Cyprus Popular Destinations
Agia Napa One of Cypress top tourist attractions. Thirty years ago this seaside resort town did not exist. Today its excellent beaches, hotels, restaurants and superb clubs are the best the country has to offer.
Larnaka A popular coastal town with a fort dating back to the 15th century as well as the underground biblical city of Kition.
Paphos On the west coast of the island, the town of Paphos attracts many tourists due to its favourable location near many other charming seaside towns. Vouni Panayia Winery is located east of the city and is a great place to sample the local wines. Coral Bay to the north is the place to go if diving is your passion with many dive shops that offer courses and excursions.
