What to see in Cyprus?

Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Cyprus is one of those unique resorts that allow holidaymakers to endlessly have fun - almost all day and night. In other words, there really is something to see. And the first town that is worth a visit - of course, the capital of the island, the city of Nicosia.

Nicosia is famous not only for its official status of the capital of the country, but also for numerous ancient buildings .Like many ancient capitals, Nicosia is conditionally divided into two large areas - the old and the new city .Lovers of antiquities will surely appreciate the bastions surrounded by walls - defensive structures, which were created by foreign Venetians in the Middle Ages .If you delve a little farther into the area of ​​the old city, you can, practically in its pristine form, see with your own eyes the urban settlement of the beginning of the last millennium - all these buildings make an indelible impression of .

The "new city" area, of course, will please the hedonists of a new wave with their clubs and slightly more trivial entertainments.

Larnaka is another amazing place on earth where Islam and Christianity are more closely and ambiguously close than ever. One of the most revered Muslim mosques and the Christian church, erected in honor of St. Lazarus, are almost in the neighborhood. It is noteworthy that the righteous Lazarus and a relative of the Muslim prophet once died on this earth. Those who simply dream of reconciling such great world religions, simply have to see this place with their own eyes.

Not far from Limassol there is a monastery of St. Helena, in which a special place is given to representatives of the genus of felines. For a long time they were here divorced for hunting snakes and other unsuitable animals, but eventually all parasites were exterminated, and cats remained to feed for the monastic count. So they still live in the district, delighting local residents and visitors from different countries.

But the main value and attraction of Cyprus are, after all, beaches on which you can sunbathe almost infinitely.
