Cyprus by Day

Pampering
Londa
Boutique hotel Londa’s Spa, Health and Fitness Centre is the perfect place to recover from the pressures of daily life through exercise, pampering and relaxation. Help to balance body and mind through the Londa’s anti-stress, anti-aging, weight control, fitness and revitalization programmes.

Sights
Beaches
Governor’s Beach is located 25 kilometres outside Limassol and is lavishly draped with ivory-coloured rocks and caves. Follow the immense, dazzling coastline of Lady’s Mile beach whose crystalline waters attract devoted sun-seekers but there is a distinct lack of shade so come prepared with a parasol in hand.

Shopping
Top Streets
The traditional shopping streets of chic Limossol are St. Andrew’s and Anexartisias. Stock up on tailor-made leather sandals and enhance your poolside style by snapping up silk harem pants and sheer sequinned tops by hot Cypriot designer Pantelis Mitsu, of Mitsu Mitsu. For feel-good frittering of your Cyprus pounds, visit the Cyprus Handicraft Centre on Themidos 25.

Traditional Crafts
All kinds of traditional crafts can be bought in Cyprus such as leather, pottery and other exquisite products. Perhaps the most beautiful and rare is handmade Cypriot lace, which has become an endangered craft as not enough young women are taking the place of the elder craft women.

Activities
Diving
Diving of all kinds is available in Cyprus and with the thousands of wrecks that litter the glittering coastline, divers of every proficiency level are sure to find an exciting site to explore. Opportunities also abound for windsurfing, paragliding and swimming.

Hiking
The many unspoilt areas in Cyprus make the land ideal for hiking: recommended nature trails include Atalante, Kaledonia and Persephone in the Troodos area and Aphrodite and Adonis in the Akamas area, with other trails in the forests of Machairas and Limassol

Golf
Golf enthusiasts will enjoy playing on Cyprus’ three excelsior courses: the Tsada Golf Club, an 18-hole course, situated near Tsada village, 15 minutes' drive north of Pafos town; The Secret Valley Golf Club, also 18-hole, situated 18km (11 miles) east of Pafos and 49km (30 miles) from Limassol; and the Aphrodite Hills 18-hole course in Limassol.

Bites
