Longing for warmer weather by the sea but tired of hotel confines? A self-catering beach house on the idyllic island of Cyprus could be just the answer for you. A holiday villa will give your family more space and you will be able to save money on restaurants too. Not interested in relaxing on the beach? Cyprus has a wealth of fascinating attractions for all the family. Rent a holiday apartment in Nicosia and organise some day trips to the island's cultural and historical sites.

For those seeking sunshine and sandy beaches, the island of Cyprus offers the perfect destination. Protaras, on the eastern coast, has wonderful beaches and if you rent an apartment in Paphos, you are not far from the beautiful Coral Bay beach. From Paphos, why not take a boat trip from the harbour? You will be spoilt for choice for restaurants when you return. If you are looking for culture, just two miles north are the Tombs of the Kings, a World Heritage Site. Do not miss the island's other World Heritage Sites, including Choirokoitia, a prehistoric village and the ten painted churches dating from the Byzantine Empire in the Troodos area.
