/ ancient history /

THE FACTS AND MYTHS of Ancient Cyprus Cyprus is a large Island situated in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea in Europe. It is surrounded by Greece in the East, The Levant in the West, Egypt in the North, and Asia Minor in the South. The Island was occupied by the Assyrians, the Persians, the Egyptians, including the Crusaders, and the Venetians. The first presence of humans on the Copper rich Island was traced way back to 7000 BCE.

CCORDING to historians, a small group of settlers migrating from Palestine came to reside on the Island (3900 BCE). Due to the different uprisings and the war in the eastern region, the Mycenaean Greeks preferred to settle in the Island in the 12th century, and the locals assimilated the Greek culture, language, and religion. Achaean settlers from Argos founded the city of Kourion which is close to Limassol. The Island was conquered by Egypt, Persia, and was also invaded by the Greeks many centuries ago. Cyprus had ten kingdoms, and the conquerors had a high impact on the character and cultural heritage of Cypriots. There were different forms of dwarfs such as Pygmy hippos and dwarf elephants previously present in ancient Cyprus Island before the arrival of humans as evidenced by the archaeological findings of burnt bones stacked in the camps. The early humans in the Island lived in caves, and it was an agrarian community, and the first animals in the Island were cattle, pigs, sheep, dog, and goats, including wild animals such as deer and foxes. A toolkit discovered in the cave located at Akrotiri Peninsula is the oldest evidence of human presence in the Island. THE ERA OF CIVILIZATION IN CYPRUS The earliest signs of civilization came with the building of round houses by the settlers; hence the Neolithic period was marked by the erection of round houses, stone vessels with an economy that relied on animal husbandry, and lithic industry. Lots of stone vessels were discovered during the excavations conducted in the region.

Archaeologists also discovered water wells especially in the western part of the Island reputed as one of the oldest in the world. Life expectancy was pretty short with an average of 34 years, and there was a high rate of infant mortality. An earthquake in 3800 BC ruined the Neolithic culture, so an internal evolution began with the emergence of metalwork and the Chalcolithic period characterised by copper and stone civilization which was the Stone Age. The bronze era in Cyrus started around 2400 BC with the coming of settlers from Anatolia to the Island and this gradually led to a change in the economy and technological advancements. The middle bronze era witnessed a consistent and peaceful development, while the Cypro-Minoan Syllabary introduced literacy in Cyprus in the late bronze era. These are some of the facts surrounding ancient Cyprus millions of years ago, and it gives a clear insight on how the Island got its bearing and development through different stages of civilisation. • 2018 EDITION

Myth about

The Berengaria Hotel

The Berengaria hotel spreads stupendously across the Troodos Mountains with great scenery of Prodromos village and surroundings in Cyprus, but it’s now a shadow of it's past glory. You would get some insights relating to why the hotel was left to rot, and the reasons it’s a tourist attraction even with the stories and myths that besiege the building.

HE HOTEL was established years ago in 1931 and played host to the high and mighty including royalties and other upper class individuals, by providing excellent entertainment services for the crème de ’la crème. However, the hotel was shut down in 1984 after 53 years of operation. Although the hotel stood the test of time for over five decades, its present state is a sorry sight to behold as the once grand edifice lies in waste and depreciation due to environmental factors. Berengaria Hotel is a tourist attraction no doubt but quite unsafe especially for people who aren’t familiar with the terrain. Local residents are inquisitive to know more about the hotel that served several reputable guests and see things for themselves first-hand; tourists also wish to get a glimpse of the magnificent building. The hotel has a reputation that precedes it as a haunted house and the myth has spread down family lines. Several stories about ghosts can be traced to the hotel all with a similar trait of the victims being killed there, and as such their ghosts lurk around the building seeking for vengeance. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BERENGARIA HOTEL The hotel got its name in honor of Queen Berengaria of Navarre, wife of King Richard1 of England. With such a colorful history that attracted diverse people from all walks of life, it’s difficult to keep people away. The present owner of the hotel ‘Michalis Ioannides’, is worried about safety especially for children since he stated that some parts of the building are dangerous. Precautionary measures were put in

place to forestall any unfortunate incidents but some visitors do not regard such warning signs. Do you wonder why a magnificent highly rated hotel came to a grinding halt? Well, it’s quite a mess. According to the story making the rounds, the owner of the Berengaria Hotel had three sons who inherited the property from their father. However, greed, and jealousy led to financial issues which tore them apart and it subsequently affected the business. None of the sons made good effort to ensure maintenance and proper management, so the hotel gradually went downhill. It’s not certain if the Berengaria hotel will rise again from its troubled past, but the locals in Prodromos village really miss the music from the dancing hall and other activities that made it a prestigious hotel in Cyprus. So, Berengaria Hotel is regarded as a tourist attraction by many due to its rich and conflicting history, and people desire to walk in the same halls and climb up the stairs where eminent royalties once stood.

x If you plan to visit

the hotel, stick to the precautionary signs because some parts of the building are not safe to walk through particularly at night. You may get the services of a tour guide who is familiar with the building to assist you or better still don’t wander there alone without company. • 2018 EDITION

HOW

to be always young and beautiful Every woman wants to look stunning and appealing no matter what her age is, so we decided to share with you some tips and tricks that might help you to always look perfect. Let’s take it step by step.

