| Cyprus with its mountainous landscapes, cobbled paths, uneven pavements planted with trees does not immediately sound like a wheelchair friendly holiday destination.
However the most towns in Cyprus are flat and most places are easily accessible with a wheelchair. In Lefkosia (Nicosia), quite a number of roads have ramps as well as certain entertainment places. Also there are several organizations, companies and people who specialize in holidays for the disabled, renting equipment, providing airport transfers and excursions in specially adapted transfer vehicles, disabled friendly accommodation and whatever care you may need during your holiday in Cyprus. In Cyprus there are many wheelchair friendly self catering bungalows, single storey villas and ground floor apartments to choose from, with good accessibility for wheelchairs, slopes, ramps, wide doorways and specially adapted kitchen and bathroom facilities. Family-sized farmhouses, cottages and condos or apartments not on the ground floor can also be wheelchair friendly (with lift access or ground floor en-suite bedrooms), as well as provide suitable accommodation for other family members. All disabled holiday home budgets are catered for with a huge selection of wheelchair friendly accommodation available; from bed and breakfasts to luxury penthouse apartments, many having their own pools and some of which have direct access on to a beach. All the usual attributes of a sunshine holiday can be enjoyed from the comfort of our wheelchair friendly holiday homes, including accessibility to beaches and opportunities for sightseeing, shopping and dining out.

Hotels in all parts of the island have a comprehensive range of facilities, meeting the requirements of disabled persons.

Entertainment & Nightlife Cyprus has a panoply of choices for night owls of all feathers. You will find traditional entertainment - folk music and dancing - at numerous tavernas and restaurants in the cities as well as in many villages. Tavernas offer a tantalizing selection of local food, and dessert is often on the house for visitors. You're sure to enjoy this festive look into many of the colourful customs of old Cyprus. Nightclubs of all stripes are found in Lemesos (Limassol) and Lefkosia (Nicosia), Larnaka and Pafos but especially in Lemesos (Limassol) and Agia Napa. The latter is a resort in the eastern part of Cyprus now known as an international clubbing destination, widely recognized for its British House Garage sounds, up-and-coming DJs and festive atmosphere. The action usually gets started late - towards midnight, unless the club also doubles as a restaurant or cafe. Aphrodite It was around 1200 BC when Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, emerged from the gentle jade-colored sea foam at Petra tou Romiou, a boulder that juts up from the south coast of Cyprus as majestically today as it did then. The name Aphrodite, in fact, means "foam born." She was the most ancient goddess in the Olympian pantheon.As you travel around Cyprus you will see how it is touched by the spirit of Aphrodite - a spirit of gentleness, beauty and love.
