According to legend, Aphrodite, goddess of love, was born from the foam at a point where the water flows over rocks on the coast of Paphos. That is why Cyprus was called "the island of love", a charm that would continue long through legends like throughout history. Then ambitious nations coveted its strategic importance, as well as its rich copper mines and forests of pine and cedar.
Land where the sun all year around, Cyprus offers a change of scenery, both in its rural landscapes, mountain and marine. But this independent republic, both Greek, Eastern and cosmopolitan door injury: a true Greek tragedy plays on both sides of the Green Line that divides Nicosia, the capital, turning it into a Berlin Mediterranean.
Traveling from east to west, from Ayia Napa to Polis, staying on the coast does not mean seeing Cyprus. Stay on the island enough time to enjoy it. Visit ancient castles, monasteries, hill stations, forests, admire the wildflowers of spring, see ancient farming methods. And do not be surprised if you greet a stranger on the street; it is in good manners in this country to welcome the stranger with a smile.
