Cyprus enjoys sunshine throughout the year, making it perfect for enjoying your favorite activities while on vacation. Activities include golf, diving, sailing, hiking, biking and many more.
Golf
Cyprus has three 18-hole golf courses of international standard. Located in the Paphos region, these courses are situated on the tranquil landscaped hills offering stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Although these courses are set back from the main tourist centers, they are still close enough for easy access.
Popular courses include the award-winning Aphrodite Hills, Elea Golf Club, Minthis Hills, which is set among the orchards and vineyards of a 12th-century monastery, and Secret Valley Golf Course, which is located near the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite. .
Diving
The island is blessed with warm, crystal clear waters that are ideal for scuba diving. With sea temperatures ranging between 16°C and 27°C around the island, Cyprus offers the longest diving seasons in the Mediterranean. Divers will see an incredible variety of brightly colored fish, corals, sponges, sea anemones, octopuses and sea urchins as they dive into the spectacular offshore reefs. The island runs a turtle conservation project, thanks to which the number of sea turtles around the island has increased. Cyprus has many underwater caves and tunnels waiting to be explored.
Popular sites include the Amphitheater dive site, Three Stars Wreck dive site, Green Bay dive site (a former shipwreck), and Akrotiri Reserve dive site.
Navigation
During your budget vacation package to this amazing island, charter a boat for the day and be pampered by the boat crew as you sail along the beautiful Cypriot coastline. The island has many secluded bays that are only accessible by boat, where you can stop to sunbathe on the beach and enjoy a dip in the crystal clear blue waters. For the more adventurous, spend a day deep-sea fishing.
Cyprus has two marinas and five ports. Larnaca Marina has 450 berths and attracts yachts from all over the world, especially in winter when people live on their boats while they are docked at the marina.
Hiking
Hiking is a great way to discover Cyprus. There are many nature trails and marked trails for all levels of hikers, from easy hikes to more challenging hikes. Spring is considered to be the best time for hiking when the island is starting to bloom.
Hiking in the Troodos Mountains and the Akamas Peninsula is very popular along with the Cyprus section of the E4 European Hiking Route. This section takes you from Larnaca Airport to Paphos Airport, passing through Cape Gkreko, the Troodos Mountains and the Akamas region.
Cycling
Cyprus has many cycling routes or the more adventurous can create their own. Cycling around the island allows you to visit secluded coves, ancient ruins, and incredible scenery that you would likely miss if you were traveling by car.
The Cyprus Cycling Federation organizes competitions throughout the year, mainly in spring. These events are suitable for all levels of cyclists, from leisure and fun riders to elite cyclists.
