Cyprus, part of the Commonwealth and the European Union, is a much loved island for Brits, not only for the character of its people and fascinating scenery, but also for the hospitality shown to them. There are British marks all over the island, so much so, that ex-pats normally feel at home almost immediately.

Driving on the left, road signs in English and Greek, similar legal systems and widely spoken English.   As the Overseas Market grows, Cyprus is near the top of the list for investment, holiday and retirement purchases.

In the far eastern corner of the Mediterranean, Cyprus is at the cross roads of Europe, Africa and Asia. The third largest island in the Mediterranean, it covers an area of 9,250 km² and measures 240 kms east to west and 96 kms from north to south.

The birth of the island was the result of a series of unique and complicated geological events. Due to this, Cyprus has become an international geological showcase, comprising the central Messaoria plain with the Kyrenia and Troodos mountain ranges to north and south. Thanks to its unique terrain, it is possible in winter to go skiing in the Troodos and beach bathing on the same day.

According to legend, many of the ancient cities of Cyprus were founded by the heroes of the Trojan War. Assyrians, Phoenicians, Egyptians and Persians at some point have passed through the island. Cyprus was part of the Roman Empire for four centuries and you can see the evidence in some of the temples, palaces, amphitheatres and baths that excavations have uncovered. Just as magnificent are the early Christian Basilicas, Byzantine churches that house beautiful mosaics and icons as well as Nicosia’s Venetian walls.

A trip to the Troodos mountains provides a refreshing change from the heat of the beaches, with delightfully fresh air, cool nights scented with the aroma of pine trees and wild herbs. The fruit blossom in the fertile valleys has to be seen to be believed, cherry, apply, pear, plum, almond.  

The mountains are dotted with picturesque little villages where true Cypriot hospitality abounds, where the donkey is a cherished beast of burden and where the lovely village wine can be sampled.

Apart from sightseeing, most visitors want to enjoy the sea and the beaches; every facility for water sports of all kinds is available; skiing, diving, sailing, wind-surfing etc. But if it is just swimming and sunbathing, the island’s coast is indented with numerous secluded coves where you can have a ‘beach to yourself’.

In the evenings what better than to start by sampling the delights of a Cypriot restaurant?   There are so many dishes to try: meze, Cyprus’ magnificent glorified hors d’oeurves, more than a meal in itself; koupepia, afelia, kebabs, moussaka, and many more; and delicious wines to accompany them! There are restaurants to suite every taste; with international cuisine, Chinese and Indian restaurants offering authentic dishes prepared by their own chefs, to the humble snack bar providing hamburgers and hot dogs.

Pafos and District

Pafos, Capital of Cyprus in Roman times, port for pilgrims visiting the Shrine of Aphrodite and an important tourist centre .

The Harbour, built in the time of Alexander the Great; St. Paul’s Pillar to which St Paul was tied and scourged; Petra tou Romiou, where Aphrodite emerged from the waves; Kouklia (old Pafos) and the Temple of Aphrodite.   The forest, home of the Moufflon, neighbouring banana plantations and vineyards.   Pafos Fort, located on Pafos’ picturesque harbour, was originally built by the Ottomans in 1592 on the site of a medieval castle.  

Pafos Mosaics, included in the UNESCO list of World Monuments, date from the 3^rd to the 5^th century AD.   The remains of villas have impressive mosaic floors and are named after the figures shown in them, the mosaics portray images from Greek Mythology.  

Pafos Odeon; Forty Columns, was built in the 13^th century to protect the harbour.   Tombs of the Kings, an impressive site built between the 3^rd century BC and 3^rd century AD. contains over 100 tombs.  

Latsi (Latchi) is a pretty fishing village on the north west coast, an easy drive from Pafos. Before tourism reached Latsi its main industry was the exportation of sea sponges. The main focal point is the fishing harbour with its boats bobbing gently on the clear water, weighed down by the day’s catch. Fresh fish can be sampled in one of the many stone built tavernas that surround the harbour, they are very popular with the locals too!

Sun worshipers will appreciate the beaches nestling on the Akamas National park with its cool waters and gentle breezes. At night Latsi is a hive of activity with night cruises, local discos and a selection of bars and restaurants to choose from.

