Cyprus drives on the left, like the UK. The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
April to June and September to October are best, sunny and hot without the peak heat. July and August are very hot. Winters are mild and sunny enough for walks and sightseeing, though too cool for most to swim.
Roman villas with amazing floor mosaics, by the harbour.
The legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, on a pebbly beach.
A short, shady walk between towering rock walls.
Snorkel in clear turquoise water off the Akamas peninsula.
A sandy beach with shallow water, popular with families.
A good-sized zoo with bird shows, 20 minutes north of town.
Yes. It feels familiar for British families, with English widely spoken, UK plugs and driving on the left, plus lots of family hotels.
A week mixes beach days with a boat trip and a day in the Troodos mountains.
No, British passport holders can visit for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. New EU entry checks are being brought in, so check GOV.UK before you travel.
About four and a half to five hours from the UK.
Put Paphos on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
