... groves, pine-forested mountains and some of Europe’s cleanest beaches. Cypruse occupies a strategic position as the easternmost island in the Mediterranean and this made it subject to regular invasions by powerful empires. Vestiges of the diverse cultures – Greek, Phoenician, Assyrian, Egyptian, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, Ottoman and British – that have either ruled or breezed through, dot the island. I was ...

In fact, it was so interesting I recrossed the border for another look before heading back to Larnaca. Like I said, Cyprus was a great surprise and I absolutely cracked that nut that was so elusive the other night. I'd rate this as the most fascinating contrast in cultures I have seen to date in all my travels. That this is happening right here in modern Europe in 2009 is just beyond belief and I am glad I see to it in its raw gritty state.

Spent a week in a resort hotel in the city of Limmosal. Toured the entire island except for the Turkish portion on the top third of Cyprus.

... Johnson but both of us were a bit indifferent about it despite loving the song and agreeing that it sums up our relationship. However, when we booked the south american band we thought it would be much better to have a slow song done by them, like a Rat Pack song done south american style!! I wasn't drunk the whole day but I just can't recall what the song was! there was sooo much going on. Then everyone else hit the floor and we all danced with each other and the band let us try on ...

... Park. (Note that while all English references refer to the town as Paphos, the signs around the town show the word spelt as Pafos). The park includes sites and monuments from prehistoric times, and up to the middle ages, although most of the remains date from the Roman period. The marvelous and world famous mosaic floors of four Roman villas form the impressive epicenter of the finds, and the mosaics within The House of Aion, dated from the 3rd to 5th century were ...

... the beach which I'd glimpsed at in the Cyprus Airways office, I had no idea what was to do in Cyprus. Not being a huge beach-buff, I hoped there was more than just that. Until then, I never knew how hard it could be to travel without a guide book. Sure it would be a piece of cake if I had spare time to figure everything out on my own.
