It's easy to see why the ancients believed Cyprus to be the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite and Adonis. There's something ethereal and timeless about the way the pine forests cascade down the cloud-topped peaks of the Troodos Mountains. There's something impossibly romantic about the way the sunset glows across gold-tinged beaches on the Akamas Peninsula. These days, cultures and people have added to the allure, with the handsome stone harbors of Paphos meeting ancient temples and the tombs of long-forgotten kings. There are also party meccas out with Ayia Napa, and rustic hill towns where vineyards roll by Orthodox monasteries. Getting cheap flights to Cyprus from Australia is easiest in months like May and September, or throughout the winter, and deals that involve a few stopovers are often the best bargains of all.
The Tombs of the Kings are the centerpiece of a vast UNESCO necropolis where the burial chambers of ancient nobles have been uncovered north of Paphos.
The outline of hilltop Byzantine churches and the scent of pine forests make the Troodos Mountains something truly different from Cyprus's beach resorts.
You can spot sea turtles on the beaches and find mythical Greek sites all along the stunning Akamas Peninsula.
