Its alluring beaches bring in tourists from all around the world, and its long-standing, intriguing history will leave you wanting to find out more. Book holiday villas in Cyprus and travel from one historical site to another to learn all about it, or if history isn't for you, you can just as easily lounge on the beach for a week – the choice is yours! The currency in Cyprus has been the Euro since 2008, and the main languages spoken are Greek and Turkish, depending on whether you are staying in the north or south of the island respectively, as it is split into two and separated by a UN Buffer Zone known as the Green Line. The country's capital is Nicosia, which is located on this line and thus also divided into two separate parts. The weather in Cyprus is one of the reasons which make it such a great place to visit – its subtropical Mediterranean climate means that there is usually only rain in the winter and the summers are dry and warm, with the holiday season lasting for around 8 months, as temperatures begin to increase to above 20°C as early as April, stretching all the way into November.
Ayia Napa – Perfect for Clubbing Holidays
Ayia Napa is a famous resort for its wild nightlife and lively town centre, full of different shops, restaurants and clubs, most of which are aimed at foreign tourists, who come from all throughout Europe as well as the Middle East to stay in Cyprus holiday rentals to experience what this sunny spot has to offer.

One of the most popular is Nissi Beach, which has great watersports available such as water-skiing, windsurfing and speed boating, amongst others. It also plays music during the day and sometimes holds foam parties and has guest DJs in the evenings, but if you want to find all of the clubs that this area is so famous for, head to the town centre where you will find nightclubs such as the Castle Club, a huge venue with 14 bars, 3 dance arenas offering different music styles to suit your taste and a large outdoor terrace for when you need to cool down! Another favourite is River Reggae which has a lit swimming pool and holds parties and events from April through to October. For fun during the day, take a trip to Ayia Napa's Ancient Greek themed water park, WaterWorld, one of the best in the world, with rivers, pools, slides and rides to keep everyone busy all day long.