FACIAL CARE. Nourishing cream is a must-have product for the prevention of wrinkles, acne, and leaves your face feeling soft and glowing. For your face to get the maximum amount of nourishment and vitamins, put a layer of your favorite cream on your face, and cover it with a peel-off mask before going to bed, take it off in the morning. If you want to look younger, make a fringe, it’ll take 5 years off your age. HAIR CARE. If you have some grey hair and want to dye it, use a colour whose tone is a shade lighter than your hair to make it look more natural. Keratin therapy is also an effective way to make your hair look full of energy and shiny. Shaggy undone bob, pixie cut, ampedup layers, romantic waves, mid-length hair with flipped ends will make you look young and stylish. HANDS CARE. By all means, the hands are the first to give away your age. If the skin is well nourished, there is a light nail polish and you have bright accessories on the fingers and wrists, your hands will definitely look younger. Use a sunscreen cream in summer. It will protect your hands from premature ageing.

CLOTHES. For a more youthful look, avoid the trap of wearing teenage clothes, but rather go for outfits that compliment and accentuate your shape/figure. This type of clothes will help you hide excessive kilos and will highlight your femininity. Mind that the black colour will make your skin look yellow and will make all your wrinkles visible. A white light scarf, on the contrary, will make your face look fresher and younger. Sole-colored clothes and monochrome combinations will make your figure look slimmer. Try not to overuse the elements with complicated prints and bright multiple colours as they will destroy your proportions and make you seem bigger. Shoes are an indispensable part of your look. Choose the most comfortable shoes for your feet and foot profile and make everybody admire your legs on reasonably high heels.

MAKE-UP. There is no doubt, that make-up is the magic touch that conceals age. Use a liquid tone base to reach a perfect colour of your skin. The corrector and the sculptor will help you highlight the advantages and hide the drawbacks of your face. Wide-open eyes make any woman look younger. You can reach this effect by putting the shades with light-reflecting particles of the tone of your skin under the brows. Remember that very thin brows will make you look older. It goes without saying that only a happy woman with the smile on her face and the shining eyes will look beautiful and young. Enjoy your life and you will always be stunning! • 2018 EDITION

In the 3rd century, the town was devastated by an earthquake. Nowadays, you can see a famous mosaic with Achilles in it, an ancient theatre, Eustoliy villa and the base of one of the most ancient churches of Cyprus.

The discovery of

Gas in Cyprus The discovery of natural gas in Cyprus came as a surprise to many, especially after suffering years of financial gloom. However, the tables have turned, and the Island has become one of the energy players in the Eastern Mediterranean. A lot of speculations regarding the volume of the gas found have spiked the interest of international energy companies. Several global energy conglomerates have already won drilling licenses to legally operate in Cyprus.

ATURAL GAS was discovered in Cyprus in 2011 by Noble Energy in the Aphrodite Field offshore of Cyprus. The reserve was estimated for about 5–8 trillion cubic feet of the natural gas, which has positively changed the economic fate of the country. In August 2015 Eni, an Italian owned energy conglomerate, found gas in the large Zohr field. As a result, the Government has taken serious measures to ensure that the potential of the natural gas resources is fully utilized. The Cypriot Government intends to award even more drilling licenses to global energy companies with the technical expertise that will explore the region in search of new mine fields. Nowadays, such outstanding international companies as Shell, Exxon Mobile, BP, ENI, and Total have already started the works. Thus, the

Mediterranean sea becomes a potentially big and important gas producing region. Cyprus, Israel and Greece are already planning to build a pipe system that will enable them to transport gas to Europe. THE ECONOMIC FATE OF CYPRUS NATURAL GAS Nowadays, Cyprus mainly depends on the imported oil in electricity production. According to the estimations of Energy Intelligence and German Marshall Fund one billion of cube meters of gas per year would be enough to cover Cyprus' needs, in such a way that the excess gas produced by the Island can be exported not only to Egypt but also in Europe. In such a way, by 2025 Cyprus, Israel, and Greece plan to build a pipe line from the fields of gas to Greece and Italy, which will have a positive influence on the economy of the Island. According to the estimations, the price of the project can reach 6 milliard Euro. It is of high importance for Cyprus to start monetizing the gas resources as soon as possible as it has a direct impact on the economy of the island which is still suffering. Limited import of Russian gas to Europe plays a favorable game for the Island and, as a result, Cyprus has received a strong support from Brussels and Washington in the development of mineral resources and building the infrastructure for gas transportation. Europe sees Cyprus as a new gas hub that will decrease the reliance on Russia and will reinforce energy security of the Mediterranean region. • 2018 EDITION

DIVE DEEP

into the secrets of the most beautiful sea in the world The Mediterranean Sea is the birthplace of many great civilizations. It is a hub connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

