Cyprus Travel
Mythology holds that Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, sprang full-blown from the sea below the cliffs of Cyprus and such legends are easy to believe while traveling in this enchanting Mediterranean island. Brilliant blue sea, dramatic cliffs and rock formations, deep gorges, wildflowers so brightly colored that they seem to be lit from within – all these natural wonders underlie a land that is centuries deep in history. Its important historic sites represent eras and cultures that span from prehistoric times to its unfortunate 20th-century division. In these pages, discover a Neolithic village, Roman ruins, architecture from the Venetian Republic and even reminders of Richard the Lion Heart.
