Aphrodite's birth-island — ancient ruins, Troodos mountain villages, and 340 sunny days a year.
Cyprus is the Mediterranean's third-largest island — sunny, dry, and full of history. Roman mosaic floors in Paphos, medieval Crusader castles, Aphrodite's legendary birthplace, and the mountainous Troodos village region combine with excellent beaches and remarkably low prices by European standards.
