Flights to Cyprus with Qatar Airways

Cyprus is one of the gems of the Mediterranean, with both sides of the island offering attractions and interests to all types of visitors. From beach activities to archaeological ruins, tourists will surely have their hands full upon their visit here.  Travel to Cyprus with Qatar Airways and explore one of the Mediterranean’s most popular island destinations.

Cyprus is alive with historic mosques, ancient monasteries and past ruins, legacies of the numerous empires and kingdoms that have either been based here or passed through on their way elsewhere. You can combine exploring the historic landscape with hiking and walking tours from cities such as Larnaca, which have their own cultural attractions.

If you’re based in the south of the island, you can now also travel north to see the old medieval castles and largely unspoiled beaches. Equally, in the south you’ll find predominantly Greek and Roman treasures, with many fine Byzantine remains too.  

Culturally, icon painting has long been a specialised art in Cyprus and is still practised today. In fact, frescoes and icons are what most attract visitors on cultural tours of the island, and they can be found in abundance in the numerous churches and monasteries scattered across the island.

These traditional buildings are splendid attractions for their old architecture alone. Many have now turned into museums where visitors can discover the ancient culture that runs throughout daily life in Cyprus.

All parts of southern Cyprus in particular are connected by a reliable bus service and it’s cheap and easy to get around. Alternatively, you can hire a car and explore the island at your leisure.

Fly to Cyprus with Qatar Airways and you can enjoy relaxing on some of the best beaches in the Eastern Mediterranean, or head into Larnaca for some quality shopping and dining. Cypriot cuisine is renowned for its freshness and innovation, and if you like seafood you’ll be in for a real treat.
