Cyprus, 9 Days · Tailor-made by car
Greek mythology says that Cronus, after castrating his own father Uranus, threw his genitals into the sea where they formed a new being among the foam, Aphrodite. Once the figure of the goddess of beauty and love had been created, she was brought to the surface in a huge seashell, an image immortalised by the Renaissance painter Botticelli's masterpiece, The Birth of Venus (the Roman equivalent of Aphrodite). The place where the goddess appeared from the waters is found on a tiny romantic beach on the southwestern coast of Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean. It's home to a spectacular sea stack that is the cradle of this popular legend, the famous Petra tou Romiou. This is why Cyprus bears the nickname of the Island of Aphrodite, yet there are many more archaeological remains in the country that make reference to the goddess. And, of course, the country truly reflects its title as the birthplace of Aphrodite, with attractions including the lush forests of the Troodos Mountain and a stunning coastline peppered with heavenly beaches. We'd like to suggest a road trip laden with history and archaeology on which you'll discover not only Petra tou Romiou, but also the legacy of Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Ottomans and the British. But Cyprus is much more than its long and frenetic past. It's also a modern and vibrant sun-and-sand destination blessed with crystal-clear waters, picture-postcard beaches, entertainment for all ages and a lively nightlife, focused around the party resort of Ayia Napa. In short, the island is truly on a par with other popular Mediterranean destinations. Come and discover the wonderful island of Cyprus with your partner, your family or your friends. You definitely won't regret it!

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
