We are Maria and Chris, a sister and a brother, proud Cypriots living in our beloved Cyprus.
Our island seamlessly combines sea, mountains, vibrant nightlife, cities, UNESCO archaeological sites with a rich history, picturesque villages and stunning beaches.
How do we know this?
Because we are locals, born and raised on this beautiful island. Cyprus is not just our home; it's our holiday paradise.
Whether it's the warmth of summer or the coziness of winter, we find ourselves exploring the charming villages of Troodos mountains, indulging in the crystal clear waters of our beaches, enjoying meals at our favorite restaurants or embarking on a safari in Akamas with quads...
...and the list goes on.
For over 30 years, we've been traversing the island, initially with our parents and later on our own.
We've witnessed and experienced it all.
Our love for travel ignited when our parents took us on our inaugural road trip around the island as kids. Followed by memorable journeys to Greece - a country, like Cyprus steeped in history.
Every year, we travelled with our parents to the most enchanting places on the island, exploring Paphos, Troodos mountains, Limassol, Ayia Napa and Protaras, Larnaca and our home town Nicosia, right in the middle...the heart of the island.
As we grew up, our passion for travel intensified.
So - beyond touring our beloved island - we explored various destinations including Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Kalamata and many more), numerous Greek islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Andros, Tinos, Paros, Naxos, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada, Skopelos, Skiathos, Patmos, Kalymnos, Amorgos and many more), Munich in Germany, Paris in France, Kenya and Egypt in Africa, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, England, Wales, Scotland (Great Britain) and Northern Ireland, Ireland, Israel, Warsaw in Poland, Malta, Budapest in Hungary and the list goes on.