HE HISTORY of the Sea dates back to the 4th century B.C. when the Mesopotamian civilization appeared on its eastern shores. According to the research, two thousand years later there were the first signs of the Mycenaean civilization which is considered to be one of the earliest stages of development of the Ancient Greece. The biggest fame came to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea at the time of the Roman Empire when it controlled almost the whole Mediterranean basin. At that time, the mail trade ways of the Italian merchants went through this sea. The Venetian merchants, who were the richest in Europe, had all the rights to call themselves owners of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea is one of the biggest on the Planet and its size is about 2 500 000 km2. It washes the shores of twenty-two countries and can boast of about 550 types of fish, including 70 endemics. The Mediterranean waters are home to important commercial fishes such as tuna, mullet, mackerel, herring, etc. You may also find shellfish such as mussels, oysters and peapod shell (a specialty of this sea). The sea is also rich in such cephalopods as octopus, calamari and crustaceous of all types and sizes. Not very rich in phyto and zooplankton, the sea doesn’t really boast many big fishes. There is only one seal specie in the sea, but there are many dolphins, whales, cetaceans and turtles. The resorts of the Mediterranean are second to none. If you want to have a true luxury experience together with the celebrities, go to the French Cote d’Azure, Riviera or Italian Sardinia, or if you prefer a more economical but not less beautiful relaxation, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and Egypt are the perfect spots for you.

Cyprus beaches all have the Blue flag and are considered to be the best place for any type of recreation. Families with children as well as young and older people will definitely find something interesting for themselves. Here is the overview of the best beaches of the island. GOLDEN COAST BEACH is covered with soft and fine golden sand. The sea bottom is rather shallow with a flat entrance into the sea which will be perfect for the families with children or those who are not very good at swimming. The beach also has the lounges for the most comfortable rest. THE PANTAHOU BEACH is more suitable for those who like noisy and active recreation. 1.5 km long beach is a perfect balance of an active fun and, at the same time, relaxation. THE CORAL BAY BEACH is considered to be the best beach of Paphos. It is the most visited beach of the western coast as well. This is a beloved place for the families with children. You can have a rest on a coral send of the beach, rent a water bike, enjoy other kinds of water entertainment or chill out in one of the cozy cafes. The beach is logistically very comfortable as you can arrive there even by public transport.

Choose the most attractive place for you and enjoy your time on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. • 2018 EDITION

Limassol continues to be its administrative base.

MEGA PROJECTS

that are changing the landscape of Cyprus Cyprus is one of the fastest growing economies in Europe and in the world, if any proof was needed, recovering from a crippling nationwide financial crisis in just three years should be enough.

ITH A GDP growth of 3.9%, nominal GDP per capital peaking near €25,000, and a declining unemployment rate (11% in 2017), a country ranked 23rd in the world in the quality-of-life index, should probably be patting itself on the back, resting on its laurels and enjoying its status, but not the island of Cyprus. This ambitious Mediterranean island has no plans of slowing down, always looking for ways to improve on a land that is blessed by nature and honored throughout time with a rich history that continues to serve the island even today. Though the island ranks 29th in the world in the tourism sector, it is however ranked 1st in terms

of tourism infrastructure, despite tourism not being the major export or market of the island. Tourism is, however, carving out a very important place in the country’s image and economy due to the number of opportunities it brings to the country in terms of foreign investment. Every district and nearly every municipality in Cyprus boasts of a hotel, resort, or historic relic or ground, that will easily make its way to atleast the top 50 of any list that measures beauty or “must visit”. The municipalities and resort cities of Ayia Napa, Protaras, and Paralimni are no different, and with new marina projects for the neighbouring municipalities, the towns, as well as the island, are sure to get a big boost and a brand new avenue for more investment and growth.

AYIA NAPA MARINA This mega project got the green light in 2017 and has not looked back since then, with developers promising to deliver the first portion of the project by 2019. Over a kilometre of shoreline between the Makronissos beach and Ayia Thekla has been carved out for the project, with the engineers using state of the art technology to replace part of the sea with land. The project will cost over €200 million and will hold about 360berths, 240 dry docks and enough commercial and rentable space for investors. The landscape of the island is basically being changed by this mammoth project that promises nothing but profit and growth.

PROTARAS MARINA In January 2017, the town of Protaras welcomed the news and signing of their own marina project, with the constructions targeted to take a maximum of three years. The marina will be surrounded by houses, hotels, touristic infrastructure and commercial space while holding at least 300 vessels. The importance of the marinas for both towns will be considerable, both socially and economically, boosting the image and lux of the towns, while raking in investors and new markets, and for towns which have already established themselves as top destinations for tourists, these marquee projects will be the icing on their cake.

Coffee in Cyprus is an intricate part of the island’s culture, and this makes it a unique experience when compared to other parts of Europe. Made from freshly ground Brazillian coffee beans grown on the island, the brew is strong and heady, boiled to form a frothy cream known as “kaimaki” on the top. Most locals drink it in tiny demitasse cups with dissolved sugar (“glikis”) or medium sweet (“metrios”); a brave few drink it unsweetened (“sketos”).

If you are a fan of chicken, then be sure to try out Avgolemono, a classic soup with tender chicken, orzo (rice) pasta and a delicious bright lemon flavour.

JANUARY 1ST — NEW YEAR’S DAY: In Cyprus, the bearer of gifts is Ayios Vasilis, and comes on New Year’s Eve, instead of Christmas Eve.

