Cyprus Villa Rent |
| The beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus is definitely worth considering for your next villa holiday and even if you’ve had a Cyprus villa rent before with VillaPlus.com, people return to Cyprus and discover more. Cyprus is rich in history with many wonderful places to explore – archaeological sites, museums, castles, and old Cypriot churches, all are well worth the visit. Cyprus villas with pools at VillaPlus.com will enable you to visit places of historical interest such as crusader fortresses, Greco-Roman theatres carved out of the cliffs and Byzantine monasteries perched on mountain tops. There are tiny churches, scattered throughout the mountains and even on the Akamas peninsular. Just along from Polis towards Pomos there is the well known little church of St Rafael where, it is believed, many miracles have occurred. The ‘left behind’ crutches at the church door are, it is said, a testament to this. |

| Nicosia (Lefkosia) is the capital of Cyprus and the old area is enclosed within 400 year old Venetian walls and is steeped in history with plenty to offer including churches and museums. The majority of people who have a Cyprus villa rent with VillaPlus.com fly into Paphos which was the old capital of Cyprus. The harbour with its medieval fort has a variety of boat trips and is a scenic spot to enjoy a coffee or evening meal. A two minute walk away you can see the Roman floor mosaics of the Houses of Aion, Achilles and Dionysus – the mythological scenes are amazingly well preserved. On the outskirts of Paphos town are the old cemeteries. A significant part of this large necropolis has been uncovered and is known locally as ‘The Tombs of the Kings’. It is also the place of worship of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, who rose from the waters at this spot to be born to the world. |
