Eleven destination guides covering the whole island, each with its own tours, sights, transport, travel guide and seasons pages.
Cyprus divides naturally into four travelling regions. Most first trips combine one coastal base with the Troodos Mountains; ten days to two weeks is enough to sample them all.
Nine destinations are in the Republic of Cyprus (euro). Two — Kyrenia and Famagusta & Salamis — are in the north, administered by the Turkish Cypriot authorities (Turkish lira), and are reached through crossing points; they are labelled throughout the site.
Paphos and its UNESCO sites, the wild Akamas Peninsula with the Blue Lagoon, and Aphrodite’s Rock on the coast road east.