Polis is a country village deriving its name from the Greek word for city and is the shortened version of Polis Chrysohou which translates to ‘the City of the Golden Land’ after the fertile land surrounding the river Chrysochou. There are no large hotels so you can step into a world away from mass tourism and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this small but attractive village.

Famagusta and District

This area includes some of the loveliest, silvery, sandy beaches on the island and crystal clear waters. Cape Greco one of the national parks, is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty.   There are numerous nature trails that can be followed leading to magnificent cliff edges with amazing views over the Mediterranean. Other bays of note include; Konnos Bay, Fig Tree Bay and Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa. This has been transformed from a sleepy fishing village into a lively resort that has something for all ages and, contrary to popular belief, this cosmopolitan town isn’t all about bars for the young!   Ayia Napa is full of history and tradition; the centre of the town is built around a medieval Monastery that has been well preserved over the centuries and a visit here is like stepping back in time. The fishing harbour is beautiful; it has been pedestrianised and features cafes and fish tavernas. Beautifully illuminated at night, the area is a perfect setting for a romantic meal or a stroll.

The church of   Ayia Thekla is one of the oldest spots in the area. A small sandy beach also lies here with a tiny island   off shore that keeps the waves away. This rare combination of history and natural beauty is considered by many to be an ideal place to live.

There are many lovely villages, of varying sizes, in the area and each has its own distinctive character and local amenities such as; Derinia, Sotira, Frenaros, Liopetri, Xylofago and of course the lovely family resort of Protoras to name just a few.

Between the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca, south of the Costa Calida, we find the Province of Almeria which covers an area of nearly 9,000 square kilometres and comprises a great many geographic contrasts, including long beaches with small coves, large desert areas and areas of varied vegetation, with high mountains, extensive valleys and plains.

Almeria enjoys a warm and dry Mediterranean climate, the driest in Europe in fact, with little rain and more than 3,000 hours of sun per year.This climate allows visitors to enjoy all aspects of the province at any time of the year.

Almeria province, long appreciated by the Spanish, is now very much on the list of destinations for the discerning holidaymaker and also for longer term residents. Until recently Almeria was less accessible than some other Spanish destinations, a fact which has undoubtedly helped to shield it from the excesses of tourism and allowed it to remain the unspoilt, peaceful place it is today. There are now however, daily domestic and international flights from the airports at Almeria, Murcia and Alicante.

The Costa Almeria has many fine sandy beaches with clear water and you can still find some deserted beaches farther along the coast.   It’s also well worth exploring the dramatic scenery inland.  Visit the stunning Alpujarra mountains or visit the desert areas of the Campo de Tabernas with its Wild West landscapes; not surprisingly, there’s a thriving film industry here. Only a short journey away are the winter ski resorts of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which offer all of the facilities you would expect from a modern ski resort.

Mojacar, ancient in origin and Arabic in appearance, is undoubtedly the most cosmopolitan town in the whole region.   It spills down the side of a hill on the lower slopes of the Sierra Cabrera.   In spite of the slow destruction that it has been subjected to over the centuries, it preserves its spectacular structure of stepped terraces and charming narrow streets. On the coast are more than 5kms of beachfront, along which there has been considerable development. However, there are 12km of virgin beaches and coves which reach to the borders of the Cabo de Gata natural park.

Geographically situated in the South-East of the province of Almeria, Moj√°car possesses a comprehensive communications network which makes it easily accessible from anywhere in the country.   It is just 90 km. by motorway from the provincial capital (about 50 minutes), and the A7 connects it with the whole of the South and East of Spain and beyond. New high speed rail lines to Madrid have now been announced too.

Moj√°car’s privileged position on the coast gave it great strategic importance.   It was the birthplace of the Argaric culture, and later received peoples like the Phoenicians, the great traders, and the Romans, who left valuable evidence of their presence in the Barranco de la Ciudad and in a tile deposit at the foot of Moj√°car La Vieja.

