Cyprus Hospitality
For those Cyprus devotees who are familiar with and love the
island this foreword may have little to offer other than as a
souvenir of just what the island is all about. For those not yet
familiar with Cyprus, the best adjectives that would apex the
list when writing copy such as this, would undoubtedly include
'sun-kissed',' sharply contrasting',' unhurried',
'irresistible', 'fascinating' and such like.
This is not to imply that the island is perfect. The people
themselves, at the root of Cyprus 's famous hospitality, are a
fascinating blend of Roman, Byzantine, Greek and British
influenced characteristics and qualities.
The Cypriots, however, are proud of their individuality and
warmth of character. They will welcome strangers into their
homes and lives much quicker than those from the countries which
influenced Cyprus over the years. The exhilarating mix of
Mediterranean weather and cuisine, a low cost of living, and the
ease, with which one can commune, makes Cyprus such a favourite
among the West Europeans, predominantly the British.
In countless parts of Cyprus you will find a life style little
changed from centuries ago, when the pace of life was slower and
simple pleasures were gained from an equally simple life.
Wherever you travel in Cyprus you will not be far from blossoms,
fruit and the sights and sounds of the Mediterranean . Cyprus
has made sure it caters for more sophisticated demands with
prevalent facilities for fishing, golf, cycling,
sailing/yachting, swimming, nature treks, and water sports.
If you visit Cyprus you will be able to see many sights and
archaeological monuments.
In Nicosia you can see the Presidential palace, the archbishop's
palace, the Venetian walls or visit "Laiki Gitonia" and eat at a
traditional Cyprus tavern.
In Limassol you may visit Kolossi castle, the ancient theatre of
Curium, drink "Koumandaria" and "Zivania" at the Limassol wine
festival, or have fun at the town's carnival.
Larnaca is known for its salt lake with the flamingos that fly
there every winter. It has the biggest airport in the island. If
you are in Larnaca, you can have a walk at "Phinikoudes", sit,
eat, and enjoy Cyprus hospitality.
Paphos , is a town full of archaeological monuments. The whole
town is protected by UNESCO because of its cultural importance.
There can be few more satisfying experiences than sitting in the
open air on a gentle Cyprus night enjoying a full scale 'meze'
in the company of Greek friends.
