Eastern Mediterranean Cyprus neighboring Cultural Middle East

Cyprus may be considered as Europe's sun rising country, however is just 25 minutes flight from Lebanon's Beirut airport and just an hour's flight from Cairo-Egypt, Amman-Jordan, Tel Aviv-Israel. Located between or surrounded by Greece and Turkey. Cyprus with more than 11000years of history has a lot to explore. I am aware that millions of people from USA, or Japan - China and Australia, visit every year Petra in Jordan, Pyramids in Egypt and Jerusalem - Israel. Or even a combination of all these countries. All above countries have historical culture to promote. So as our small island in the eastern mediterranean. Cyprus may be well known for its sunshiny days and beach holidays or tourist night life in certain resorts surely mostly to europeans, however as mentioned earlier has a lot of history and surely worth at least a 3nights/4 days stay on the island. Other authors have written extensively on the sites / monuments - Unesco protected or byzantine sites of Cyprus and have thought is no need to repeat these once again. Just wanted to give emphasis on the fact that Cyprus is so close to Middle East and those of the travelers will be travelling to Middle Eastern countries perhaps they would consider including Cyprus in their itinerary with the assistance of their local travel consultant at the origin point. If it helps i usually recommend to our associates abroad that is best they have their customers accommodated in Limassol. Limassol based visitors can explore one day to western Cyprus - Paphos, one day to the mountain - central cyprus and the third day to Capital Nicosia or to eastern Cyprus (Larnaca - Ayia Napa area). Additionally we should note that Limassol is open all year round which makes it ideal as it combines beach, shopping and big city facilities. The two international airports of Paphos and Larnaca are just 50 minutes drive.
