Things to do in Cyprus
A holiday in Cyprus is as idyllic as it sounds. The blue waters, sandy beaches and sunny days make the island a sought-after holiday destination.
Getting these is also not difficult as Larnaca International Airport is the primary commercial airport in Cyprus. The only other international airport on Cyprus is the Paphos International Airport in the southwest of the island.
After arriving at Larnaca you need to check through immigration and collect your baggage before proceeding to the main part of the terminal where the adventure you’ve been looking forward to begins.
The first decision that you’ll need to make is which of the many attraction you want to visit first. This will influence your decision to use public transport or to use the car hire Larnaca airport option. The public transport option is a good one as the system is regular and reliable. However, having a vehicle at your beck and call, means that there are no unnecessary constraints to your holiday making.
The car hire at Larnaca airport is a very good choice as the car rental dealerships offer a variety of discounted prices and special offers all year round. You can also choose from many different makes and models in order to find a vehicle that suits your needs.
Climbing into your car, the first priority is getting a taste of traditional Cypriot food like “mezedez” and “halloumi”. Once your hunger has been sated, you can start considering the options in attractions that face you. There are the Troodos Mountains waiting to be explored, along with the various little villages around it. Alternatively, for a taste of history, there is the ancient city Kourion with is ancient villas and Christian Basilica. Along with this bit of history are the Byzantine Monasteries that were founded around the 4th century. Finally there are the Tombs of the Kings, situated in the northwest necropolis of Paphos.
This is but an appetiser of all the wonderful sights in Cyprus. Together with lazy days next to the ocean or swimming the beautiful blue seas under cloudless blue skies, the tourist attractions make for interesting and collectable memories.
One never wants to end such a wonderful holiday, but soon the time comes that you have to pack your bags, find space for all your memorabilia and head back to Larnaca International Airport to catch your flight back home. The stay in a country with such rich history and breathtaking beauty can only leave you refreshed and ready for the daily grind of life at home. It will also leave you with a yearning for something that only the island of Cyprus can offer you: contentment.
