It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here are seven must-see sites in Cyprus.
In the southeast, Cape Greco is best known for its sea caves (also known as fairy caves), strikingly cut into limestone cliffs. The region is also a designated Important Bird Area for its role in the migrations of red-footed falcons, honey buzzards and more.

Limassol may be “newer” compared to other parts of Cyprus, but it’s still got a wealth of landmarks and experiences. The city has seen crusaders, Venetian rulers, Ottoman Emperors and beyond, and you’ll see evidence of these different periods in the city’s architecture, monuments and museums. © Kirill Makarov | Dreamstime.com
Did you know Cyprus has its own donkey breed? The Cyprus donkey has played a significant role in Cypriot rural life since prehistoric times, and feral donkeys remain today, particularly in the more mountainous regions of Karpasia and Akamas. © Millennials | Dreamstime.com
Nea Paphos was the island’s capital under Roman and Ptolemaic rule, and you can explore the remains of the ancient city at Paphos Archaeological Park. Well-preserved buildings, residences, tombs and villas with intricate floor mosaics span the site, most dating back to the fourth century.

The capital of Cyprus, Nicosia has been a hub for more than 5,000 years, featuring medieval churches and walls, British colonial buildings, and modern streets. Popular attractions include the Cyprus museum, theaters, art galleries, mosques and cathedrals, and the iconic umbrella-shaded street in the Arasta Street bazaar area. © Kirill Makarov | Dreamstime.com
Yes, even the ancient Greeks played a role in Cypriot history. Kourion, on the southwestern coast, was an ancient Greek city-state. The surviving archaeological site is home to the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates, a theater, a gate cemetery, forum baths and “House of the Gladiators.” © Kirill Makarov | Dreamstime.com
Take a boat tour to Ayia Napa Blue Lagoon, a popular attraction known for its bold blue waters. The site is also perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with many boat tours allocating time for water activities. © Ben Mobley | Dreamstime.com

It’s a truth universally acknowledged: Not every trip is created equal. Some are for family or social obligations, where the tropical island remains largely unexplored in lieu of birthday lunches, rehearsal dinners or your cousin’s graduation ceremony. Others are strictly business, where the nearby ski resort seems as hypothetical as your Q4 plans on the whiteboard in the corporate boardroom. Of course, the best trips are strictly for pleasure — the long-awaited vacation you’ve plotted (and saved airline miles) for months on end.
