On the edge of Europe and Asia, this small island is loved for its beaches, nightlife and the consistently warm and sunny weather. Nicosia is a capital of a country that's still technically at war and divided in two. But before you abandon your trip, its worth noting that the situation has been well pacified since the late 1970s, and while there are still checkpoints, both the Greek and Turkish communities can move around with ease. And you'll be able to as well, in order to explore the many museums which detail the country's history. Kourion is an archaeological site from the Byzantine period that's technically in British territory, the military base of Akrotiri et Dhekelia. But once again, it's easily accessible to visitors. The Troodos Mountains showcase the most spellbinding hills and mountains, as well as ancient monasteries and churches meaning history and hiking don't have to be separate activities. And finally, beaches of course. The most popular are located in Limassol and Ayia Napa, both are equally loved by younger generations for the nightlife and endless choice of venues that stay open till dawn.
