Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in the warmest part of the sea - the eastern part, where the swimming season lasts longer than at other resorts - from May to November. Life in the resorts of Cyprus is in full swing all year round, as all types of recreation are presented here: active recreation, family vacations with children, recreation for young people.

But even in the winter months, when the temperature does not drop below 15 degrees and snowfall is very rare, numerous tourists vacation in Cyprus. Surprisingly, on the hottest island in winter you can... ski! Just an hour's drive from the capital of the island of Nicosia and the seaside resort of Limassol, at an altitude of 2 thousand meters, among the cool cedar forests is the Troodos Nature Reserve.

Many beaches in the Republic of Cyprus have been awarded the Blue Flag of the European Union for environmental cleanliness and infrastructure. The best beaches for sunbathing are the resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras, and almost all resorts are suitable for families with small children, especially the resorts of Protaras and Larnaca. All resorts have entertainment for young children and their parents - water parks, a dolphinarium, an aquarium, and a “dancing fountain show.” In the resort of Paphos, the golf courses are highly valued even by professionals of this sport.

For lovers of active recreation, the Ayia Napa resort opens its doors - paragliding, water skiing, motor boats, pleasure boats, windsurfing, pedalos and canoes will not let the most sophisticated tourists get bored. By booking a tour to Cyprus with PEGAS Touristik, you can go on a boat trip and octopus fishing.

The capital of Cyprus, Nicosia, and the resort of Paphos have prepared a rich selection of archaeological excavations, museums and churches. A few kilometers from Paphos is the resort of Peyia - a quiet, secluded place famous for its life-giving springs and fancy fountains. The resorts of Pissouri and Latchi are also attractive for lovers of a relaxed holiday, many coffee shops and taverns with national cuisine. Particularly popular are boat trips on high-speed yachts towards the royal caves. Everyone has the opportunity to admire the crystal clear water, swim in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and have a delicious dinner on board the yacht.

As a souvenir of a wonderful holiday on the island of Cyprus, you can bring with you unique handmade lace products that Cypriots are proud of. The famous Commandaria wine, one of the most ancient wines in the world, is perhaps the best “souvenir” from Cyprus.

general information

The official name of the country

Republic of Cyprus
Capital: Nicosia. Nicosia is a commercial and industrial center. The city has 2 modern shopping complexes, shops, restaurants, and entertainment complexes. The city has developed textile, leather, pottery, plastics and other products. There are copper mines nearby.

State structure

Form of government: republic. The 1960 constitution envisioned a presidential republic with separation of powers between executive, legislative and judicial, and quotas to protect the interests of ethnic Turks. The President and Vice President were elected by the Greek and Turkish communities respectively for a five-year term, and had the right to veto certain initiatives of the legislative and executive branches. After the split of the island, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is headed by a President and a Prime Minister, responsible to the National Assembly. The TRNC authorities reject the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the entire territory of the island, and call it “the Greek authorities of Southern Cyprus”. Accordingly, the Republic of Cyprus and the international community, with the exception of Turkey, do not recognize the TRNC, and designate it as “territories occupied by Turkish troops.” The Republic of Cyprus is divided into 6 regions.

Climate

Mediterranean, with mild, wet winters and dry, hot summers. The weather is clear and sunny most of the year - the sun shines 320 days a year. Spring begins already in February, and summer lasts from May to the end of October. The average temperature in winter is +10 C, in summer +36 C. The swimming season in Cyprus begins in April and ends in November.

Population

The population of Cyprus has been composed of two ethnic groups for several centuries: Greeks and Turks. After the division of the island, the vast majority of Greek Cypriots live in the south, while the Turks live in the north. Also living in Cyprus are the British, Armenians, and Russians.

Religion

The vast majority of the population of Cyprus professes Christian beliefs, the rest is Islam.

Official language

The official languages ​​are Greek and Turkish. English is widely spoken.

