#cruisetrip I recently returned from an unforgettable Mediterranean cruise, and I’m still buzzing from the experience! 🛳️ The journey took me to three stunning destinations: Malta, Cyprus, and Mallorca, each offering its own unique charm and beauty. First stop was Malta, and let me tell you, Valletta is like stepping into a postcard. The architecture is incredible, and St. John’s Co-Cathedral is a must-see. We spent the day wandering the narrow streets, soaking in the history. The entrance fee for the cathedral was around €15, but it’s worth every cent for the intricate interiors alone. Plus, the harbor views are just breathtaking. 🌅 Next up was Cyprus, where we docked in Limassol. From there, we took a short trip to the ancient city of Kourion. The ruins, especially the amphitheater overlooking the sea, were absolutely stunning. Cyprus is a blend of ancient history and beautiful beaches, and the local food was a highlight—don’t miss out on trying some traditional meze! 🍽️ We spent the afternoon lounging at Lady’s Mile Beach, a perfect spot for relaxation. Our final stop was Mallorca, where Palma stole my heart. The island is vibrant and full of life, with something for everyone. We visited the iconic Palma Cathedral, which is just as impressive as it looks in photos. Entrance was about €8. The winding streets of the old town are perfect for exploring, and the beaches, like Playa de Palma, are perfect for a lazy day by the sea. 🏖️ This cruise was everything I hoped for—stunning locations, rich history, and plenty of sunshine. Whether you’re into sightseeing, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying local cuisine, this Mediterranean route has it all. I’m already dreaming of my next adventure! ☀️ #trip #MediterraneanCruise #Malta #Cyprus #Mallorca #TravelDiaries

#summerdestinations Visiting the Edro III Shipwreck in Cyprus was an unforgettable part of my summer vacation! 🚢 Situated on the beautiful coastline near Peyia, this eerie yet fascinating shipwreck has become a popular attraction. The best part? There’s no entrance fee; you can simply drive to the nearby viewpoint and take in the scene. The wreckage of the Edro III, which ran aground in 2011, creates a striking contrast against the turquoise waters and rugged cliffs. It's a fantastic spot for photography and gives a real sense of adventure. Nearby, we enjoyed exploring the charming town of Peyia and the stunning Coral Bay beach, which is just a short drive away. 🏖️📸 The Edro III is definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in maritime history or just looking for an intriguing sight along Cyprus's coast. #trip #localguides #EdroIII #Cyprus #Shipwreck #CoastalAdventure

#freehotelstay Manolya Resort Hotel is located in the Labta region of Cyprus and is located on the seafront. There are nice restaurants around, and you can also have your meal in the hotel. The hotel is extremely quiet, peaceful, the pool is well-kept and clean, and the staff is very friendly. The sea is also quite beautiful, whether you swim in the sea or in the pool. The rooms are very clean, the room we stayed in was two-storey, there are 2 single beds on the upper floor, and a sofa and a bathroom on the lower floor. You can have your breakfast as an open buffet, with a wide variety of options, accompanied by a sea view. Everything was perfect, it was a very nice hotel in terms of price performance. I will stay in here again and again in the future. #beachvacation #cyprus #travelinspiration #staycation

Beautiful beaches, colourful skies, good food, not crowded and most importantly the locals here is friendly. I have travelled to few other places and I personally rated Larnaca as my top 5 place I would revisit. I only got to spend one night there and I regretted cause I should’ve stayed for at least 3-4 night there. I reached there in the afternoon, and it’s bit warm even in December but its bit chilly after 7pm. I walked around the neighbourhood area and yes its safe for solo female travellers. Sunset view in Larnaca is majestic and you can see plane landing from Mackenzie or Finikoudes beach- almost beat Oia, Santorini sunset in my opinion. For cat lover, Larnaca is a cat haven. You can see cats roaming around the island and it’s cute. You may bring some treats with you cause some of the cats is quite approachable and friendly. #hiddengem #larnaca #cyprus

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is a fascinating city that seamlessly blends its rich history with modern-day life. Its old town is a maze of narrow streets, traditional houses and stunning landmarks. Despite its ancient roots, Nicosia is a dynamic and modern city, with a buzzing nightlife, an array of shopping opportunities, and a diverse culinary scene that showcases both traditional Cypriot cuisine and international flavors. Nicosia is a perfect balance between honoring its past and embracing its future. #nicosia #explorenicosia #oldtownnicosia #cyprus

📍 Sea Caves, Ayia Napa, Cyprus My favorite spot in Ayia Napa, stunning natural landmark. Legend says that the caves were used by pirates and smugglers of the Mediterranean to hide their treasures. & If you're planning to visit this place make sure that you came in the morning or in the evening to enjoy sunrise/sunset and the magical view 🌊 #newyearadventure #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #cyprus

The Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos (Paphos) is one of the most important archaeological sites in Cyprus. Since 1980, it has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is important to note that Paphos was the capital city of Cyprus between 2nd Century BC and 4th Century AD. The park is extremely huge and the entrance fee (€4.50) is truly worth the money and time! My favourite site is the Villa House of Aion with its marvellous and most detailed mosaics on display, dating from 4th Century BC to the Middle Ages. There are also other Houses with even more mosaics for you to admire. Remember to enjoy the site at your own pace using a self-guided tour. #celebratewithtrip #cyprus #paphos

#mytripvlog #paphos #cyprus #hyperlapse A nice hyperlapse of my walk alongside the Paphos coast. Beautiful weather, sea, palm trees and lots of sunshine 🌞

