Cyprus offers a blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture and staying at a luxury hotel does not mean you can not visit and explore the beauty of the island. In this blog post, we will explore beautiful and must-see attractions near luxury hotels, ensuring you have an unforgettable journey.
Paphos Archaeological Park
Situated near many luxury hotels in Paphos, the Paphos Archaeological Park is something all visitors should visit and especially history enthusiasts. There, you will have the opportunity to explore ancient ruins, including Roman villas with intricate mosaics, the Odeon Amphitheatre, and the Tomb of the Kings. Moreover, you will get to enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline.
Akamas Peninsula
The Akamas Peninsula, which is very close to some of the most luxurious hotels in Paphos, is a paradise for nature lovers. Akamas Peninsula combines everything a nature lover wants to see. Beaches with crystal clear waters, beautiful landscapes, and rare flora and fauna. You can take a guided hike or embark on a boat trip to explore hidden coves and the famous Blue Lagoon, where you can swim in turquoise waters.
Larnaca Salt Lake
Within a maximum of two hours from luxury hotels in Paphos and less than an hour from luxury hotels in Limassol, you will find the Larnaca Salt Lake, a unique natural wonder. During the winter months, the lake is full and becomes a haven for migratory birds, including flamingos, while during summer months, it dries up leaving a crust of salt which is also interesting to see.
Troodos Mountains
What better way to escape the coastal heat if you are visiting the island in the summer, rather than visiting Troodos? Troodos Mountain is located near luxury hotels in Limassol. Explore the lush greenery, picturesque small villages, and charming monasteries and have a refreshing drink and some mahalepi, a traditional dessert, at one of the many traditional coffee shops. Of course, you can visit Troodos during winter to enjoy skiing, have mulled wine at the square and enjoy some delicious food at a taverna.
Choirokoitia Neolithic Settlement
Located near luxury hotels in Limassol, Choirokoitia Neolithic Settlement is a must-see attraction in Cyprus. This archaeological site showcases the remains of an ancient village dating back to 7000 BC. You can explore the reconstructed dwellings and learn about the island’s prehistoric past, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
While luxury hotels in Cyprus provide world-class amenities, like spas, sports centres, endless buffets, top-rated restaurants and many more, a day trip to some of the island’s attractions can also be a part of your trip. Exploring the must-see attractions of the island allows you to connect with its rich heritage and natural wonders. From archaeological sites to pristine landscapes and traditional villages, Cyprus offers a range of experiences for locals and visitors.
