A stay in Cyprus breathes new life into familiar myths and legends. Think magnificent mountain ranges, dramatic coastlines and tranquil beach holidays, and it’s easy to see why this island is often the backdrop for tales about ancient adventures and Hellenistic heroes. With a warm Mediterranean climate, romantic coves and a rich backstory, a holiday in Cyprus is ideal for sun-seeking couples and history buffs alike.
What are the best beaches in Cyprus?
The beaches of Cyprus typically feature warm Mediterranean waters and fine sand. If you’re looking for a secluded sunbathing spot, head to Golden Beach – be sure to keep an eye out for shy wild donkeys grazing nearby. Alternatively, the shallow waters of Fig Tree Bay are perfect for families with young children, and Aphrodite’s Beach is a great choice for swimming and sightseeing.

Always use on the beach affordable…
Always use on the beach affordable monthly payments and going back to our favourite hotel in Cyprus never had any problems 5 stars ⭐️
Used onthebeach twice now and I would use again.
Used onthebeach twice now and I would recommend. Although the first time we had to change hotels a couple days before (which initially stressed me out) they sorted it all quickly and the hotel was actually much bigger/spacious and just as nice! Just booked a very cheap place in Cyprus soon. All was easy go do, hopefully it will go through.
Great holiday website.
Really pleased with how easy it was to book our holiday to Cyprus and how competitive it was on price… the cheapest by far!
Managed to book the transfers easily too.
