The underwater coastal reefs teem with a wide variety of colourful fish, sponges, coral, sea anemones, octopus, mussels and the ubiquitous sea urchin providing a spectacular experience. Sea turtles can be spotted regularly, thanks to a turtle conservation project that has increased their numbers around the island considerably. Stunning underwater caves and tunnels and a number of interesting paths are just waiting to be explored, while the remains of ancient amphora and stone anchors make it a veritable adventure. |

The turbulent political climate in some of the nearby Middle Eastern countries has led to various companies choosing Cyprus as a new base for their activities in the region.

A convenient feature is that all street names, direction signs, shop signboards etc. are written in English.
