With 300 days of sun a year, Cyprus is as close as you get to a guaranteed sunny vacation with dazzling countryside and refreshing plunges into the sea. No matter what time of year you go there. Often travellers take the local bus without really knowing where they´re going. They just get off where it looks nice and enjoy the beautiful landscapes and villages. Even travellers interested in culture have their fill of history. Everywhere you go you find traces of Cyprus´ past: Roman relics, Bysantine forts, mosaics, sculptures of Aphrodite and medieval churches.
