Cyprus

Cyprus. From Roman ruins set beside the azure Mediterranean to lush, cool mountains asking you to mountain bike through them, Cyprus has an incredible variety of experiences to offer!

The south is closely tied to Greece and a part of the EU. It was a great place to practice my Romanian as a huge percentage of the service workers were Romanian! They even had Romanian stores offering traditional Romanian foods, like Cascaval and Telemea cheese.

Then you cross into the Turkish rooted northern side of the island to find a less tourist centered and perhaps more authentic experience. Poorer than the south - yes. But when it came to warm interactions with the Cypriotes, the north was where it was at!

My dream is to return. Through Turkey. And to cross on the ferry. On my motorcycle!

I've also posted a collection of interesting Cypriote signs on my Facebook page.

Enjoy!

beautiful artwork
This post is amazing! I never knew this artwork and architecture existed in Cyprus. Gives it that much more culture. What was your favourite part? Will you be returning soon?

I do want to return!
Thanks for your comment. I do want to return. I especially want to spend more time in the north and explore the Roman ruins up there!
