Different Worlds

Not all of the differences are quite so obvious.


There are six regions in Cyprus, for tourists, the differing characteristics of certain regions can be obvious. It would be difficult to confuse the mountains of Troodos with the rolling hills of Akamas. The beaches of Limassol are a far cry from the white beaches and turquoise sea of Famagusta.

All of the regions of Cyprus are very distinctive and often the landscape and way of life changes quite dramatically between one region and the next. Although Cypriot is spoken throughout Cyprus, many of the regions have their own dialects.

The main thing that makes each Cypriot region unique is the attitude of the people. Cypriots are fiercely loyal to their own region, each believing that theirs is better than any other.They love the landscape of their own home and think their region's climate is the best and steadfastly hang on to every tradition and fragment of culture that is historically theirs.