When I’m on holiday, I love to bask in the sun whilst sipping on a cold beverage whilst soaking up some sun and delicious food! 
Well, the pictures do not do this place justice! I was nervous to go there at first given some of the reviews I saw online with people commenting on disappointing food and service. BUT, for my visit everything was great - service was good and attentive and food was delicious! MOST of all was enjoying the sunset in Paphos! 📍Restaurant name: Muse Cafe Kitchen Bar 🏷Price band: ££-£££ 👅Taste: ***** 👩‍🔧Service: ***** Tips: Book in advance or arrive early! #eurotrip #cyprus #paphos #traveltheotherside #travelwithme #theotherside #muse

#eurotrip #summervacation #hotel For this holiday we chose to stay in an all inclusive, beachfront hotel: Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa. The hotel itself was great, with good service and great amenities including pool/ beach bar, jacuzzi, spa, sunbeds and parasols at the beach and a number of restaurants to choose from. One thing to mention is that this is an adult only hotel – no kiddos allowed. The hotel also features some VIP villas (very few though) and a few swim up rooms if that’s what floats your boat! If you are going with kids, you might want to choose the adjacent sister hotel Leonardo Cypria Bay and benefit from the services both hotels offer. Although not our style of hotel initially (as we do like more village style hotels) we still went for this as in Paphos these type of hotels are more prevalent. #paphos #cyprus #allinclusive

#eurotrip to #paphos in #cyprus Paphos, pronounced /ˈpæfɒs/ (Greek: Πάφος [ˈpafos]; Turkish: Baf) is a coastal city in southwest Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District. In antiquity, there were 2 Paphos: Old Paphos, today known as Kouklia and New Paphos. New Paphos became the old town ruins by the marina which we will explore later on. The city has no more than 36 000 inhabitants and a history that dates back to 300 B.C.. Paphos and Cyprus in general have changed hands over the course of its history many times. From when the early Greek settlers arrived through to French aristocrats, Venetians, Turks and later on the British. Today the city is part of the independent nation of Cyprus although unification with Greece (enosis) remains a taboo topic. Paphos is a tourist destination with the season stretching from March till October as temperatures don’t really go down. Some say winter is also good to come as you enjoy temperatures on average of 15° C. The beaches in the Paphos area aren’t necessarily sandy like we’ve described in our Dominican Republic and Mexican trips. This doesn’t mean there isn’t sand either however entering the water can be a bit tricky given the rocky coastline. Having said all of these, the coast line is filled with hotels that offer tourists a much needed retreat from today’s ever busy and congested world. #passionpassport #awesomepic

Cyprus is a jewel of the eastern Mediterranean. This country has historical, mythical and cultural destinations: visitors can visit various archaeological sites or opt for other outdoor activities such as annual festivals, hiking, water sports and places of interest to see in Chipe. One place that, despite being small, has gained a lot of notoriety is Cyprus. Famous for its beauty since ancient times, this country is famous all over the world. The best local beach if you want to get away from the resort and get back to nature, Konnos has a narrow semi-circle of sparkling white sands and crystal clear waters. This bay is surrounded by long rocky spurs that help protect the beach from prevailing currents and winds. Yachts often dock in the bay and these shallows are perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Facilities are a bit more sparse than Ayia Napa's resort beaches, but you can still hire jet skis here or grab a bite to eat at the beachside bars. #passionpassport #staycation #gooutside #cyprus

#summerdestinations Visiting Kykkos Monastery in Cyprus was a memorable part of my summer vacation! 🏛️ Nestled in the Troodos Mountains, this beautiful and historic monastery offers a serene escape and a glimpse into Cyprus's rich religious heritage. The entrance is free, but donations are welcome, which supports the upkeep of this stunning site. The monastery is renowned for its impressive frescoes and ornate interior, including a treasure trove of religious artifacts and icons. The panoramic views of the surrounding mountains from the monastery are breathtaking and worth the drive up the winding roads. 🏔️ Nearby, we explored the charming mountain villages and enjoyed some local Cypriot cuisine, adding a delightful touch to our visit.

#summerdestinations Hiking the Avakas Gorge Nature Trail in Cyprus was a standout adventure during my summer vacation! 🌄 Located in the Akamas Peninsula, this trail offers an incredible journey through a stunning limestone gorge. The entrance to the trail is free, which is a great bonus for such an immersive natural experience. The hike through the gorge is both challenging and rewarding, with narrow paths and towering rock formations that make you feel small in the best way possible. 🏞️ The trail’s highlight is the impressive rock walls that rise up dramatically, and the scenic views are absolutely worth the effort. Nearby, we explored the Akamas Peninsula’s other natural wonders and enjoyed some relaxing time at the nearby beaches. 🏖️ If you love hiking and nature, Avakas Gorge is a must-visit destination! #trip #localguides #AvakasGorge #Cyprus #HikingAdventures #NatureEscape

Went to Cyprus with Wizz Air and returned back to UK with my mum and sister. It was a great time. Looking to book again for September after my training is complete. 😃🤞🏼#cyprus #uk

We had the best time visiting our homeland of Cyprus! #cyprus #Homeland #larnaca

Cyprus was amazing. I would have taken more pictures of the country but I liked myself more 😥#cyprus #photogenic

#cyprus very nice country I travelled there for 3 months and it was one of the best places I ever went to!

PAFOS, Cyprus 🇨🇾 WHERE APOSTLE PAUL WAS WHIPPED!! 2 Corinthians 11:24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, Paul’s predicaments are based on historical accounts outside of the Biblical scriptures, but are derived from early Christian traditions and writings. It's important to recognize that while the Bible is a central religious text, it does not contain every historical detail, and there are other sources that contribute to our understanding of early Christian history. The Bible serves as a standard of living and contains testimonials for believers to follow. ##pafos ##episkopi ##akrotiri ##familytrip ##stpaulspillar #jasminzubidawrites #inthefootstepsofpaul #limassol #biblehistory #history #saltlake #Cyprus #paul #barnabas
