Overview

Fancy a Spring getaway? Well beat those winter blues and head for the Cypriot sun with Spice!

Cyprus, in the eastern Mediterranean, has a rich, turbulent history stretching back to antiquity. Known for its beaches, it has a rugged interior with wine-growing regions. It’s separated into a Greek south and Turkish north, with the capital Nicosia also divided. Coastal Paphos is famed for its archaeological sites relating to the cult of Aphrodite as it is believed to be where the goddess first came to earth and is ‘where the gods go on holiday’. The dividing line between Europe and the Orient, Cyprus has so much to offer and that’s not even mentioning the great weather!

The story of Cyprus’ tumultuous past is told through its historic sites, Roman ruins, multifaceted museums and dusty urban streets. This sense of living history is highlighted most vividly in Paphos, with extraordinary archaeological sites like the Tombs of the Kings, which sprawls like an ancient theme park.

Cypriot food can also be amazing so if you fancy eating out one lunch you’ll be sure a of treat, venture out with your follow members to sample it! Meze is a delicious way to acquaint yourself with the local cuisine, tantalising the taste buds with a feast of small dishes, ranging from creamy hummus to spicy grilled sausage, and everything in between. Heavily influenced by Turkish, Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine, Cypriot food includes some culinary stars unique to the island, including haloumi (helimi in Turkish), and the kebabs are also in a league of their own. And the desserts are irresistible, flavoured with almonds, rose water and pistachios and ranging from creamy rice puddings to gloriously sticky baklava.

When we visit at the start of May Cyprus is an ideal place to soak up some early spring sun. During April and May, days are pleasantly warm with average highs of 22 degrees, but temperatures may drop at night on average to around 15 degrees; still considerably more pleasant than the UK but you may want a fleece or jacket availabile for the evening! Cyprus also benefits from around 11 hours of sunshine in May and just one day of rain on average.