JANUARY 6TH EPIPHANY: A holiday that is also celebrated globally, Epiphany is the honouring of two events in the life of the Saviour Jesus Christ; the visit of the three wise men, and the baptism of Jesus Christ by St. John the Baptist. It is marked by a special mass in all the cathedrals of Cypriot towns, followed by a procession by the sea to mark the baptism, where a Bishop will throw a Holy Cross into the waters, and the young men of the gathering will dive in to retrieve it. Locations: Limassol: Agia Napa Church — Limassol, the old port.

February 2019 FEBRUARY 14TH VALENTINE’S DAY: A celebration that transcends culture and religion, Valentine’s Day has become synonymous with love but really did start out as a day to recognize the honourable acts of Saint Valentine of Rome who secretly wed soldiers who were banned from getting married, until he was martyred for the act. In the 14th century, Geoffrey Chaucer associated the day with love and from then on the day became more popular as a day to celebrate lovers and the island of Cyprus is no different. Experience a deeper and more passionate day with the special packages resorts, hotels, and restaurants always have in store for the truly romantic.

The clash will ultimately lead to Cypriot independence in 1960. APRIL 26TH — APRIL 29TH — PASCHA/EASTER: Easter is a time of great festivity in Cyprus and is celebrated in a very traditional fashion that makes it all the more memorable. The 40-day lent period is followed by Good Friday on the 26th of April.

Around Paphos:

THE VILLAGES The island of Cyprus is divided into five districts, with each of them having a cluster of villages and communities around the main cities. We run down some of the villages around Paphos.

AGIA VARVARA The community of Agia Varvara Paphos is located just right of the Ezousa river and stands at 95m above sea level. Findings suggest that the village was inhabited around the Middle Bronze Age. Within the village, are numerous stone mills, an old mansion, and two churches dedicated to Agia Varvara.

VILLAGE KOUKLIA is a fascinating village and significant for archeologists seeking new sites to dig.

ARGAKA Standing some 90 metres above sea level in the Chrysochous valley, the community of Argaka is split into Kato Argaka which hinges on the road between Polis and Nicosia, and Pano Argaka which is more retracted and is the more traditional of the two. The Chapels of Agia Varvara and St. George, stand within the community, as well as the churches of the apostles Peter and Paul. KOUKLIA One of the most popular villages in Paphos, Kuoklia is built on the ruins of another village, one which was the hu of the ancient Paphos kingdom, PaloPaphos. Some of the greatest discovery from the Middle, Bronze and Iron ages and the Byzantines period, have been made in Kouklia. The village has a snake park and is the location of the Agios Nikolaos church, the Panagia Faneromeni church and an Archaeological Museum. DROUSHIA Located at the highest point of the Laona valley, Droushia is a true Cyprus village, retaining the stone buildings that characterise Cypriot architecture of old, and has a breathtaking view of the Troodos Mountains. The monastery of Agios Georgios Nikoxilitisis located in the community, alongside the Agios Epifanos which stands in the middle of the village. AMARGETI The site of the discovery of many artefacts pointing to the 3rd-century Hellenistic period, and 4th-century Roman period, makes Amargeti a very interesting village. The village also has a heroes monument which honours fallen sons such as Athanasius George, Socrates, Eyaggegyol.

With one of the most breathtaking viewpoints, you’ll ever have the pleasure of looking out from, Cape Greko is the premier national park in Cyprus.

aken from the Italian name for ‘Greek’, Cape Greko is a national park under the protection and control of the Ministry of Interior and is a non-stop verdant haven with jaw-dropping scenery, incredible trails, mind blowing clear turquoise waters that go as far as Famagusta Bay, and a larger than life broadcasting station, among other wonderful attractions. Stretching out from the south side of Famagusta into the municipality of Ayia Napa, the park rests in between the resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras, and is surrounded by an abundance of verdant and splendid natural features such as sea caves, a beach, and other spectacular sites. There are seven key landmarks in the park that steal your awe from the beautiful verdant nature; CYCLOPS CAVE; the closest point of the park to the district of Famagusta, the cave is 1.5km from Konnos beach, and is said to be the cave in which Odysseus and his men were trapped in, and had to face the gigantic cyclops. A smooth enjoyable walk from Konnos beach to the cave will be worth it. KONNOS BEACH; this secluded beach is not only quiet and romantic, it has the picturesque view, with its beautiful golden sand, and clear waters. For a quiet time with a loved ones or family, this is the spot.

There is also the Open Air Traditional Folk Art Museum which showcases traditional professions such as tailoring, blacksmithing, and fishing. You can also visit the Cultural Centre of Occupied Ammochostos (Famagusta), which was created to hold presentations in response to the “Cyprus Dispute” following the Turkish invasions of 1974. From here, you can see the occupied city of Ammochostos. There is also a small photo exhibit and a handicraft market. PARALIMNI This small township became the administrative centre of the district following the Turkish occupation of Ammochostos. It is located 7 km from Ayia Napa and is built on the shores of a shallow lake. At its centre stands a large modern two-aisled 13th-century church dedicated to the Virgin Mary alongside an older stone church. The bustling village has many restaurants, cafes, bakeries and bars. The surrounding countryside has rich red soil and is known for growing potatoes. You will also notice hundreds of windmills dotting the hills; these were initially used to draw water but have mostly been replaced by modern pumps. Check out the Folkloric Museum which gives visitors a glimpse of the traditions, art and everyday tools of historic rural life. If you travel to the east toward the sea, you can relax at Trinity or Kapparis Beach. SOTIRA Sotira is located 12 km west of Ayia Napa and has a population of just over 5,500.

