For the tourist looking for a country that has a wonderful history, beautiful scenery, fantastic cuisine and wine and a whole lot to do, Cyprus is the best destination. Begin your Cyprus luxury holidays in the town of Lemesos and see where the wine trade is centered in Cyprus. This may be the second biggest city; it still earns a lot of points when you consider its night life and its rich cultural heritage. Go and see what's left of Aphrodite's Sanctuary and get to know a lot more about the cult of the Goddess – The Emesis District Museum is a good place to start. Make use of this opportunity to find out how you should follow the Goddess's trail during your Cyprus luxury holidays.

If you want to learn more about ancient history, visit the Neolithic ruins on this island. Maybe you would prefer to have your history a little more up to date? You might want to see the Byzantine art and mosaics that are dotted all over the country during your Cyprus luxury holidays. Cyprus established itself as a very important center during the Byzantine era and this is very much in evidence when you look at the many Byzantine era churches. No less than ten of these were declared to be UNESCO World Heritage Sites and should not be missed.

Naturally this exploring is likely to make any tourist famished likely the Cypriots are famed for their excellent hospitality and fine dining. Take long leisurely lunches at the side of ancient olive groves and vineyards and let yourself soak in the culture where taking your time is important and the rat race is pretty much unheard of. Expect the pace to go a little bit more slowly during your Cyprus luxury holidays because this is the way the locals do things.

Cypress also has fantastic scenery, aside from fine dining and wine, to delight the traveler during their luxury Cyprus holidays. Bake in the sun until you look like a Greek goddess – you can spend the day on the warm, sandy beaches of Cypress or to frolic in the Mediterranean along with the dolphins. If you are ever tired of the beaches and all the water sports, you could spend some time in the mountains and engage in activities like rock climbing or possibly bungee jumping. If you find that too energetic for you, you are easily able to arrange day cruises to the adjacent Mediterranean islands in order to get a bit of a change.

Whatever style and pace of holiday you are looking for, Cyprus can accommodate you. The beaches are beautiful and unspoiled, the mountains spectacular and the people friendly and accommodating. All this and it is right next to the gorgeous Mediterranean Ocean. What more could you possibly want?