After the Visigoths, who stayed here until the 8^th century, came the Moors.   It was under their dominion that the population was to experience a period of splendour accompanied by the construction of watch-towers and one of the most impressive water cisterns in the old Kingdom of Granada.

In 1488 Moj√°car passed from Moorish to Christian hands, and was repopulated by one hundred families originating in the Kingdom of Murcia, whose loyalty during the Alpujarras rebellion won for them the two-headed eagle motif on their coat-of-arms, the symbol of the House of Austria.

The 19^th century began with the War of Independence (Peninsular War), and 1812 was the blackest year in Moj√°car’s contemporary history due to epidemics. In the 1840s, the discovery of silver in the Sierra Almagrera again brought prosperity, an upturn that its tourist potential has maintained to the present day.

In 1940 three men arrived in Moj√°car dressed in strange grey suits. They said they were representatives of Walt Disney Studios and were looking for the birth certificate of Josẻ       Guirao Samora, born in Moj√°car in 1901.   They claimed that this Almerian villager and the American genius of cartoon productionfame were one and the same person.

From the Mirador (viewing point) of Plaza Nueva, where the 18I^th century Ermita de los Dolores (Hermitage of the Agony), there is a magnificent view of the Valle de las Pir√°mides) and of the area previously occupied by Moj√°car la Vieja.   The visitor can also enjoy a fine view of the coast from the Mirador del Castillo, the highest point in the village.

A walk around the Arrabal, the old Jewish quarter made up of labyrinthine streets, holds special charm, as does the old route leading to the twelve-tubed Fuente Mora (Moorish Fountain), where women still wash clothes at dusk.

The southern zone of Moj√°car allows for wilder, more adventurous enjoyment of the coastline paradise, where calas (small bays) like Bordenares, El Lance or Cala Granatilla display immaculate natural beauty and rich marine life.  

Moj√°car cuisine, although faithful to the sea which provides its fresh fish, is very much tied to the land and its produce. Crayfish, red prawns, grouper fish and red mullet make up the dishes which delight the most demanding of palates with the sheer flavour of local produce.

But it is the fruit and vegetables and their local transformation which confer a real identity on the area’s gastronomy. Tourists should not, therefore, be surprised to find a number of ‘poor people’s dishes’ on the menu.

Just a few kms. away, near the Playa de los Muertos (Beach of the Dead) and the Faro de Mesa Rold√°n (Mesa Rold√°n Lighthouse) is the village of Agua Amarga, where remains are kept of mining archaeology.   Agua Amarga is also the starting point for visiting the fascinating Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, notable for countryside like that at Rodalquilar, with its abandoned gold mines.

This Natural Park, not far from the impressive Genoveses beach, is the perfect backdrop for active tourism pursuits like walking, mountain bike trekking or scuba-diving, and is also a paradise for ornithologists, containing species like the pink flamingo.

From the coast at Moj√°car, going past the golf course at Marina de la Torre, the Palacio de los Ch√°varri or the protected area at Lagunas del rio Aguas, the tourist arrives at Garrucha, a village which for three centuries was the cause of disagreements between Vera and Moj√°car over their respective municipal boundaries. Garrucha is notable for its fishing, trading and recreational harbour, its fine promenade built from Macael marble, and its Ermita del Carmen (Hermitage of the Virgin of the Villa).

From Vera the road leads to the Cuevas (Caves) de Almanzora, a real open air archaeological museum, with an ancient area of great distinction.   This patrimonial wealth is shown in the caves dating from the Neolithic period, the troglodyte necropolis and living areas, the Castle of the Marquis of Vélez and the Casa de la Tercia (House of the Tierce).

The town of Vera is very prosperous and has many stores; it is rich in handicrafts and is renowned for its high-class cuisine.   There are many traditional Spanish ‘Tapas’ Bars as well as the fancy restaurants and the friendliness and hospitality of the inhabitants of Vera make this town especially attractive for residents and visitors alike.   There is also a street market every week.

If it is a more peaceful and tranquil environment that you seek, then inland from Punta del Rey and Vera is the ideal location.   Here, the towns and villages show little sign of tourism, and the many customs and traditions of the area are a constant source of delight for all.
