Mount Olympus, also known as Chionistra, is the highest point in Cyprus, standing tall at 1,952 metres (6,404 feet) in the heart of the Troodos Mountains. When you visit, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of rugged landscapes and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea in the distance. If you decide to visit Mount Olympus in the winter, you can enjoy skiing at the resort, which consists of the Sun Valley and North Face areas. Operated by the Cyprus Ski Club, the resort offers a variety of ski lifts and slopes catering to different skill levels. In addition to skiing and hiking, the mountain holds historical significance, with the late first-century geographer Strabo reporting a temple dedicated to Aphrodite Acraea on one of its promontories. Experience the beauty and history of Mount Olympus during your visit to Cyprus.

Once sleepy fishing villages, the fabulous beaches of fine white sand of Agia Napa and Protaras, and the coastal area of Paralimni with its hundreds of windmills, nowadays buzz with life. This area is known collectively as the Kokkinochoria, “red soil villages,” because of the rich red earth in which Cyprus’ famous potatoes are grown. Culture lovers can explore the medieval churches found in villages like Sotira or go around the folk art museums displaying rural artefacts in Deryneia and Avgorou. Children will love the Marine Life museum or the new Sea Museum, “Thalassa”, in Agia Napa, which has an amazing replica of a 4th-century trading ship which sank off the coast of Kyrenia. Or you could stop at the tiny estuary known by the locals as Potamos and watch the fishing boats haul in their catch in their multi-coloured baskets. Spend the day sunbathing at the beach, swimming in warm turquoise waters or taking a short cruise along the coast. Some of the best snorkelling and diving spots are at Cape Greco, the national forest park, with its secluded coves and rocky outcrops, impressive cliff-top views and sea caves. In the evening, dine at one of the many restaurants, especially the local ones in Paralimni, or jive to the latest sounds at one of the numerous nightclubs.

The Cyprus Motor Museum, founded by Mr Dimi Mavropoulos, a veteran of international and local rally racing, offers a unique experience for classic car enthusiasts. Since its opening in February 2014, the museum remains the only automobile museum in Cyprus, boasting 3,500 square metres of excellence and a vast collection of cars, including a 1912 Ford Model T roadster and a car donated by the US government to Cyprus President Makarios III. Visitors can enjoy a variety of events throughout the year, including exhibitions, fashion shows, and photoshoots. For a truly memorable experience, rent a classic car, bus, or motorbike for your wedding, city tour, or special day photoshoot. With a well-curated collection and clear signage, the Cyprus Motor Museum is a must-visit gem for car lovers and tourists alike.

The Planty Park is a 4-kilometre long, horseshoe shaped park that encircles the Old Town. This is a perfect place for a relaxing stroll or a lunch on one of the many benches in the shadow, to take a pause from the daily sightseeing.
