Where teams grow, together
Cyprus compresses an unusual amount of range into a small island: the Troodos Mountains, the Akamas Peninsula, and Mdina's ancient walls, all shaped by centuries of overlapping history.
✈️ Main airport: Larnaca International; train stations limited.
📍 Top visitor hubs: Larnaca, Paphos, Limassol.
