Cyprus is the Mediterranean’s third-largest island, split by a UN buffer zone. The south holds Limassol, Paphos with its Roman mosaics and Ayia Napa with sandy beaches, while the Troodos mountains keep frescoed churches and cool villages. Nicosia remains Europe’s last divided capital. The swimming season is among the longest in the region; winters are mild and wet.
