Beautiful Places in Cyprus – The Island of Love

Floating on the waters of the European Mediterranean, the Eurasian island country of Cyprus is known as an odd mixture. Cyprus is the third largest island and the most popular tourist destination in the Mediterranean Sea. The Republic of Cyprus is a kaleidoscopic blend because the island’s cultural influences are dominated by Western Europe, while its geographic proximity to Asia and Africa gives it more than just a hint of the East.

The Republic of Cyprus is said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite – the Goddess of Love and Beauty, who emerged from the sea at Petra tou Romiou. Therefore, Cyprus has received its nickname as the “Island of Love” and has been renowned for numerous truly romantic and beautiful places for lovers.
