History

With a history spanning 9000 years, Cyprus can trace cultures ranging from the Persians, Greeks, Romans and Crusaders. Rich in archaeological treasures, Paphos, the old Roman capital plays host to some of the greatest ancient monuments, including beautiful mosaics and a fort in the picturesque harbour.

The old quarter of the modern day capital, Nicosia, is surrounded by a 16th century circular wall and St Johnâs Cathedral, which resembles an English village church where can be seen an an enormous statue of Archbishop Makarios.

Inland, the Troodos Mountains are green & cool (a sharp contrast to the sunbaked hills near the coast). Steep, twisting roads climb past red-roofed villages, forests and vineyards to Mount Olympus, the highest point at over 600 feet.
