint, visit the Büyük Han caravan station, and feel the unique charm of this city.
4️⃣ Kakopetria: This is a summer resort in the mountains, where you can enjoy waterfalls and the Agios Stegis World Heritage Church.
5️⃣ Tomb of the Kings: Visit the 4th century World Heritage Tomb of the Dignitaries and feel the charm of this ancient culture.
6️⃣ Stone of Love: Enjoy one of the best sunsets here, and experience the legend of circling the rock with your lover on the night of the full moon to get eternal love.
💖 Feelings:
This trip made me deeply feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of the Cypriot people. Although divided into north and south, the islanders resist the political game of the great powers with love, and build a bridge between different religions and cultures. The cost of living here is low, and the sun is all year round, it is really a very suitable country for travel! If you also want to have a different trip, come to Cyprus!

Cyprus no filter!

if you think the photo is amazing, you must visit the place in person!
The photos cannot describe enough how this place is wonderful!
We are totally in love with Cyprus!!
Sea Caves, Blue lagoon and Nissi Beach.
Cyprus is a particularly good new immigrant country.
The endless coastline, clear seawater, and the picturesque scenery of Cyprus are more attractive than the god of love Venus. It is considered to be one of the world's top holiday paradises.
Don't underestimate Cyprus just because it's small. It has free and high-quality healthcare, permanent residency for legal work permit holders, and free international education. It's a great destination for new immigrants and tourism enthusiasts. As an island nation in the Mediterranean, it's an undisputed paradise for vacationers, neighboring Turkey, Syria, Egypt, and Greece.

Cyprus Street Art and Travelling
These street art are from paphos, limassol and larnaca which are cities in Cyprus.
Some travelling insights gain from Cyprus visit:
1) if you must visit only one of the city paphos, limassol or larnaca, choose paphos. I personally liked paphos the best. On other note, there are alot of tours both land and sea from paphos which makes it an ideal place to base yourself in.
2) Google maps don't really work in Cyprus, so if you want to travel by buses use cyprus by bus app or google cyprus intercity buses for timetables and location of bus stop. Be warned..... these apps are not very good but they are all you have.
Cyprus is a jewel of the eastern Mediterranean. This country has historical, mythical and cultural destinations: visitors can visit various archaeological sites or opt for other outdoor activities such as annual festivals, hiking, water sports and places of interest to see in Chipe. One place that, despite being small, has gained a lot of notoriety is Cyprus. Famous for its beauty since ancient times, this country is famous all over the world.
The best local beach if you want to get away from the resort and get back to nature, Konnos has a narrow semi-circle of sparkling white sands and crystal clear waters. This bay is surrounded by long rocky spurs that help protect the beach from prevailing currents and winds. Yachts often dock in the bay and these shallows are perfect for snorkeling and swimming.
Facilities are a bit more sparse than Ayia Napa's resort beaches, but you can still hire jet skis here or grab a bite to eat at the beachside bars.
