Говорят, когда Бог сотворил мир, Он бросал по a handful of their bounty on every continent. And since the island of Cyprus is located just halfway between Europe, Asia and Africa, it has got three times more of God's blessings. 300 sunny days a year, 9 months of summer and 3 months of spring, the azure waters of the Mediterranean, lush greenery and centuries-old history, traces of which are scattered over a small patch of land literally at every turn. Choosing this island, you can not help thinking: where it is better to have a rest in Cyprus? After all, there are so many interesting places, and there are so few days of vacation.
A bit of politics
The island is still divided into the northern part(Turkish) and southern (Greek). The tension of the 70s of the XX century with armed skirmishes has long been left in the past. But, when choosing where to have a better rest in Cyprus,
It should be borne in mind that for the southern part,to open a Schengen visa. In this case, you can visit the north of the island, but see that the stamp is put on a separate liner. Otherwise, there will be problems when returning to the south. If you choose the north, where most historical sights are concentrated by the will of the event, then the road is closed to the other part (unless you are a lucky possessor of Schengen).
Cyprus Riviera
If you are aiming for sunbathing and swimming in the sea,then the answer to the question of where to rest in Cyprus is the following: of course, in the south of the island. Luxury hotels lined up along the entire coastline enclose almost the entire coastline in a continuous chain. And in any, even a 3-star hotel, there is an access to the sea, a swimming pool, a park and a huge variety of entertainment. But if we proceed from the fact that even the beach public is divided into two large groups - thirsting for peace and tranquility, families with children and noisy young people who love outdoor activities, then in the southern, Greek, parts you should look at the resorts. So more opportunities to understand exactly where better to spend your holidays.
