Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de Cyprus
Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean, the third largest in the region. It is a land of natural beauty and rich culture, where ancient myths, archaeological ruins, Byzantine churches and beaches with turquoise waters are intertwined. Officially divided, it offers a fascinating cultural duality in an environment of perennial sunshine.
Live the unique experience of crossing on foot the 'Green Line' that divides the capital. Walking along Ledra Street, the main pedestrian crossing, allows you to explore both sides of the city: the Republic of Cyprus to the south and the area occupied by Türkiye to the north. It is a fascinating and sobering look at the island's complex modern history.
Visit Petra tou Romiou, the legendary rock where, according to mythology, the goddess Aphrodite emerged from the sea. Swimming around the rock is said to bring eternal love and beauty. The mythological route can be completed with a visit to the Baths of Aphrodite, a natural grotto on the Akamas Peninsula.
Meze is not a dish, it is a culinary and social experience. It consists of a succession of up to 20 small dishes that fill the table, from sauces and salads to grilled meats and fish. Ordering a meze in a traditional tavern is the best way to taste the diversity of Cypriot cuisine.
Escape the heat of the coast and enter the cool pine forests of the Troodos Mountains. The region is home to charming stone villages such as Omodos and Kakopetria, the imposing Kykkos Monastery and ten painted Byzantine churches, declared World Heritage Sites for their colorful frescoes.
Take a boat from the port of Latchi to reach the Blue Lagoon, on the Akamas Peninsula. This protected bay boasts the clearest, turquoise waters on the island, perfect for swimming and snorkeling in a pristine natural environment. It is an image of a Mediterranean paradise.
Adopt the local rhythm of life, 'siga-siga' (slowly, slowly), sitting in a 'kafenio' (traditional cafe) in a town square. Ordering a Cypriot coffee or an iced frappe and spending time playing tavli (backgammon) or simply watching life go by is immersing yourself in the authentic culture of the island.

Ver guía completaRemember that Cyprus drives on the left, a legacy of British rule. Renting a car is the best way to explore the island freely, but it requires an adjustment period.
Apart from car rental, there is an intercity bus network that connects the main cities and is quite economical. Within cities, local buses are the main public transportation option.
The official languages are Greek and Turkish. However, English is spoken fluently by the vast majority of the population, especially in tourist areas, so communication is very simple.
