Cyprus is an island located in the
eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is accessible from Asia, Africa and Europe.
Cyprus became a republic in 1960 after gaining independence from the United
Kingdom. From 1974, Cyprus has
experienced a de facto partition with Greek Cypriots in the south controlling
63 per cent of the Island and Turkish Cypriots in the north controlling 37 per
cent. Cyprus has seen many invaders
come and go, but it has stood the test of time through thick and thin and
prides to be one of the best tourist attraction in the area. Mycenean Greeks,
Persians, Crusaders, Ottoman, British and Russian expats have all invaded Cyprus at one time in history and left
their mark for all to see. Today, the Republic of Cyprus has a central government with the president being the head
of state as well as the head of government. Even though the Republic is
internationally recognised, its jurisdiction extends only to the government
controlled area of the Greeks Cypriots and not to the Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus which is only recognised by
Turkey and controlled by the Turkish Cypriots. But contrary to that obnoxious
past, lies a beautiful Island with astounding and gleaming beaches and blue
seas. It is always summer here, and it is a perfect getaway if you want to have
total relaxation.
Paphos
Paphos is located on the southwest
coast of Cyprus Island. It is
divided from the north by the Trodoos Mountains. It is a cosmopolitan resort,
and its visitors are able to enjoy both the sea and the mountains at the same
time. It prides in rich cultures, which are of great interest to the many
visitors. Its beautiful weather makes it a favourite destination for thousands
of tourists. With most areas in Europe and other surrounding areas not
experiencing sunshine for some months, tourists enjoy the beautiful sunshine in
Paphos. The Tombs of the Kings which
is a UNESCO World Heritage Site is only two miles from this beautiful city. Apart
from the favourable weather, there are historic sites, beautiful countryside
and sporting events that make this a must visit place. Some of the sporting
activities offered at Paphos are
horse riding, hiking or cycling in the beautiful countryside. Water sports and golf
courses are also available to ensure that you enjoy to the fullest.
