The island of Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean behind Sardinia and Sicily. With 9,240km² (3, 567 miles²) of land, no matter where you stay in Cyprus you are only a short journey from some of the best sport and leisure activities available in the eastern Mediterranean. Cyprus has an abundance of sporting & leisure activities to suit all ages and the majority of facilities are open all year round.
For those that are worshippers of the Mediterranean sea, Cyprus has 648km (403miles) of coastline, with wonderful beaches. Why not try water skiing and wakeboarding, there are many fantastic dive sites located along the Cyprus coastline and scuba diving is a big sports activity for tourists and residents alike.
For those lazy days why not make your way down to one of the famous Cyprus harbours such as Kyrenia, Paphos or Limassol and make a reservation for one of the many daily boat and fishing trips. These trips are very popular in the summer months so it is always advisable to book early.
For a relaxing day at the beach you will be amazed at the number of small coves that can be found just off the main coastal roads where you can picnic and enjoy the day in total privacy.
Golf has become a major sport and leisure activity in Cyprus in recent years. All golf courses are very tough going and will give even the best handicappers a run for their money. Invariably you will see frustrated players hunting in the bag for a replacement ball and taking two shots from the tee. No matter the standard of golf every player will either have 18 holes of golfing heaven or if you are one of the unlucky ones 18 holes of golfing hell awaits you.
With Turkey, Syria, Israel, and Egypt only a few hours away why not book a ferry crossing and see these stunning countries and their seaport towns. |
