Travelling Europe - Cyprus
Fancy getting lost on an island in the eastern Mediterranean? Why not try Cyprus; it has a varied landscape of rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, rocky hills and forest-covered mountains. Its diverse nature means it allows for a wide range of activities: mountain biking, hiking, water sports and even skiing in the winter season. If you are lucky enough to live here and are the energetic type, you have something to do no matter what the season.
