LUXURY HOTELS IN CYPRUS

Visitors flock to the island of Cyprus to enjoy almost-guaranteed sunshine, a plethora of tavernas and endless choice of resort activities. But it would be a mistake to dismiss Cyprus as simply another Mediterranean beach destination. Yes, there are golf courses galore, spas and children's clubs at family-friendly resorts, but this is an island with a distinct personality, not least due to the hospitable nature of the Cypriots themselves. Venture inland and the roads quickly climb to pine-scented forests, cooling streams and waterfalls and sleepy hamlets where lace is made according to age old tradition and tavernas host lengthy lunches.
