Top 10 Best of the Rest
-
1. Alassa Park
This green oasis, with an aviary and flock of peacocks, makes a pleasant change from busy Limassol.
-
2. Akrotiri Peninsula
The peninsula’s salt lake is a refuge in winter for bright pink flamingoes and other migrant birds.
-
3. Vouni Donkey Sanctuary
Vouni is a half-deserted spot whose old-fashioned houses have earned it conservation-area status. The sanctuary at Stena, just outside the village, gives a retirement home to more than 100 donkeys.
-
4. Chryssorogiatissa Monastery
This monastery produces some of the island’s best wines. Within is a museum of religious paraphernalia.
-
5. Panagia tou Sinti
The former monastery was left to crumble after the Venetians were driven from Cyprus by the Ottomans, but it underwent restoration in 1997.
-
6. Aphrodite Waterpark
This visitor attraction has dozens of different thrills, spills, chutes and pools (see Aphrodite Waterpark, Pafos).
-
7. Maa
Maa is believed to be the first Greek-Mycenaean settlement in Cyprus. At the small museum weapons, amulets and jewellery are on display.
-
8. Lempa Neolithic Village
Primitive round-houses have been excavated by archaeologists on the site of a chalkolithic settlement.
-
9. Baths of Aphrodite
Hidden away in a tiny valley is the goddess’s mythical bathing pool. Around the spring is a network of walking trails.
-
10. Polis
A combination of farming village and low-key resort, Polis has an uncrowded beach and a small seaport, Latsi, with fish tavernas.
