2025 Cyprus Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#100waysoftravel What comes to mind when you think of Cyprus? If you are like most people, you picture miles of golden beaches, glistening ocean waves, and the Old-World charm of cobblestone streets and outdoor cafes. If you thought of all that, you are spot on. But did you think of cats? This dreamy island is also known as “The Island of Cats.” Yes, cats. There are more cats in Cyprus than there are people. You read that right. To be specific, there are around 1.5 million cats with 1.2 million servants. That is great news for cat lovers. This trip could be purrrr-fection! If you are a lesser fan of the feline species, you might want to head somewhere where you are not overwhelmed by fur. Cypriots tend to be cat lovers. Cats sit in cafes and offices, wander the streets, and sun themselves on any flat surface. If you sleep with your window open, you may wake up to a new friend. Part of the reason is that cats are highly valued in Cypriot history and culture. It is entirely possible that Cypriots began the tradition of human-feline connection a good 2,000 years before the Egyptians. This realization has come from a 2005 discovery, in which archaeologists discovered a tomb in which a young man and a cat had been buried side by side. But Cypriots also have practical reasons for valuing cats. The island is home to a large snake population (not to fear — they are mostly in the mountains). There are so many snakes that a fourth-century queen imported 1,000 cats to tackle the problem. Contemporary cats continue to keep the serpentine population at bay.#animalcontact

Beautiful little coptic church with the most amazing sunsets. Yes you can get married here and they have candles you can light for a donation. Truly beautiful inside. Lovely place to visit. You can go in and have a look, but you must have a shirt and at least shorts to the knees, respect, and all that. The area behind the church is dominated by a huge pile of discarded sea weed, cleared from the beaches. In April the shoreline is a riot of wildflowers, well worth a visit. Also here is official “The sunset point of Cyprus” And so many cute cats around, so if you have something tasty for them they’ll appreciate it#beachlife #mytripvlog #paphos

What i love about cyprus are these old buildings which adds alot of flavour to the place! Some travelling insights I gain from travelling in Cyprus 1) No trains lines, you can only rely on buses and taxis. With taxis being very expensive, it leaves just buses as the cheapest form of transport. If you have no choice, Bolt taxi app is available in Cyprus, but I notice the supply of taxis is really low and very high price. 2) There are 2 airports, one on Paphos and one is Larnaca. 3) Alot of places accept credot cards, all of the restaurants, shops i have been to all do. However, if you visit village shops or take buses, only CASH! So remember to have spare euros.

#travel such a beautiful sky!!😍😍

The sun won't be harsh, and it's good for taking pictures ⏰Avoid the Crowds: ▫️Take over the entire Blue Lagoon before 9 am, the light is best for seeing the bottom of the sea at 11 am ▫️Play in the sand on Polis Beach after 4 pm to avoid burning your feet 🍜Dining Tips: ▫️Pack a fruit box from the hotel breakfast (replenish energy during snorkeling breaks) ▫️Buy freshly grilled octopus legs at the Latsi Harbour fish market (tear them into strips for your child to snack on) [Zero-Meltdown Equipment List] 🎒For Kids: ▫️One-piece sun-protective swimsuit (search for "mermaid sun protection" on Taobao) ▫️Buoyancy armbands (more convenient than a life jacket) ▫️Waterproof mission card (underwater treasure hunt list) 🎒Mommy Bag: ▫️Coral-friendly sunscreen (protect marine life) ▫️Folding picnic mat (instantly turns the reef area into a viewing platform) Blue Lagoon is now in "glass water season"! I recommend braiding your child's hair into mermaid braids and playing "sea turtle tracking" games in the shallows. Every shot with a GoPro looks like a National Geographic cover. When you're tired, stay in the BLUE LAGOON 12A balcony room to watch the stars. This is the ultimate way to experience the island with your family! Quickly save this guide and unlock a fantastic trip for an average of 200 euros per person. (⚠️Safety Rules: Stay close to the instructor throughout the snorkeling area, and dress your child in fluorescent swimwear to make them more visible)