LIOPETRI Liopetri is located 15 km west of Ayia Napa. Like the other Kokkinochoria, it benefits from the rich red soil to produce its main crop — potato. Liopetri is also known for its pomegranate and fig production and its basket weaving tradition.

/ древняя история /

Мифы и легенды о древнем Кипре Кипр — большой остров, который находится в восточной части Средиземного моря, определяющего контуры Европы. С запада к нему примыкает акватория Греции, с востока — Ливан; к югу от него находится Египет, а к северо-востоку — Малая Азия.

ТОТ стратегически важный в военном отношении клочок суши поочередно завоевывали ассирийцы, персы, египтяне. В более поздний период к нему проявляли интерес крестоносцы и купцы Венецианской республики. Впервые остров с богатыми залежами меди был заселен людьми около 9000 лет назад. По мнению историков, на остров около 3900 г. до н. э. мигрировала небольшая группа выходцев из Палестины. Древние греки, жившие в эпоху Микенской цивилизации, сочли возможным поселиться здесь только в XII веке до н. э. — так давала о себе знать бесконечная череда восстаний и войн в этом расположенном от них на восток регионе. Местные жители в скором времени ассимилировались среди эллинов, а их культура, язык и религия стали общим достоянием Греции античного периода. Ахейские переселенцы из Аргоса основали город Курион, который находился неподалеку от современного Лимассола. Позднее на острове появились новые захватчики — египтяне и персы. Впоследствии греки сумели вернуть Кипр, важнейший плацдарм Средиземноморья. На острове насчитывалось 10 полисов — городов-государств. И каждое из нашествий завоевателей оставляло неизгладимый след в характере и культурном наследии киприотов. Обнаруженные археологами на месте раскопок остатки обожженных костей, неопровержимо доказывают, что до прихода сюда людей Древний Кипр населяли карликовые формы гиппопотамов и слонов. Первые жители находили себе природные жилища — пещеры. Их уже можно было считать земледельческой общиной. Первыми одомашненными животными были коровы, свиньи овцы, собаки, козы и даже такие считающиеся до сих пор дикими животные, как олени и лисы. Обнаруженные в пещере на полуострове Акротири орудия труда — наиболее древнее доказательство присутствия людей на Кипре в отдаленную от нас эпоху. ЭПОХА РАСЦВЕТА И ЗАКАТА ВЕЛИЧАЙШИХ ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИЙ НА КИПРЕ Первая миграционная волна принесла с собой умение строить дома характерной круглой формы. Эпоха неолита ознаменовала переход к совершенно другому типу возведения жилищ — c выпрямленными стенками — и изготовлению каменных сосудов. В жизненном укладе стал доминировать

Средняя продолжительность жизни была невысокой — в среднем 34 года — при высоких показателях детской смертности. патриархат, а в натуральном хозяйстве — животноводство с использованием усовершенствованием каменных орудий труда. Во время проведения раскопок часто обнаруживают их огромное количество. Археологи также выявили древние колодцы. Особенно много их находится в западной части страны. Они считаются одними из старейших в мире. Землетрясение в 3800-м году до н. э. разрушило неолитическую культуру. Развитие возобновилось только в эпоху энеолита и с появлением технологий обработки металлов. В этот заключительный период каменного века сосуществовали как медные, так и каменные орудия труда. Верхние хронологические рамки Бронзового века на Кипре приходятся примерно на 2400 гг. до н. э., когда на острове появились переселенцы из Анатолии, что привело к внедрению ряда технологических усовершенствований и развитию натурального хозяйства. Средний период характеризуется длительностью мирного сосуществования и поступательностью развития. В поздний бронзовый век была изобретена кипро-минойская слоговая азбука — один из древнейших видов письменности. • 2018 EDITION

/ достопримечательности /

Загадка отеля Berengaria Отель Berengaria уютно раскинулся на склонах гор Троодос. Отсюда открывается прекрасный вид на великолепные пейзажи, окружающие кипрскую деревушку Продромос. Увы, теперь он лишь может красоваться в тени былой славы. Вам расскажут, почему отель был брошен на произвол судьбы. Несмотря на это, он по-прежнему достоин внимания туристов и считается самой что ни на есть загадочной достопримечательностью этой части острова, учитывая удивительные и захватывающие дух истории, связанные с этим таинственным зданием.

