Cyprus (Europe)
According to legend, Aphrodite, the goddess of Love, was born in the foam of the waves off the Cypriot coast. If that is not enough motivation to explore this hidden island in the eastern Mediterranean, one can add a strong argument: with an average of 340 days of sunshine per year, Cyprus is the all-season destination par excellence. This beautiful island stranger, geopolitically cut in two, looks like a Corsica that would have been tilted at 45 degrees. Mediterranean vegetation and landscapes, delicious cuisine with mixed influences, mountain ranges cut out for hiking and a coastline surrounded by beautiful beaches (pebbles and sand), everything is in place for a dream holiday. And for lovers of old stones, a plethora of heritage treasures,including Byzantine remains in the
Troodos massif
and the ancient city of
Salamis
.
Best time to travel there:
