Between the Blue and the Green: Unveiling the Untamed Nature of Cyprus

1. The Island of Contrasts

When people think of Cyprus, they often picture sun-drenched resorts and ancient ruins. However, the true soul of the island lies in its remarkable geographical diversity. Despite its relatively small size, Cyprus is a geological mosaic where landscapes shift dramatically within a short drive. You can swim in crystal-clear warm waters in the morning and hike through cool, cedar-scented forests in the afternoon. It is this proximity of extremes—the arid coastal scrub versus the lush mountain peaks—that makes the island’s nature so captivating.
