Cyprus is about to become the ultimate island summer getaway

Compared to other famous Mediterranean destinations, Cyprus remains relatively undiscovered. It's more affordable than the South of France, less crowded than Ibiza in Spain, quieter than Sicily in Italy, more diverse than Santorini in Greece, and more open than Antalya in Turkey. With English as an official language, traveling here is effortless, making it Louis's top Mediterranean vacation spot. 🔴Recommended duration: 7-10 days 🔴Itinerary suggestion: The island is compact and perfect for a self-drive tour. You can fly into capital Nicosia, Paphos, Larnaca, or Limassol. 🔴Highlights (clockwise route): 1️⃣Capital Nicosia Unique experience: The world's only divided capital, split between Greek-controlled south and Turkish-controlled north. Cross the UN buffer zone in just 5 minutes to experience completely different cultures. (⚠️Note: Schengen visa required for southern Cyprus) 2️⃣Ayia Napa Beyond stunning coastlines, this town transforms into Europe's ultimate summer party destination where young travelers celebrate all night. Don't miss it if you love music and vibrant nightlife. 3️⃣Paphos This coastal city is entirely UNESCO-listed, perfect for city walks. Enjoy long seaside promenades, white Greek churches, beach resorts, luxury water parks, countless sandy beaches, and dramatic coastal rock formations. 4️⃣Akamas National Forest Park At Cyprus's western tip, this outdoor paradise features coastal hiking trails leading to the sea, with lagoons and beaches everywhere for swimming and sunbathing. Rent a 4x4 to climb hills for panoramic views of the azure coastline. #Cyprus #Mediterranean #EuropeTravel #Beach #Vacation #IslandGetaway #IslandDiaries #WorldTravel