ТЕЛЬ был построен много лет тому назад, в 1931 году. Здесь останавливались известные личности и титулованные лица: члены королевских семей и другие представители высшего сословия. Им предоставляли более чем отменный сервис, достойный тех, кого по праву называют сливками общества. Тем не менее, отель был закрыт в 1984 году после 53 лет непрерывной работы. Хотя отель и выдержал испытание временем, поддерживая на протяжении более пяти десятилетий свое реноме настоящего королевского дворца, в котором глаза разбегаются от роскоши, его нынешнее состояние — жалкое и удручающее зрелище, поскольку этот некогда великолепнейший архитектурный шедевр ныне полностью заброшен, а горные ветры и другие природные факторы стремятся сравнять его с землей. Отель Berengaria — пусть и туристическая достопримечательность, но довольно опасная, особенно для тех, кто плохо знаком с рельефом местности. Местные жители довольно любознательны: они хотят побольше узнать об этом загадочном, манящем к себе месте, где отдыхали столь достопочтенные люди, и увидеть все своими глазами. Туристы тоже не прочь взглянуть на это здание и попытаться разгадать его загадку. Считается, что в отеле живут привидения, связанные кровными узами. Немало рассказов о местных привидениях заканчивается тем, что в стенах отеля обнаруживают случайно забредших путников, которые умерли при загадочных обстоятельствах, а потом уже их души, скрываясь среди руин на территории комплекса, начинают досаждать живым и пытаются удовлетворить жажду мести. ИНТЕРЕСНЫЕ ФАКТЫ ОБ ОТЕЛЕ BERENGARIA Отель назвали в честь королевы Беренгарии Наваррской, жены английского короля Ричарда I. Красивое название, занимательная история, взятая из седой глубины Средних веков — это место было обречено привлекать людей из различных слоев общества. Нынешний владелец отеля Михалис Иоаннидес обеспокоен вопросами безопасности этого места для туристов, особенно для детей, учитывая, по его словам, аварийное состояние некоторых участков здания. Для предотвращения несчастных случаев были предприняты профилактические меры, но некоторые посетители не относятся

с должной серьезностью к предупреждающим знакам. Вам интересно узнать, почему грандиозный отель, в который вложили столько денег, пришел в упадок? О, это запутанная история, которая попрежнему ждет разгадки. По слухам, которыми так любят делиться местные жители, владелец отеля Berengaria имел трех сыновей, которые и унаследовали его имущество. Однако жадность и зависть отпрысков привели к финансовым проблемам, которые сделали их непримиримыми врагами и привели к дроблению бизнеса, отчего состояние дел только ухудшилось. Ни один из сыновей не попытался по-настоящему разобраться с финансовыми проблемами и вывести управление гостиницей на должный уровень. Именно поэтому дела отеля и пошли неуклонно вниз. Неизвестно, реконструируют ли в будущем отель Berengaria, оставив в прошлом все проблемы и годы забвения, но жители Продромоса искренне скучают как по доносившейся из танцевального зала музыке, так и другим развлечениям на территории этого престижнейшего кипрского отеля.

x Как видим, многие считают отель Berengaria достопримечательностью из-за его богатой и неоднозначной истории: люди хотят пройтись по в тем же залам и подняться по тем же лестницам, по которым когда-то ходили особы королевской крови. Если вы планируете посетить отель, придерживайтесь указаний на предупреждающих знаках, так как некоторые участки небезопасны для посещения, особенно ночью. Вы можете воспользоваться услугами гида, который хорошо знает здание, чтобы в случае чего помочь Вам или, что еще лучше, составит компанию, чтобы Вы не блуждали в одиночестве.

/ места паломничества / МОНАСТЫРЬ МАХЕРА Монастырь Махера, посвященный Деве Марии, расположен в 40 км от Никосии, столицы Кипра. Монастырское здание венчают изумительные по красоте купол и черепичная крыша. Внутреннее убранство украшено канделябрами, настенными фресками и иконостасом, центральное место в котором занимает икона Девы Марии.

Церкви и монастыри в Лимассоле и Никосии Республика Кипр может гордиться разнообразием и количеством религиозных памятников — церквей и монастырей в Лимассоле и столице страны — Никосии. Киприоты — православные христиане. С молоком матери они впитывают благоговение перед святыми местами и церквями. Вам поведают о церквях и монастырях вокруг этих двух городов, а также расскажут о чудесах, свидетелями которых они стали за долгие столетия своего существования.

ЕМАЛОЕ количество преимущественно православных церквей на Кипре, воздвигнутых в честь Девы Марии или определенного святого. Православной церковью признается семь следующих таинств: Крещение, Евхаристия, Миропомазание, Покаяние, Венчание, Соборование и Рукоположение. Считается, что произошедшие в церквях чудеса — результат приверженности парафиян догматам веры и искренность их веры, а также праведности священников.

МОНАСТЫРЬ СВЯТОГО ГЕОРГИЯ АЛАМАНУ Монастырь был построен много столетий тому назад в византийском стиле. В настоящее время это женский православный монастырь. Он находится между деревнями Пентакомо и Монагрули в районе Лимассола. Монастырь Святого Георгия Аламану назван так в честь одного из самых известных почитаемых святых на Кипре.

/ места паломничества / ЦЕРКОВЬ СВЯТОГО ИОАННА В НИКОСИИ Церковь святого Иоанна — одна из старейших в Никосии. Ранее комплекс функционировал в качестве монастыря, но в XVIII веке был превращен в церковь.

