"Holidays in Cyprus" is a broad topic for the single reason that it is one of the island's single largest money earners. Tourism from the main European countries has been the driving force to many of the face lifts the island has experienced over the last few years.
From a property boom, to entire towns being developed to cater for the budget holiday maker such as Ayia Napa which was formerly a sleepy fishing village that was founded by refugees from the war in 1975 during the Turkish invasion.
The country itself has many holidays as listed above, and many are based on religious events and celebrations. Religion plays such a pivotal role in the country's affairs that the church is the most powerful organization in Cyprus.
To experience the diversity of the country one only has to visit their local holiday travel shop to see what one means when they say "The island of Aphrodite".
