At the crossing roads of civilizations since the Stone age Cyprus was and is still a fertile ground to grow unique features deriving from the synthesis of neighboring influences on one side and 100% Cypriot cultural and natural products on the other side.

In this journey, we skip the known sites like Nicosia, the last divided capital of the world, Kyrenia and Paphos and we dive in the hidden gems of Cyprus from the Aphrodite's baths in the Akamas peninsula to the St Andrew Monastery in the Karpaz peninsula.

Follow me through rare floor mosaics from early Christianity, unique presences of Catholic Maronites, Armenians, enclaved Orthodox Greek Cypriots and sufi communities, almost shocking frescoes in the latino-Byzantine style, innovative copper mines and much more!
