But if you’re more of a nature enthusiast, Cyprus has got you covered too! April is the greenest month of the year on the island. The rugged interior is then bursting with life.
Take a stroll along the pathways and marvel at the abundance of wildflowers and orchids that bloom along the hillsides. And as you walk, breathe in the sweet scent of fragrant herbs that fill the air and invigorate your senses.
