Across the island

13 places
National park · Protaras

Cape Greco

A national forest park of sea caves, cliff jumps and trails between Ayia Napa and Protaras.

Dive site · Larnaca

Zenobia Wreck

A 178-metre ferry on its side ten minutes off Larnaca — consistently ranked among the world’s top ten wreck dives.

Marina · Limassol

Limassol Marina

The first super-yacht marina in Cyprus — shops, restaurants and residences on the water.

Promenade · Limassol

Molos Promenade

The seafront park and walkway that runs to the marina — sculpture, lawns, sea on one side.

Nature · Paphos

Akamas Peninsula

230 square kilometres of untouched headland — the last large unspoiled coast on the island, and a Natura 2000 site.

Nature · Paphos

Avakas Gorge

A 3km limestone canyon on the edge of the Akamas — two to three hours on foot, best in spring and autumn.

Harbour · Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa Harbour

Limanaki — kaikia and yachts on turquoise water, fish taverns along the quay, a wedding chapel in the middle.

Old town · Nicosia

Laiki Geitonia

Restored lanes inside the walls, taverns and souvenir shops, and the city’s main tourist office.

Landmark · Paphos

Paphos Harbour and Port

One of the most ancient ports on the island, first built in 320 BC and still in the same place — with the castle at the end of the quay.

Landmark · Larnaca

Piale Pasha Promenade

Larnaca's first seafront street, running on from Foinikoudes past the fish tavernas — quieter than the palm promenade, and better at sunset.

Nature · Larnaca

Larnaca Salt Lake

Four connected lakes covering 2.2 km² beside the airport road — dry and white in summer, and full of flamingos from November.

Park · Limassol

Limassol Municipal Garden

A recently renovated garden on the coastal road in the middle of the city — shade, an open-air theatre and the wine festival each September.