Currency

The country's currency is the Euro (Euro, €). Until January 1, 2008, the national currency was the Cypriot pound (CYP). 1 CYP was approximately equal to 2 US dollars, and was divided into 100 cents. The banknotes had inscriptions in three languages ​​- English, Greek and Turkish.

Important information

Visa

The Cyprus Consulate has introduced a simplified method of entering the country EXCLUSIVELY FOR RUSSIAN CITIZENS (“pro-visa”). With a “pro-visa”, a citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to visit Cyprus only ONE TIME for a stay of up to 90 days. The validity period of the passport for obtaining a “pro-visa” must be at least 6 months from the date of application. A separate form is filled out for each tourist.
Tourists who have a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa (category C) and have made at least one trip to the country that issued this visa can enter Cyprus without a Cyprus visa. Before booking, such tourists must check the number of days to stay in the Schengen country. The Cyprus visa continues to be purely national and does not give its holder the right to use it to visit countries in the Schengen area.

National cuisine

The cuisine of Cyprus is based on Mediterranean dishes, primarily Greek and Turkish.

But traditional is the use of goat meat. Also traditional are grilled dishes - souvla and souvlaki. Deep-fried keftedes and sheftalia cutlets (minced meat with herbs and grated potatoes).

Local seafood dishes include squid and octopus in red wine. Among sweets, jam made from local fruits, vegetables and nuts is common - from soft-shelled walnuts, eggplants, figs, etc. Cypriots also consider their dish churchkhella (in Greek “shuzhuko”) - nuts strung on ropes and covered with frozen grapes syrup. Rose water is widely used in cooking. Cinnamon is also of great importance in Cypriot cuisine - it is added to almost all dishes: sweets, meat, cutlets, vegetable stews. Cypriot coffee "metrio" is similar to Turkish coffee - served directly with grounds and a glass of ice water. British culinary heritage is reflected in the traditional "English breakfast" of scrambled eggs, bacon and beans. Some bars serve beer in English pints.

Is it possible to buy a tour to northern Cyprus?

If you look at the offers of tour operators who sell tours to Cyprus, you will notice that there are no tours to hotels located in the northern part of the island. Why don’t Russian tour operators sell trips to northern Cyprus?

The answer is simple. The northern part of the island is occupied by Turkey. There is a pseudo-state there, the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. You may have heard about the TRNC, so this is it. This territory is not recognized by any state except Turkey. Official tour operators do not cooperate with hotels in the northern part, because contacts with the administration of any hotel in this territory are illegal.

Hotels in Cyprus

Capital: Nicosia

What could be better than a holiday in Cyprus - an island covered in legends in the Mediterranean Sea?.. There are beaches and mountains, picturesque bays and fruit plantations, luxury hotels and restaurants for every taste. Cyprus has become an almost universal resort, where parents with children, couples and restless youth come. And everyone finds something of their own here and returns home not only with traditional souvenirs and hundreds of photos in their smartphone, but also with the firm intention of returning to Cyprus again.

Climate

The island has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. Already in May the air here warms up to 28-30ºС and the swimming season opens. From June to September, average daily temperatures range from 32 to 36ºC, peaking in July and August. The water temperature between June and September averages 23-26ºC degrees.

What is the weather like in Cyprus in autumn and winter? You can swim until the end of October, but some people do it in November, since the water temperature in the sea this month does not drop below 20-21ºС. From December to March, daytime temperatures on the island are 16-18ºС, and this is the best time for walks and a calm, relaxed holiday.

Tips

When arriving at the resorts of Cyprus, remember: tipping here is a sign of your appreciation for good service. If you are satisfied with the cleaning of your hotel room, you can leave 2-3 euros for the maid. You can also offer approximately 1-2 euros to a gas station attendant. If you pay for a taxi by meter, round up the amount or give the driver 1-2 euros more. In cases where the taxi fare is paid by agreement, tips are not required. As for restaurants in Cyprus, some of them include a service charge in the bill in advance - usually 10-15% of the order amount. If this does not happen, you can leave a tip to the waiter in the amount of approximately 10% of the bill.

