<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">All 3 villages are very close to each other, and therefore perfect to combine on a weekend getaway! Pick and choose your favorite things to do, and explore rural Cyprus the right way! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Omodos &#8211; Day 1 </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">In the gorgeous Limassol District, you will find the traditional but at the same time modern, Omodos Village. One of Limassol’s largest wine villages, it is located 42 kilometers northwest of the city. It is built on the western bank of the river known as ‘Ha Potami,’ at an average altitude of 810 meters </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Despite its small size, is known for a lot of things – like the making of wine and zivania, arkatena, and the spiritual Holy Cross Monastery.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="419" height="628" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Photo-06-10-2020-22-33-18.jpg?resize=419%2C628&#038;ssl=1" alt="omodos" class="wp-image-5273" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Photo-06-10-2020-22-33-18.jpg?w=419&amp;ssl=1 419w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Photo-06-10-2020-22-33-18.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w" sizes="(max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px" /><figcaption>Omodos</figcaption></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Omodos &#8211; What to do in the village </h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Strolling through the village, you can admire colorful cobbled narrow streets, taste good Cypriot food, and arkatena and buy a plethora of traditional products. The large square of the village is one of the oldest and largest on the island, dating back to 1910. Stone-paved, it is surrounded by beautiful, traditional homes with flowering balconies, and also framed by tall, proud sycamore trees</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="942" height="628" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3802.jpg?resize=942%2C628&#038;ssl=1" alt="the beautiful village of Omodos in Cyprus " class="wp-image-5272" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3802.jpg?w=942&amp;ssl=1 942w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3802.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3802.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3802.jpg?resize=585%2C390&amp;ssl=1 585w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3802.jpg?resize=263%2C175&amp;ssl=1 263w" sizes="(max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px" /><figcaption>Omodos Village Square</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I also advise you to walk to the Eoka Hideout Museum, and to visit the ancient wine pressing mill (Linos) in the village too!</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arkatena Fotinis</h4>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Arkatena</strong>&nbsp;is a type of “koulouri”, a circular bread made with leaven using the foam produced from chickpea fermentation called Arktis At Arkatena Fotinis, you will find a plethora of products all made with arkatena, that attract a plethora of visitors from all over Cyprus! Cookies and pastries as well as bread, and jams! Good quality coffees too ( often difficult to find in rural Cyprus!) </p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Holy Cross Monastery </h4>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The Holy Cross Monastery is one of the most beautiful on the island! According to tradition, the Monastery has established before St. Helen’s arrival in Cyprus in 327 AD. Various Cypriot historians, make reference to St. Helen’s visit to Cyprus and to the fact that she left a part of the Holy Rope and the Holy Rood in the Monastery. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="942" height="628" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3696.jpg?resize=942%2C628&#038;ssl=1" alt="omodos" class="wp-image-5266" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3696.jpg?w=942&amp;ssl=1 942w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3696.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3696.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3696.jpg?resize=585%2C390&amp;ssl=1 585w, https://i0.wp.com/www.tiadoestravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KGP3696.jpg?resize=263%2C175&amp;ssl=1 263w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px" /></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The monastery is said to have begun as a small chapel that garnered a gathering of several monks, resulting in its transformation into a magnificent monastery. You will see it right in the center of the village square! Modest clothing is advised, although there are gowns situated outside that you can wear to enter the church too. </p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;Eoka Struggle Museum </h4>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">With Church Steward Dositheos, from the Holy Monastery of the Holy Cross in Omodos, as the head figure, the inhabitants actively participated in the Greek revolution and the national liberation struggle of EOKA 1955 &#8212; 1959. A hideout was created in the home of Aristos and Maroulla Theodorou from Omodos, following instructions from Grigoris Afxentiou. On the morning of 21st January, however, security forces surrounded the hideout and captured the fighters in the process. After their arrest, all furniture and objects were removed from the house, which was then blown up, along with the hideout. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">This place is buzzing <strong>during the weekends</strong>!! Totally adore the layout, and simple yet tasty things on offer! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">You won&#8217;t find eggs benedict, but those platters are delicious! The arkateno joins forces with homemade marmalade, chocolate praline, and dried nuts, creating a delicious combo for breakfast and brunch! The egg, cured meats, cheese, halloumi, and olive platter is equally mouthwatering and pays homage to what Cypriots do best; eat! Besides the platters, the shop also offers homemade sweets like apple pie and cakes, cheese pie, and my personal favorite-  homemade halloumi pie! </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It is Cypriot Meze at its finest, endless dishes of incredibly well-cooked food, and true Cypriot recipes that go far beyond souvlaki and tzatziki! Sparkling clean, excellent service and beautiful surroundings too. Arrive, hungry, relax, and enjoy! </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I tried many dishes &#8211; the crunchy halloumi salad, calamari, and red pepper risotto, and the 3 desserts were my favorite!