Кафедральный собор святого Иоанна, Никосия

КАФЕДРАЛЬНЫЙ СОБОР СВЯТОГО ИОАННА, НИКОСИЯ Воистину, от архитектурных изысков кафедрального собора святого Иоанна захватывает дух. Ранее это был православный монастырь. Только в XVIII веке он стал кафедральным собором. Его внешние очертания впечатляют меньше, чем внутреннее убранство, которое было нарочно спроектировано так, чтобы оставить неизгладимое впечатление на вошедшего. РУССКАЯ ПРАВОСЛАВНАЯ ЦЕРКОВЬ, ЛИМАССОЛ Русская православная церковь святого Николая является основной, соборной, для русскоязычной общины острова. Конструкция храмового комплекса предусматривает огромное внутреннее помещение, гостевой дом для путников и колокольню, чтобы предупредить прихожан о начале службы.

Русская православная церковь, Лимассол

КАФЕДРАЛЬНЫЙ СОБОР СВЯТОГО ПАВЛА, НИКОСИЯ Кафедральный собор расположен в центральной части Никосии — с толицы Кипра, привлекая внимание туристов из многих уголков мира, людей различных цивилизаций и культур. Англиканская церковь отличается веротерпимостью и радостно приветствует новых жителей Никосии, независимо от их прежнего вероисповедания. ЦЕРКОВЬ ПАНАГИИ В ФАНЕРОМЕНЕ, НИКОСИЯ Эта посвященная Богородице церковь была построена в 1792 году с использованием эклектики византийского и средневекового латинского стилей. Она находится на площади Фанеромени, на которую выходят несколько зданий в стиле неоклассицизма: среди них мраморный мавзолей и библиотека Фанеромени. Это наибольший в столице храмовый комплекс. Церкви известны чудеса исцеления и божественного провидения, что только укрепляет преданность парафиян, особенно веру в заступничество Девы Марии и святых церкви. Настоящее чудо приписывается Святой Марине, которая представившись т. н. гостевым врачом, получила разрешение участвовать в операции, спасшей жизнь маленького мальчика-киприота по имени Андреа Вассилиу. Находящийся на Кипре череп Иоанна Златоуста также чудесным образом исцелил двух прихожан: частично парализованного 16-летнего мальчика и женщина с переломом позвоночника вследствие автокатастрофы. Учитывая все вышеперечисленное, неудивительно, что киприоты настолько искренне поклоняются своим религиозным святыням, верят в церковные постулаты и особо почитают Деву Марию и местных святых. • 2018 EDITION

КАЛЕЙДОСКОП ВОЛШЕБНЫХ МЕСТ Путешествие по окрестностям Лимассола — это, прежде всего, погружение в историю. Вы сможете полюбоваться обворожительными пейзажами окраин столицы острова. От них невозможно оторвать свой взгляд! Не менее приятной станет возможность соприкоснуться с культурой Кипра. Совсем необязательно обращаться в специальное турбюро для организации экскурсии. Просто возьмите машину напрокат и наслаждайтесь красотами Кипра! АМАТУС. Руины античного города находятся в 11 км от центральной части Лимассола. Это один из наиболее древних городов-полисов на острове. Частично его поглотило море. Но оставшаяся часть заслуживает посещения. Множество преданий и славных в прошлом имен связано с этим местом. Например, как гласит одна из легенд, дочь критского царя Миноса Ариадна помогла Тесею убить Минотавра. Впоследствии они бежали на Кипр и поженились в Аматусе. Именно здесь она, умерев во время родов, и была похоронена в роще, которую местные называют не иначе как Лес Ариадны. Это произошло в IX в. до н. э. В римскую эпоху Аматус стал столицей Кипра. Впоследствии вторжение арабов подорвало благополучие города: они не оставили здесь камня на камне. Посетив этот удивительный город, Вы сможете прогуляться по античным улочкам и площадям, а также увидеть сокровища дворца. В городе сохранилось несколько зданий Эллинистического периода. Их видно с вершины горы. Здесь также доступны для посещения два Акрополя с синхронными по времени захоронениями. КУРИОН — один из наиболее могущественных полисов в I в. до н. э., находится на пути из Лимассола в Пафос. Он был основан ахейцами. Они даже возвели здесь храм Аполлону, построили мраморные фонтаны и установили непревзойденные по красоте и реалистичности изображения статуи. Шедеврами искусства и архитектуры той эпохи восхищались посещавшие город купцы, о чем сохранилось немало исторических свидетельств. В III в. город до основания был разрушен землетрясением. В наши дни здесь можно увидеть чудом сохранившиеся мозаику с изображением Ахиллеса, античный театр, дом Евстолия и фундамент одной из самых древнейших церквей Кипра. СОТИРА. Не упустите возможность побывать в самой настоящей кипрской таверне под названием «Моузикос». Обязательно отведайте там местного вина с чудесным букетом и бархатистым послевкусием, а также перекусите местными деликатесами. Лучше заранее заказывать столик, так как место довольно популярно и никогда не простаивает. Заведению больше 80 лет. Его владельцы будут рады рассказать Вам фамильные предания о становлении их кулинарной династии.

