Top 10 attractions of the area

Top 10 attractions of the area

Troodos Mountains
Well maintained trails wind up through the slopes of these ancient mountains past Byzantine churches and black pine trees. Surrounding the area, you will be able to enjoy the sights and smells of nearby cedar and pine forests. All of the painted churches of the Troodos are little gems of craftsmanship set in breathtaking scenery. Panayia tou Araka - the church of Our Lady of the Pea - is a superb example and one of ten painted churches on the UNESCO world heritage site list. The church itself is tiny and is dwarfed by its snow proof roof and the wooden trellis that surrounds it. However, when you walk inside, the vibrant colours and the number of frescoes takes your breath away. In winter Mount Olympus plays host to hundreds of skiers.

 


Places of intrest

Kourion/Kolossi Castle
Ancient Kourion and the castle at Kolossi are both in the Limassol area and can be visited together in a day. They are just two examples of the wealth of history to be found in Cyprus. Kourion is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites on the island. This ancient city kingdom has many ancient treasures including the Greco Roman theatre dating from the second century BC, which has been fully restored. Other sites include baths, houses - some with beautiful mosaics and a stadium. The ruins at Kourion are to be found in breathtaking scenery overlooking the sea. As it is one of Cyprus's most popular tourist attractions, it worth arriving early in high season. Kolossi Castle - here you will encounter a military site that once stood as a Crusader fortress of the Knights of St John, dating back to the 13th century.

Baths of Aphrodite
This is the natural feature carved from limestone. Legend states that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, used to take her baths here. This is where you will encounter a natural pool surrounded by plenty of land to explore.

Tomb of the Kings
Larnaca Fort

 


Shopping

SHOPPING

Lacework and embroidery, pottery and woodwork, and jewellery are the artistic heritage of Cyprus is a reflection of the islands history and traditions that have endured for centuries. Most of the raw materials used in crafts, from copper to silk and cotton, are native to Cyprus. Since 1975 the government has actively strived to preserve local craftworks by creating the Cyprus Handicraft Service. They provide goods to the large Cyprus Handicraft Centre (Lefkosia) and official craft shops.

 Children and water. We all know children and water do not mix. And holidays are so much more relaxing when children can swim. When mine were babies they learnt to swim early by wearing a poly otter costume with removable floats. As the child becomes more proficient you simply remove the floats and eventually they are swimming with no floats! Another benefit of this type of costume is that the child's arms are not restricted, as they are with arm bands. These costumes are available for babies through to adults, and there are costumes for disabled people too. Poly otter/Zoggs also have sun resistant float costumes too, including some with t shirts which could prevent children and babies getting burnt shoulders. Prices start at around £20 and GB Sports are offering 10% off and free delivery http://www.gb-sports.co.uk Tel: 01989 563723


Places of intrest contd

Paphos Harbour and Castle
The harbour at Paphos attracts visitors all year round, who take the opportunity to walk along the quay and maybe visit one of the fish restaurants, tavernas or cafes. The view is superb with lots of colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. The castle is in fact all that remains of a much earlier castle dating from 1391, which was demolished by the Venetians. The Ottomans used it as dungeons and the British as a warehouse for salt! It can be reached via a small bridge over a moat and is worth a visit for the view from the top.

Choirokitia
To go right back to Cyprus's earliest history, you need to visit the remains of stone age settlements at Choirokitia, better preserved than most other Neolithic sites in the eastern Mediterranean. The settlement dates back to sixth and seventh centuries BCstreets and lanes and a larger chieftain's mansion.

The Paphos Mosaics
A must for all visitors are the colourful and intricate Roman mosaics to be found in Paphos. They were discovered by accident in the 1960's - further excavation revealed a number of Roman houses all with spectacular mosaics, depicting scenes from ancient mythology. Harbour.

Akamas National Park
Studded with sandy bays, deep gorges and home to over 500 species of plants, 168 types of birds plus a host of other animals and insects this is a nature lover's paradise. Akamas Peninsula in the summer is frequented by turtles, which makes it extremely popular.