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Day 2 &#8211; Arsos Village</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Clean, beautiful, and utterly traditional – this is Arsos village in Limassol District! 200 citizens live in Arsos and they really go above and beyond to preserve the character and tradition of their village. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The first thing that impresses me is how welcoming and kind they are! Secondly, the beautiful village square, and the ancient church of Apostle Philip.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I found my talk with the community council very interesting too! Andreas informed me of the admirable efforts of the locals to build a new female monastery in the village; particularly, the one of Virgin Mary the Catholic.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What to do in the Village </h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">In Arsos you will find luxurious&nbsp; accommodation, taverns and traditional coffee houses filled with life and people, as well as shops that make fresh traditional products, like palouze and shoushouko.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I just loved my walk at this nature trail! Nature lovers will adore it too &#8211; just be sure to carry water with you, and mosquito repellant! The trail is filled with over 40 species of rich flora, such as plane trees, willows, poplars, and walnut-trees. As regards the fauna, be prepared to encounter birds, rare butterflies, reptiles,  soft water crabs, frogs, and even foxes! Along the river and at a distance of about 800 meters, six medieval fountains are built. &nbsp;The riverbed has been cleared and there is now a clear pathway to the fountains so be sure to make a stop!</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">But for me, the ideology is even more exciting than the wine. The team inside the premises, (and Mara the estate&#8217;s dog i fell in love with) from oenologists to workers work as one. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It really is a team effort, but the bond between them is evident for all to see. There is a quiet energy that can only come from working with a well-selected team, and it all comes out in the visitor&#8217;s experience too. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Location of Cyprus </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The Republic of Cyprus is located in the Mediterranean, in the European continent!  Cyprus is on the southeast of Greece, south of Turkey, north of Egypt, northwest of Israel and Lebanon, and west of Syria. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It is also the third-largest Mediterranean island. Our motherland, Greece is only a 2hrs flight away, Lebanon 50 minutes, and Israel, a mere 45 minutes. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why you should Visit Cyprus </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Are you a crystal clear beach lover? Sunset enthusiast? Do you enjoy filling your tastebuds with incredible food? How about <strong><a href="https://www.tiadoestravel.com/travel/europe/cyprus/agrotourism-cyprus-paphos-wine-villages/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exploring mountains and Scenic villages</a></strong>? Cosmopolitan beach clubs and incredible parties? </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Then the answer is simple; visit Cyprus. On this paradisiacal island, you will find many treasures and delights, worth exploring. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It is no wonder that many British, American, and German locals are choosing to retire in Cyprus. Here, life is easy&#8230;and rather beautiful if I do say so myself!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Language and Religion in Cyprus</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Cyprus is an independent island with its own flag and government. We do however hold a close relationship with Greece and are considered Greek Cypriots. The official language is Greek, although we speak it with a Cypriot dialect &#8211; our accent is similar to the one spoken in Crete, one of <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.tiadoestravel.com/travel/europe/greece/greek-island-hopping-itinerary/" target="_blank">Greece&#8217;s incredible islands</a></strong>! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">English is widely spoken here partly because of the huge number of tourists that visit per year. Additionally, because Cyprus used to be an English Colony until 1960 when it gained its independence after 82 years of British Control. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The biggest part of the Cypriot population (around 78% of the total population) belongs to the <strong>Greek Orthodox Church of Cyprus</strong>. The Turkish – Cypriots (18%) are Muslim. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The churches in Cyprus &#8211; especially in the cities are rather grand and impressive! You will not encounter many whitestone little churches like you will on the Greek Islands. </p>

<h2 class="has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading">Cities to Visit in Cyprus &#8211; A local&#8217;s tips  </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Phew, I don&#8217;t know where to start! In my opinion, you should visit every city in Cyprus 🙂 The &#8221;free&#8221; and unoccupied part of Cyprus (more on that later) is divided into these cities: Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos, and Ayia Napa/Paralimni. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">I have an article <strong><a href="https://www.tiadoestravel.com/travel/europe/cyprus/cyprus-itinerary/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">listing what to do in each of these cities,</a></strong> as well as agrotourism options in Troodos mountains and surrounding villages so check it out to learn more&#8230; </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Where to stay in Cyprus </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">There are literally hundreds of hotels in Cyprus &#8211; and a good few of them are extremely luxurious and breathtaking. Below, I will list a few that I have personally stayed at, and that fall into the affordable luxury category! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"> <strong>Nicosia</strong>: The capital hasn&#8217;t got too many great hotels but it does have some beautiful Airbnbs! Here are my two faves: This <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/timeless-luxury-3-bedroom-apartment-in-central-nicosia.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2" target="_blank">3 bedroom flat in central Nicosia</a></strong> and this <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/idyllic-studio-with-private-pool.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2" target="_blank">beautiful Studio with its own private pool! </a></strong></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"> <strong>Limassol:</strong><a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/alasia.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>Alasia Boutique Hotel</strong></a>&#8211; Luxury and elegance is great for sophisticated elegance away from the noise. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong> Ayia Napa</strong>: <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/napamermaidhotel.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2" target="_blank">The 4* Napa Mermaid Hotel</a></strong> is an absolute favorite of mine- I have visited over 7 times! It&#8217;s heavenly! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Protaras:</strong> Families or a group of friends will LOVE the<strong> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/villa-oniro.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1" target="_blank">Incredible Villa Oniro</a></strong> &#8211; a villa of 4 huge en suite bedrooms, garden swimming pool, and jacuzzi. I spent a glorious week there and I was in heaven! Alternatively, <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/sofia-39-s-seaview.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1" target="_blank">Sophia&#8217;s Seaview</a></strong> is a beautiful, luxe and modern flat in the center of Protaras Avenue &#8211; you wouldn&#8217;t even need to rent a car!</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Also, check out these <strong><a href="https://www.tiadoestravel.com/travel/europe/cyprus/where-to-stay-in-cyprus/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Agrotourism Hotel and cottages</a></strong> options for a real slice of Cyprus culture!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Also check out Paphos and Larnaca </h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Paphos:</strong> I am OBSESSED with the new and incredible<strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/cy/amavi.en.html?aid=1807300&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2" target="_blank"> 5* Amavi Hotel</a></strong> in Kato Paphos. This is an <strong>adults and couples only </strong>luxurious hotel! Paphos is very popular with families with small children, so the Amavi is a breath of quiet, peaceful and fresh air. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Larnaca:</strong> If you are visiting Larnaca (popular with foreign pensioners) I would advise you to stay close to Makenzie! This area has some lively beach bars, excellent food and parties.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Climate </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Can you handle the heat? Cyprus is&#8230;gloriously sunny, and more often than not, beautifully warm. Ok tourists might call it boiling hot&#8230;But we love it! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Here in <strong>Cyprus</strong>, we enjoy an intense Mediterranean <strong>climate</strong>, with long and dry summers from mid–May to mid–October, and mild winters from December to February, which are separated by short autumn and spring seasons. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Winters are mild to average with rain in all cities and snow only on Troodos Mountains (usually starting before Christmas). </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">June, July, and August average a temp of 30-37 degrees, and they have been known to tip the scales at over 40 degrees too. So if you are fussy about the heat, I would skip those months! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Average temperatures in May, September, and October are 24-30 degrees. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When to visit Cyprus </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Traveling in the winter is definitely cheaper, although you will miss the true magic of this island! A good compromise would be to visit in May, Sep, or October for lower temperatures and cheaper travels. If you want more info on national holidays and budget options, read my <strong><a href="https://www.tiadoestravel.com/travel/europe/cyprus/best-time-to-visit-cyprus/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guide on the perfect time to visit Cyprus</a></strong> </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The country truly comes alive with the sun &#8211; so beach lovers take note! The beach club and beach restaurant season starts in May and goes on until the end of September. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Hello gorgeousness! Ooohhh the food in Cyprus is INSANE. I have had so many friends visit me over the years and the one thing everyone agrees is this: Nothing beats the food here. Period. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Cypriot cuisine is a happy marriage of Greek cuisine with an added Cypriot oomph and flair. Perfectly seasoned meats, fresh seafood, vibrant vegetables, and crunchy salads are what you will encounter here. Incredible deserts, fresh local fruit, and a great local wine scene put the cherry on an already stunning cake. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The watermelons in Cyprus are to die for! As for vegetarians and vegans, we Cypriots fast twice a year during Xmas and easter so finding dishes without animal products won&#8217;t be difficult at all &#8211; just ask the waiter!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Transportation and Airports </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Cyprus has two airports, <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.hermesairports.com/" target="_blank">Larnaca Airport &#8211; LCA</a></strong> -(the main airport, and the newest one) and Paphos Airport &#8211; PFO.  