Bring Back Pleasant Memories With These Enticing Cyprus Tourist Attractions

Cyprus tourist attractions...there's a myriad of things to discover and explore in Cyprus and these are just a sampler of some of them.

Culture and tradition play a big part in the Cypriot lifestyle. You can be part of this with the abundance of music and sports festivals that take place throughout the calendar year. In fact, these festivals account for the bulk of the attractions.

There’s no contesting that the wine of Cyprus is some of the best in the world. In Cyprus, fine wine has been perfected since the time of the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and even Egyptians. Cyprus is the Island of Aphrodite, and how better to experience love than the Lemesos Wine Festival! A typical evening at the festival includes music, celebration,dancing, and lots and lots of wine!

Don’t drink too much wine, because you may want to get to the Troodos Mountains the next day for excitement and adventure!

Another one of the great Cyprus tourist attractions would be Water World Waterpark in Ayia Napa. Experience the Kamikaze rides, Poseidon’s Wave Pool and the Trojan Adventure. An interactive play centre for kids.

If you’re looking for a little peace and tranquility after the adventure of the Cyprus water park, go to Ancient Salamis. This is one of Cyprus’s prime archaeological sites. Check out the gymnasium, baths and amphitheatre where the earliest archeological finds go back to the eleventh century BCE (Late Bronze Age III).

For the younger couples, there are fast boat safaris that take you around the secluded sea caves and the harbour. These boats are high speed, ex-Formula 3 offshore boats that can travel at over 60 mph, so do be warned! For all you thrill seekers, there is Bungee Jumping in Ayia Napa. You can jump above the sea from 200ft alone, or if not feeling that brave, you can always do the tandem jump.

Fig Tree Bay is just up the road. You can choose to lie on the beach, or experience the more high-octane water sports available. Add to that the fabulous restaurants and shops, and you’ll never want to leave!

Take a look at the famous ghost town of Famagusta. After being evacuated following bombing by the Turkish air-force, the town has remained a ghost town and a fascination for travelers. This is one of the key Cyprus tourist attractions.

“Today, September 1977, the breakfast tables are still set, the laundry still hanging and the lamps still burning. Famagusta is a ghost-town.”

I'll be adding more and more things to do Cyprus over time. However, if you just fancy viewing some more tourist attractions or getting more detail. Then grab a FREE travel brochure from these reputable and trusted companies in Cyprus.
