View All DealsHolidays to Amathus Bay call for peaceful strolls along the sandy beach. A 10-minute drive away, lively Limassol's the place to kick up your heels.
Legend has it that Amathus was once home to children of the god Heracles. Today, this ancient royal city in southern Cyprus is a chilled-out coastal village where a prince might slip away on holiday incognito. Breathe in the away-from-it-all air – this is what relaxation’s all about.
Pack a picnic for a cooling walk among pines and cedars in the Troodos Mountains, just an hour away by car. Trails lead to storybook hill villages, fragrant lemon and olive groves and centuries-old churches. Wine buffs, meanwhile, have a choice of vineyard routes through the grape-growing foothills.
Soak up Cyprus' rich history in Paphos, a 45-minute drive away. Here, fantastically well preserved Hellenistic and Roman mosaics at the archaeological park bring Greek myths to life. More must-sees include atmospheric ancient tombs and a sea-facing sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite.
If lounging were an Olympic sport, visitors to the main beach here – aptly called Sands – would win hands down. Pick a sunbed and parasol on the grassy, sun-trap terrace and laze the day away beside calm shallows. The beach at Limassol, a 10-minute drive along the coast, has a sportier vibe.