Cheaper airlines like Easy Jet and Ryan Air fly into Paphos airport. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Larnaca is a 30-minute drive from the capital city Nicosia, and from the gorgeous seaside protagonists Ayia Napa and Protaras. Paphos, on the other hand, is closer to the city of Limassol (30 minutes) but much further from the other cities. It is a 1.5 hr drive from Larnaca, and 2hr drive from Nicosia. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Transportation</h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">As far as transportation goes, don&#8217;t expect a great deal of public transport! For starters, we have no metro or train service and no local Cypriot takes the bus anywhere. We all drive here, and I would 100% suggest you rent a car if you want to REALLY see Cyprus in all its glory! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">You can drive to the other cities, or do a road trip of the island at your own pace. The average cost of hiring a car is 15-20 euros daily. <strong>You should also know that here in Cyprus, we drive on the left side of the road, as the UK does</strong>. There are other forms of transportation too: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>By scooter</strong>. If you are set on only visiting one city, you can hire a scooter or a quad. You will find them easily accessible in touristic cities like Ayia Napa and Protaras, Paphos and Limassol. The average price is 260 euros for a week.  </li><li><strong>Supercar</strong>. Luxe travelers can hire a luxury car or hire a driver! This<strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.prestigecy.com/vip-services" target="_blank"> luxury car company,</a></strong> offers supercars, luxury cars, city cars, and SUVs for rent. </li><li><strong>By</strong> <strong>the humble bus</strong>. There is a <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.intercity-buses.com/?wp=home" target="_blank">public bus system </a></strong>available, that can take you from city to city and inland too. In the past 3 years, Cyprus has done a lot to improve the public transportation of the island. As a result, it now caters to the backpacker and humble tourist! </li></ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What are the different modes of transport available from the airport to the city?</strong></h4>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">There are 2 airports in Cyprus. The closest to Nicosia is Larnaca International Airport which is a 25-minute drive from Nicosia. Paphos Airport on the other side of the island is 2hr drive from the city. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The most used form of transportation is Kapnos Airport shuttle as it is cheap, reliable and runs regularly and through most hours of the day and night. For their timetable and fares, click <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.kapnosairportshuttle.com/fares?locale=en" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><em>TIP: Kapnos has a designated pick up spot which means that they will not be picking you up from your chosen accommodation so you will need either a taxi or a bus to get to the pickup spot.</em></pre>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Charging your devices </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">In Cyprus the power plugs and sockets are type G. The standard voltage is 240 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz. The Type G electrical plug is a British three-pin rectangular blade plug, therefore UK travelers do not need a travel adapter in Cyprus! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Visitors from Greece, the US, Canada, and South America will need an <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://amzn.to/2XKO4aK" target="_blank">International travel adapter</a></strong>. I am linking mine that I got from Amazon years ago, and still works perfectly! </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Packing Tips For Cyprus </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Make sure you pack for the heat! Think light clothing, plenty of bikinis, a <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://amzn.to/3cjYxOu" target="_blank">pashmina</a></strong> to cover up for monuments and church visiting, and plenty of sandals and flip flops.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyprus Travel Blog &#8211; Political Situation and history </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Sadly, my beautiful island is not a free country. In 1974, Turskish Troops invaded Cyprus, killed slaughtered and raped thousands, and forcibly took a chunk of the country for themselves. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The Turkish invasion of Cyprus, code-named by Turkey as Operation Atilla, was a Turkish military invasion of the island country of Cyprus. It was launched on 20 July 1974, following the Cypriot coup d&#8217;état on 15 July 1974. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">To this day, they live in our previous houses, illegally sell our land as their own, and even founded their own &#8216;fake government &#8211; a government that NO nation in the world will recognize. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">There is immense beauty to be found in the North Part of Cyprus, but<strong> I will never advise or encourage anyone to visit &#8211; both for safety and morality. </strong>If you get in any trouble there- well good luck to you because this &#8221;state&#8221; is not recognized by any state, country or organization in the world!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Safety in Cyprus </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">For optimal health, I highly suggest packing a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.tiadoestravel.com/travel/medication-travel-bag/" target="_blank"><strong>Medication Travel Bag</strong>. </a>Pharmacies are fully stocked here, but medicines are more expensive here in comparison to the UK for example! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">As for safety for travelers, <strong>Cyprus</strong>&nbsp;is generally very safe &#8211; with petty thefts occurring every now and then. Pickpocketing isn&#8217;t even common, although travelers at the beach should not leave belongings unattended! Things are easygoing here, so be careful, but no paranoid, you are safe! </p>
