Cyprus is located in the Mediterranean Sea and has an expansive coastline with a vast range of beaches from which to choose. These range from secluded bays, to lively resorts, sandy beaches and coves.
Perhaps the most well known beach is Phinikoudes Beach with its expanses of beach and blue sea. Two other popular venues are
Pernera A Beach, a golden sand beach and Kapparis Beach. Most people associate Cyprus with Ayia Napa, a Mecca for the youth contingent with entertainment 24 hours a day. However, Cyprus offers much quieter places including small villages of the Akamas Peninsula and the golden beaches of the Karpas Peninsula.
There are also many mountain ranges amid citrus groves and a fair number of medieval castles with island views. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) offers historic ruins and beaches.
The island is famous for its watersports, with waterparks and underwater worlds for snorkelling or diving. Because of the climate of steady winds and calm waters, windsurfing and sailing can be enjoyed all year round.
Culturally, Cyprus is diverse, dominated by Western Europe, but geographically very close to both Asia and Africa. Cypriots have a long heritage which is reflected in age-old crafts including the world famous lace industry.
As far as the climate goes, Cyprus holidays have a typical warm, dry Mediterranean climate, with rainfall mainly between November and March. Mild but wet winters and dry hot summers are the norm, and these are interspersed with short autumn and spring seasons. The mountains offer a different, cooler and moister temperature.
