Cyprus has a long and illustrious history spanning more than 10,000 years. It has been influenced by periods of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, Ottoman, British and most recently Greek-Turkish rule. An island of great contrasts, each town has a vibrancy of its own. Limassol has some of the best nightlife, Larnaka is famous for its sailing waters and Nicosia is known for its shops, universities and history.

Below is an overview of Cyprus' unique regions.
