Cyprus - Wink Travel Guide

Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. After Sicily and Sardinia, is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

The island is the site of many archaeological and antiquities sites scattered around the island, dating from the New Stone Age through to the Roman Empire. And the beautiful coastline of the island - still quite unspoilt in many places - is well worth exploring.

The Troodos mountains, rising as high as 1952 metres, offering some beautiful trail walks and also quaint little villages such as Kakopetria, Platres and Phini. In winter there is the chance to ski there and the ski resort is being developed.
