| Cyprus is an island of breathtaking scenery, with beautiful sandy beaches set against a landscape of rugged cliffs, dense pine forests, field after field of vines, citrus and banana trees, and 127 endemic flower varieties found nowhere else in the world. Steeped in mythology and widely believed to be Anthony's gift to Cleopatra and the birthplace of Aphrodite, this island, with its high standard of modern-day living, still retains a strong sense of the historic - in the smaller mountain villages, it is as though time has stood still for centuries.
Probably one of the nicest areas of Cyprus is the western region of Paphos and, as this is also the area from which we source most of our property developments, we have focussed only on the Paphos Region in this mini-guide. However, you can access lots more travel, historical and political information about Cyprus as a whole via our Useful links section. In summary, you will find that the local people are friendly and welcoming, and that English is widely spoken throughout the island. The currency is in pounds and cents in the same denominations as the British pounds and pence, driving is on the left, electricity is 240v using 3-pin plugs and telecommunication services are good. No vaccinations are required and both public and private healthcare services are of a high standard. Recognised as the most sun-sure spot in the eastern mediterranean, Cyprus enjoys an average of 340 sunny days per year and low annual rainfall. |
