Sun-drenched Cyprus Beaches...

... for Beach Holidays in Cyprus!

Cyprus Beaches are surrounded by miles of sparkling turquoise blue sea and enjoy year-round sunshine which makes them the ideal location for a holiday in the sun.

This is the island of Aphrodite Greek Goddess of love and beauty so it's a popular destination for honeymoons and weddings.

The lovely Cyprus hotels are located near the beaches in Cyprus so perfect for beach holidays in Cyprus or a romantic getaway in the sun. Some of the beaches in Cyprus have golden sand and others are a mixture of sand and pebble. Many have tiny coves or long stretches of golden sand with sand dunes in isolated locations.

Most beaches offer popular water-sports such as scuba diving and sailing and as Cyprus belongs to the European Blue Flag Campaign, only quality beaches get the 'Blue Flag' seal of approval. Hire a car and visit some of these stunning locations!
