The Edro III Shipwreck is one of Cyprus’ few coastal shipwrecks visible without getting wet. Nevertheless, divers should also be excited by what lies beneath the surface. Stranded just 20 metres offshore near Pafos’s sea caves since 2011, this 83-metre freighter tilts at an angle, its hull rusting into abstract patterns against the limestone cliffs. The Sierra Leone-flagged vessel ran aground in a storm while transporting plasterboard to Rhodes, its crew rescued by British forces. For divers, the wreck offers a rare shallow exploration (5 metres at its deepest). The propeller remains intact, though a gaping hole in the starboard side reveals corroded forklifts frozen mid-task. Schools of fish dart through the skeletal frame, while scattered debris leads to two nearby reefs: one culminating in a sea cave, the other dropping into an 18-metre gully. Above water, the wreck’s industrial starkness against the Mediterranean blues makes it a magnet for sunset photographers. Local operators run guided dives, but even snorkellers can appreciate the eerie spectacle. With removal deemed impractical, Edro III seems destined to remain Cyprus’ most accessible maritime time capsule.

Situated in Gammelstad, the open-air museum Hägnan serves as a cultural-historical knowledge centre, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of the North-Brabant coastal region. The museum features well-preserved buildings dating from the 1700s to the 20th century, creating an immersive village experience that brings history to life. In the summer, Hägnan transforms into a lively space with the addition of animals, including pigs, sheep, rabbits, and chickens, providing a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. As winter arrives, Hägnan becomes a festive hub with a Christmas market and a splendid fire festival.

Hala Sultan Tekke, situated on the west bank of the Larnaca Salt Lake, about 6 kilometres southwest of Larnaca, is a mosque and tekke complex that holds significant importance in Islam. The mosque was built just before 1787, and its current structure was completed in 1816. The complex is set amidst a beautiful garden and stands as a symbol of tranquillity. Ranked as the fourth most important holy place of worship in the religion, the mosque is built over the tomb of Umm Haram, the foster-mother of the Prophet Mohammed and wife of Ubada bin al-Samit, a high-ranking officer who led raids against Cyprus in the 7th century. While visiting the mosque, take the opportunity to explore the picturesque Larnaca Salt Lake, located just a short five-minute walk away.

Frisbee + Golf = Discgolf Just like with golf, you make your play from a starting zone. Instead of a golf ball, a frisbee disc glides through the air; instead of a hole, it lands in a catch-basket. The objective is to "sink" your frisbee with as few tosses as possible. So much for the distinctions. Both sports require patience, concentration and steadiness, those are the sporting virtues they have in common. 18-hole downhill course You tee off at 1,850 meters altitude at the mountain terminal of the Sonnkogelbahn. Then you work your way hole by hole down to the Sonnenalm at 1,400 meters.
