Sunny Cyprus
Cyprus is one of those rare places that has a little bit of everything – an island encircled by white sandy beaches, warm, clear waters and a smattering of palm tree-lined promenades.
It’s a popular destination for both family holidays and quiet breaks, as well as an ideal location for weddings, as the birthplace of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite.
Cyprus is particularly well-known for its vibrant nightlife in the resort of Ayia Napa, which never fails to draw large crowds throughout the summer months.
