To save repeating everything when asked I list below some of the things to do and see when holidaying in southern Cyprus, Most are available as organised trips or can be done by car.

Lefkosia [Nicosia]
the largest town on Cyprus.. contains many historical sites and museums, spend a day shopping and take your passport to cross the green line into the Turkish part of town

Lemesos [Limasol]
the second largest town if you pick the right day then do a trip around the Keo winery, this area also has many ancient sites but are scattered around

Pafos [Paphos]
the ancient capital of Kipros this area as well as being the main tourist area contains the ruins of the once Roman capital of the island the site has one of the best collections of Roman mosaics i have ever seen, the tombs of the kings [although no kings were entombed there] take a walk around the harbor to the old fortress, stop a while away some time in one of the tavernas [my favorite is the Pelican..but not cheap]

other main sites/things to do
visit any or all of the following.. Lefkara famous or its handmade lace, the tomb of Makarious the third [first modern priminister][no photograph's] the baths of Adonis, Aphrodite's baths, Curium has the best amphitheater on the island,Aphrodite's rock the whole island is littered with interesting small villages if you wish to see the true Cyprus, but remember when away from resort/main tourist areas do not expect everyone to speak English],

Cyprus has more than its fair share of old churches and monasteries to visit [Kykkos being the most famous] these can usual be combined with a trip round the Trodos Mountains...Ladies PLEASE ware long trousers or mid to long skirt[or wrap] and a long sleeved blouse when visiting religious buildings]

A day at Water world,[ near Agia Napa] the islands largest water park [take plenty of soft drink/water you will need it]

if you are in the east of the island then try the Magic dancing water show at Protaras

Depending on what part of the island you visit there are a myriad of more touristy things to do, including Jeep safaris, boat trips, scuba diving,traditional Cypriot nights out

if you are hiring your own transport PLEASE use a car, I do not recommend the use of scooters/motorcycles and quads the roads of the island are not the best i have seen, the locals drive like complete nutters, and the accident rate is appalling, most deaths/injuries each year are to off islanders and usually involve 2 wheeled transport
