THE ISLE OF APHRODITE IS BATHED BY THE AZURE WATERS OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN AND IS BLESSED WITH MILD WINTERS AND WARM SUNNY SUMMERS. THE ISLAND OFFERS EXCELLENT BEACHES, RUGGED MOUNTAINS, GREEN FORESTS AND LUSH VALLEYS. THE HARMONIOUS BLEND OF OLD AND NEW IS EVER PRESENT WITH THE PROFUSION OF ANCIENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES COHABITING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE AND AN EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION NETWORK. CYPRUS IS RENOWNED FOR ITS HOSPITALITY AND INDEED ITS FRIENDLY PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS READY TO GIVE A WARM WELCOME AND A BIG SMILE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET LOST AS THE SEA IS ALMOST ALWAYS VISIBLE AND PROVIDES AN UNFORGETTABLE LANDMARK.
