Aktywnie na Cyprze
Pod kątem aktywnej turystyki największą popularnością na Cyprze cieszy się pasmo gór Troodos. To właśnie tam wznosi się najwyższy szczyt wyspy, czyli Olimp (1951 m n.p.m.). W obrębie całego pasma wytyczono liczne szlaki piesze, a także lekkie trasy spacerowe. Jeśli natomiast preferujesz sporty wodne, to na Cyprze będziesz mógł np. nurkować. Popularnym celem wśród nurków są okolice półwyspu Akamas.
Waluta Cypru
Na Cyprze, a dokładniej w jego południowej części, obowiązuje Euro. Jeśli jednak zdecydujesz się na odwiedziny na Cyprze Północnym (gdzie obowiązuje lira turecka), raczej nie będziesz miał problemów z płaceniem w tej walucie. Bankomaty są dość powszechne, podobnie jak płatność kartą.