Не упустите возможность посетить такие известные в православном мире монастыри, как Киккос, Троодитисса, монастырь Честного Креста Господня и т. д.

МУТУЛЛА прославилась на весь мир культовым сооружением, имеющим статус объекта всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО — церковью Всесвятой Богородицы. Вы сможете увидеть собственными глазами настенные росписи XIII в. В деревне до сих пор придерживаются интересной традиции изготавливать деревянные формы для выпечки хлеба.

АГРОС расположен в восточной части Троодоса. Здесь производится душистая розовая вода. Микрорегион известен также своими ликерами и бренди, настоянными на лепестках роз. Это райское местечко для мясоедов: именно в Агросе можно купить лучшие луканицу, химерон, лонзу и другие разновидности копченого мяса.

ПЛАТРЕС. Деревушка раскинулась на южном склоне горы Олимпос. Это отправная точка всех пеших маршрутов к живописным водопадам Троодоса. Вы можете посетить форелевое хозяйство и шоколадную фабрику либо пройтись до находящегося неподалеку монастыря Троодитисса и увидеть чудотворную икону Богородицы, которая, согласно легенде, была написана самим евангелистом Лукой.

ЛЕФКАРА, вероятно, известна куда большему числу туристов по сравнению с остальными населенными пунктами Троодоса. Тысячи и тысячи их приходят сюда, чтобы полюбоваться изделиями мастеров народных ремесел: изысканными серебряными украшениями и кружевами. Уютные улочки деревни, 18 церквей, различные кафе и рестораны никого не оставят равнодушными. • 2018 EDITION

ПОГРУЗИТЕСЬ

в манящую своими секретами морскую пучину Средиземноморье — колыбель великих цивилизаций. Это связующее звено между Европой, Африкой и Ближним Востоком.

СТОРИЯ региона берет свое начало с появлением Месопотамской цивилизации, прослеживаясь с IV века до н. э. Согласно полученным историческим свидетельствам, два тысячелетия спустя зародилась Минойская цивилизация, один из ранних этапов великой Эллады античных времен. Во времена расцвета Римской империи, контролировавшей большую часть акватории моря, к региону было приковано внимание всех государств Старого Света. Он стал эпицентром всех великих событий, предшествовавших христианской эпохе. В те времена основным торговым маршрутом для купцов из Италии был именно средиземноморский морской. Венецианцы, самые богатые предприниматели в Европе, по праву считались чуть ли не собственниками Средиземного моря. Средиземное море — одно из наибольших на нашей планете. Площадь его акватории составляет 2 500 000 км2. Берега двадцати двух стран омываются его водами. Ихтиофауна насчитывает 550 видов рыб, 70 из них — эндемики. Это родной дом для таких ценных промысловых видов рыб, как тунец, кефаль, макрель, сельдь и т. д. Здесь также водятся мидии, устрицы и другие моллюски. Только здесь можно найти морского финика. Воды Средиземного моря изобилуют головоногими — осьминогами, кальмарами — а также ракообразными всех форм и размеров. Поскольку фито- и зоопланктона не очень много, в море не водятся огромные по размерам рыбы. Впрочем, здесь можно встретить дельфинов, китов, кашалотов и черепах. Курорты Средиземного моря восхитительны. Если Вы хотите роскошно отдохнуть по соседству с мировыми звездами, отправляйтесь на Лазурный Берег во Франции, Ривьеру или принадлежащий Италии остров Сардиния. Если предпочтителен более бюджетный, но не менее великолепный отдых, Кипр, Греция и Турция со всем восточносредиземноморским радушием ждут Вас к себе в гости.

Все пляжи Кипра отмечены международной наградой «голубой флаг». Считается, что они идеально подходят для любого типа отдыха. Семьи с детьми, пожилые пары и молодежь — обязательно найдут для себя что-нибудь интересное. ПЛЯЖ «ЗОЛОТОЙ БЕРЕГ» устлан мелким, мягким, золотистого цвета песком. Море достаточно мелководное, с пологим спуском к линии прибоя. Это идеальные условия для семей с детьми и тех, кто не очень хорошо плавает. К пляжу примыкают комфортабельные лаунж-зоны, чтобы сделать Ваш отдых незабываемым! ПЛЯЖ «ПАНТАХУ» наиболее всего подойдет тем, кто любит активный и слегка шумный отдых. Это 1,5 км длиной песчаной линии, на всем протяжении которой можно встретить идеальное сочетание подвижного веселья и релаксации. ПЛЯЖ «КОРАЛОВЫЙ ЗАЛИВ» считается лучшим в Пафосе. Это наиболее посещаемый пляж западной части острова. Его обожают семейные пары с детьми. Вы можете как нежиться на песке кораллового оттенка, так и взять напрокат водный мотоцикл или выбрать другие развлечения по своему усмотрению. Уютные кафе манят своей прохладой. С точки зрения логистики пляж очень удобен, поскольку до него можно добраться даже на общественном транспорте.

Выберите то место, которое Вам больше всего понравилось, и проведите там время! Побережье Средиземного моря просто-таки создано для райского наслаждения! • 2018 EDITION
