Every year, many golf enthusiasts visit Cyprus to enjoy the beautiful and challenging courses, some of the best in European golf. The region has a solid cultural and historical history and a mild climate that makes Cyprus a good holiday spot.
Cyprus's beautiful and varied coastlines mean that everyone is guaranteed a fantastic time on the course and at the beach.

Cyprus is a fantastic destination for golf holidays, with its beautiful and varied coastline offering something for everyone. There are some great courses to choose from:
Meze is a delightful way to get to know the area's cuisine by tantalising the taste buds with an array of tiny dishes. Cypriot cuisine has some culinary celebrities owing to Turkish, Greek, and Middle Eastern food traditions, including halloumi and kebabs. Make sure there are a few sweet items on the menu. Sweet pastries include Baklava, which is flavoured with almonds and honey. Also, enjoy the cafe culture that is littered across the island.
The ancient ruins at Kourion have magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea. The site was an important city during the Roman period and had interesting remains, including a theatre, baths and houses. Whilst in Paphos, one can enjoy the archaeological sites of Pafos Castle, Tombs of Kings and the Pafos Mosaics.
The island country is a predominantly Christian nation with many churches and monasteries within its boundaries, including the Monastery of Kyoko. The tallest mountain range on the island is Troodos, which has some great hiking routes and a ski resort in winter.
The rugged coastline offers diverse beaches different from one another, but they are all just as beautiful. There are pebbly shores and sandy ones with calm waters to swim. Some of the best beaches include Lara beach, Aphrodite's Rock and Fig Tree Bay.

The shoulder seasons in Spring and Autumn offer the best weather to play golf as the climate is pleasant and temperatures are mild with little rain. The summer season is generally too hot for golf, with temperatures reaching mid to high thirties.
Pafos is the main airport for golf travellers arriving on the island, with flights operating from most UK airports. Flights are around four and a half hours, and we can include transfers from the airport in your holiday package.
An easy answer for travellers from the UK, as Cyprus roads drive on the left-hand side. However, we recommend car hire as it is much easier to get around from your hotel, and you'll be able to visit some of the more hidden gems on the island.
