Active holidays Cyprus

Sunshine, blue skies, beaches, water sports and cultural attractions are all to be discovered on your Cyprus active holiday.

Deep water SCUBA diving is popular in Cyprus and diving centres can be found in all towns and resorts. In the Ayia Napa area you can explore interesting caves, reefs and corals, while Larnaca is abundant in remarkable shipwrecks, so it’s easy to find good diving sites in Paphos and Limassol.

Nicosia area has plenty of interesting cultural sites, such as the Royal Tombs and Agios Irakleidios Monastery at Tamassos, the five-dome church and the mosque in Peristerona, the Panagia Chrysospiliotissa Church and Machairas Monastery in the hills southwest of Nicosia.

An active holiday to Cuba also offers great entertainment for all the fishers, with places such as Protaras and the traditional fishing village, Nissi Bay. The mighty Troodos Mountains, the island's rugged backbone, offer stunning views across the island to the sea where, as legend has it, Aphrodite rose from the waves.

Scan around and your view will take in crusader fortresses, Greek and Roman theatres, Byzantine monasteries and whitewashed villages clinging to cliffs and coves. With four hundred miles of coastline, there is no shortage of Blue Flag beaches to enjoy water-sports from and land to explore on your Cyprus active holiday.
