Your Holidays in the Cyprus countryside
The Cyprus countryside is endowed with inexhaustible historical, natural and human riches, generously revealed to the visitor. Its traditional villages, enhance and complement a wonderful natural environment, with their local character, traditional architecture and village planning.
Such places are conducive to a harmonious coexistence of man with nature, a coexistence sought by more and more visitors on their holidays.
Within such an environment the visitor has the benefit of the daily hands-on experience of the rich traditions of village people: the simple, serene rhythms of rural life, folk customs, daily activities, and the authentic tastes of traditional cuisine; all filtered through the sense of genuine hospitality.
The Cyprus Tourism Organisation, having considered this new trend of visitors wishing to experience a new, alternative way to holidaymaking, has set in motion a programme of restoration of traditional houses and enhancement of the traditional element in Cyprus villages, within the framework of the philosophy of agrotourism. The need for a better and more organised co-ordination of agrotourism led to the establishment of the Cyprus Agrotourism Company, a body dealing exclusively with holidays in the Cyprus countryside.
