During a visit to Cyprus there are so many beautiful and unique places to visit but as a guide, key ones not to miss are:

Kourion Archaeological Site - One of the most spectacular archaeological sites on the island, Kourion was an important city kingdom where excavations continue to reveal impressive new treasures. Noted particularly for its magnificent Greco-Roman Theatre, Kourion is also home to stately villas with exquisite mosaic floors and an early Christian Basilica among other treasures.

Lefkosia (Nicosia) - Lefkosia is a friendly place with beautiful restaurants, a buzzing art scene and breathtaking museums. Lefkosia offers a more traditional view of Cyprus and gives the traveller insight into what the way of life in Cyprus is really like compared to the coastal towns. The old town, inside the 16th-century Venetian walls, is a must see for anybody visiting. There are many museums to see in the area including the Leventis Municipal, the Dragoman Hadzigeorgakis and the Byzantine Museum.

Troödos Massif - The Troödos region mountains, in the country's south, are well worth a visit for their tranquil atmosphere and a place to get away from the bustling tourist hot spots. The area is a favourite for hikers and is littered with 15th-century frescoed monasteries, wine-making villages and walking trails.

Paphos Mosaics - The mosaic floors date from the 3rd to the 5th Centuries AD and are considered amongst the finest in the Eastern Mediterranean. They depict mainly scenes from Greek mythology. The mosaics at the House of Dionysos depict the god of wine, while at the House of Thyseus the struggle against the Minotaur.

Kolossi Castle - Kolossi Castle is nestled near the village houses and vineyards in the area. The castle acts as a reminder of the rule of the Knights of St John in the 13th century. The famous Cypriot wine, Commandaria, was first produced here and no visit would be complete without sampling this rich dessert wine.The castle is accessible by a short drawbridge. In earlier days the castle was originally defended by a high parapet fiercely defended by the castle occupants with molten lead or boiling oil – but don't worry there's a friendly reception for all visitors now!
