Unbridled romance and blissful relaxation awaits honeymooners in Cyprus, the land where love itself was born. It was here in Cyprus, after all, that the ancient goddess of love, Aphrodite, emerged from the sea at Petra tou Romiou clothed only in sea foam . . . it may have happened in 3200 B.C. but her amorous spirit still reigns in Cyprus. The allure of antiquity, the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea and sun, and the legendary hospitality of the Cypriots themselves make Cyprus the ultimate honeymoon and wedding destination.

Romance is always what you make it, but in Cyprus the spirit of Aphrodite can only help. As Aphrodite once did, newlyweds will delight in the splendors of Cyprus’ natural environment. You can see the spot where she bathed in a natural grotto (some say to renew her virginity after each one of her many and varied trysts) on the still pristine Akamas Peninsula. The stunning coastline exerts a powerful pull, from Pafos to Agia Napa and the spectacular Cape Gkreko. Clean beaches and warm, clear waters invite spontaneous swims any time of the day. History and hedonism comfortably intertwine at five-star beach resorts within a short distance of evocative ancient ruins. But head inland and you will quickly discover charming villages with their friendly cafes, not to mention the revitalizing pine and cedar-covered mountains of the Troodos massif.
