Couples of every generation, families and groups of young adults all flock to the island.

The sandy beaches and the many water sports are the main attraction but the Troodos mountains and the hills also bring hikers and cyclists to the island. There is also an eighteen hole golf course. The many archaeological remains give a fascinating insight into the Roman history of Cyprus.
