Among the most beautiful beaches, we can mention Nissi Bay beach, located west of Agia Napa. With its 300 metres of golden sand and its small islet accessible on foot, it is a real little corner of paradise. Not far from there, the rocky beach of Katsarka and its turquoise waters invite you to swim and do water sports. Equipped with deckchairs, parasols and changing rooms, these beaches also benefit from the prestigious Blue Flag label, a guarantee of their quality and cleanliness.

This place is of course Cyprus. Better still, the island is not just about its beaches. It also contains many cultural and historical treasures to discover, such as its capital Nicosia. The only city in the world still divided by a wall, it bears witness to the island's turbulent past, with Venetian, Ottoman and Byzantine influences. The Chrysaliniotissa district and its traditional houses from the early 20th century are particularly worth a visit, as are the Archangelos Michael church and the Omeriye mosque.

For a panoramic view of both parts of the city, head to the Shacolas observation tower and its 11 floors. From there, you can immortalize the camaïeu of red-tiled roofs and white walls. History buffs will also appreciate the traditional Turkish bath Hamam Omerye, a testament to the diversity of influences that have shaped the island.

After this cultural immersion, there is nothing like a trip to Larnaca Beach, just a few minutes' drive from Nicosia, to relax and enjoy the mild autumn weather. With its calm waters and mild temperatures, it is perfect for a break. Enough to come back with your head full of memories and the desire to go back soon to enjoy the sun in all seasons.
