Holidays in Cyprus - From Adventure to Relaxation

If you're thinking about booking your holidays in Cyprus but you've never visited the island before, rest assured that there are plenty of great reasons to visit this Mediterranean getaway. Cyprus is a popular location for holidaymakers from all over the world due to its easy accessibility from Europe, Africa and Asia. Because Cyprus sits between all three of these continents, it benefits from great weather all through the year, with temperatures rarely dropping below 16 degrees even in winter.

The abundant sunshine in Cyprus and the huge amount of certified blue flag beaches make it the ideal place to take water-based, sporting and activity holidays. Water sports and golf are widely available, as well as other more specialised sports such as paragliding and rock climbing. You can also enjoy hiking and biking in Cyprus, with plenty of trails to enjoy and spectacular scenery too.

Skiing in Cyprus - Snow joke!

However, despite its temperate climate, Cyprus also offers a range of winter sports too - the mountainous regions still enjoy snow during the colder months, due to the altitude. This means that if you like to ski or snowboard, you can visit Cyprus for some winter fun, while also knowing that if you want to warm yourself back up, you can travel away from the mountains for a day on the beach or some sightseeing in a more clement atmosphere.

Find the Right Accommodation

The type of holiday you enjoy here can also depend on the accommodation you choose. There are many Cyprus hotels that offer packages for various sporting holidays, so you can book a hotel that's set up for the sort of sport that you're seeking. If you like a more relaxing kind of break, you will easily be able to find a Cyprus hotel that can cater for exactly that too. Cyprus does downtime very well, so look out for a Cyprus hotel with a spa on site, where you can lounge by the pool, sink into the jacuzzi or melt away your worries with an aromatherapy massage.

The best thing about holidays in Cyprus is that they are ideal for anyone. It's part of the reason that so many people flock to this wonderful island. For tourists who like a bit of action, there are plenty of adventures available to keep your days full and your heart pumping. For travellers who just want to relax, Cyprus and its inimitable beauty make the ideal setting for long days of lounging in the sun.
