Mark Anthony gave Cyprus to Cleopatra as a token of his love - and he couldn't have picked a more fitting gift. Cyprus is one of the Mediterranean's most prized jewels. On the west coast, the charming, harbourside town of Paphos is one of the island's most popular resorts, combining historical treasures with a fantastic array of shops, bars and restaurants. Head inland and the Troodos Mountains flaunt exquisite Byzantine monasteries, sleepy stone-built villages and pine-scented slopes cut by cascading ice-cold streams. With so much on offer, Cyprus provides countless opportunities to discover and relax.
