Aphrodite was born from the foam of the sea, hence her name: the foam-born. The Mediterranean Sea with its spray frames "her" island – on the Akamas Peninsula in the northwest, you can even find the beautiful goddess's bath. It was in this enchanted place that she met Adonis, but that's another story. On luxury trips to Cyprus, ancient myths mingle with beautiful nature and wonderful comfort. During our cold half of the year, the island is still pleasantly warm, and Mediterranean ease prevails all year round. From April to November, temperatures remain consistently above 20 degrees Celsius, making these months particularly recommended for visiting Cyprus. Hiking and swimming, culture and cuisine: this place is perfect for discerning connoisseurs.
