Holiday Villas In Cyprus
The island of Cyprus straddles the boundary between Europe and West Asia, and, depending on who you ask, you will be told that it is geographically Asian or European. Perhaps this colliding of continents is one of the reasons that Cyprus has such a rich and varied culture. Cyprus is a country which has seen numerous peoples, nations, countries and empires claim its shores, and all have left their mark in one way or another. You can still find the effects of medieval battles or settlements that owe their existence to the early colonies of the Ancient Greeks. Even prehistoric villages have been found on the island, dating back to 8200 BC. Along with all of this, Cyprus benefits from stunning mountain ranges, idyllic beaches and some great nightlife, making a villa in Cyprus perfect for any holiday maker.
As far as Cyprus’ weather is concerned, you can expect a beautiful Mediterranean climate. The summers are hot and dry, perfect for escaping to the cooler mountain heights or taking a dip in the Mediterranean Sea. The summer season lasts for eight months, during which you can expect temperatures between 20°C and 30°C, though they can creep higher. What’s more, along with these glorious temperatures, you’ll get an average of 12 to 13 hours of sunshine throughout June, and can expect double the amount of sun to hit Cyprus throughout the year than London receives.
So, where can you spend these beautiful, sunny days? The middle of the island is sandwiched between two amazing mountain ranges, and our
villas in Paphos and
villas in Coral Bay are perfectly positioned for you to take advantage of the larger range, the Troodos Mountains, home to Mount Olympus. Here, you’ll find Byzantine monasteries resting on mountain peaks, picturesque villages that hold tightly to the steep slopes, terraced into farmland, and absolutely fantastic views. Walking trails through the ranges are one of Cyprus’ most popular holiday activities.
Between the two ranges is the Mesaoria plain, the most populated area of Cyprus. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is found here, and has excellent bars and restaurants within the old city. There is also the Hamam Omerye, a 14th century building that has been restored to its former glory and is the perfect place to relax within the city. You can also explore the remarkably well-preserved Venetian walls which ring the city. Our
villas in Protaras allow you to explore the Mesaoria plain during a wonderful villa holiday.
Of course, one of the main reasons that the island is such an excellent holiday destination is the coastline and the beaches that can be found all along it, and our villas in Cyprus will not let you down if that’s what you’re looking for. Placing you next to some of the best beaches that Cyprus has to offer, our holiday villas give you great access to the golden sand and warm sea of the island’s coastline. If you prefer a more isolated beach, then a short drive outside the resort will reward you with some of Cyprus’ many untouched coves and isolated bays.
With something to offer everyone, Cyprus is an incredible holiday destination, combining wonderful beaches, rich heritage and great local flavours into one great package.