Souvenirs and shopping

A guide to Cyprus would be incomplete without mentioning souvenirs! You can bring home as a gift Cypriot olive oil, olives and sheep cheese, sweet Cypriot Commandaria wine, healthy carob-based products, traditional desserts Suzuko, Turkish delight or baklava. On an excursion to the mountain village of Lefkara you can buy silverware and handmade lace. Well, in the shops at the resorts there is a truly limitless assortment of olive soap, natural local cosmetics, as well as traditional souvenirs - from ceramics to magnets.

In resort areas you can also purchase swimsuits, beach sundresses, lightweight shoes and leather bags. However, there are large shopping centers only in cities - for example, MY MALL in Limassol and Kings Avenue Mall in Paphos. If your purchase exceeds €50, you are entitled to a 15% VAT refund, so be sure to obtain the necessary documents from the seller.

Kitchen

A holiday in Cyprus is not complete without tasting traditional dishes! First of all, try the meat or fish meze - a set of two dozen different dishes and snacks, which is served for at least two people and costs about 20-25 euros. For appetizers, we recommend tzatziki based on thick unsweetened yogurt with cucumbers and herbs and a rustic salad of vegetables, feta cheese and olives. Souvlaki kebabs, stewed lamb kleftiko and aromatic moussaka with minced meat and eggplant - all these dishes are also worth trying on the island. And, of course, you need to do this with a glass of local wine, and after the meal, order a cup of strong coffee.

Well, for those who choose to travel with children in Cyprus, there is also good news: many restaurants in the local resorts offer inexpensive children's menus.

Beach

Most of the beaches on the island are sandy, with a convenient gentle entrance to the sea. This is why holidays with children in Cyprus are so popular - little tourists feel comfortable and safe here. Sandy beaches are located in the areas of Limassol, Ayia Napa, Larnaca, Protaras. True, the sand is different everywhere: in Protaras it is fine and almost white, in Ayia Napa it is golden, in Larnaca and Limassol it is darker. Regardless of which resort you choose, rest assured that the water is clean everywhere and the beaches are kept in order.

The Paphos area has both sandy and rocky beaches. One of the local attractions is the sandy Lara beach. It is located on the territory of a nature reserve, and every spring rare green turtles swim here. In summer the beach is open to everyone and is a great place for a relaxing holiday.

Most beaches in Cyprus are municipal, so sun loungers and umbrellas are available for a fee.

Transport

How to get to Cyprus? Flights from Russia operate to two airports located in Larnaca and Paphos. Within the country, the cheapest way to travel is by bus. They connect the country's resorts and cities with each other, and some cities also have internal routes. To travel between different resorts, it is most convenient to use Intercity Buses. On most routes their interval is 1-1.5 hours.

An alternative option is to take a taxi or rent a car. There are taxis at any resort, but before you rent a car, study the information about Cyprus, its roads and the peculiarities of driving on the left.

Currency

The official currency of the Republic of Cyprus is the euro. When going to Cyprus, it is better to exchange rubles for euros in advance or get a bank card, payments on which are made in euros. In this case, you will not depend on currency exchange rate fluctuations.

When withdrawing cash from an ATM, a commission is charged, on average, 2-4%. If you receive large bills (100, 200 euros) at an exchange office or for change in a store, it is a good idea to check their authenticity. Also keep in mind that in summer Cypriot banks operate on reduced hours: from May to September they are open only from 8.15 to 13.30.

Time

UTC+03:00 (summer) UTC+02:00 (winter)

Resorts

Almost all resorts in Cyprus are suitable for families and families with children.

Young people and lovers of active nightlife should undoubtedly go to Ayia Napa!

Limassol will also be to your liking with its variety of entertainment and cultural events on the island.

For those who prefer a more relaxing holiday, we advise you to consider the resorts of Protaras and Larnaca.

Those who love a holiday surrounded by history, covered in legends of the past, will certainly suit Paphos like no other resort, rich in architectural monuments and interesting archaeological excavations.

And you will find the best sandy beaches in Ayia Napa and Protaras.
