MYTHS OF CYPRUS; Aphrodite and Adonis Love is also meant for the gods The island of Cyprus is the setting of some of the most exciting and stimulating stories from mythology and folklore, none more so than Greek mythology. Of all the stories that have been, fewer have caught general attention than the amorous story of the goddess of love Aphrodite, and her lover Adonis, the god of beauty.
H
ISTORY records that only people to have proceeded the Paphians, who were originally influenced by the Mesopotamian worship of the goddess Ishtar.
BUT We are here for the mythology version, it’s more fun and exciting, and it is set in Cyprus! Per Hesiod, the legend goes that Cronus, son of Uranus, the sky, and Gaia, the earth, who harbored plans of overthrowing his father, severed his father’s genitals and threw it into the sea. The genitals bubbled in a white foam from which an adult maiden emerged, while his blood turned into giants and furies. This was in Paphos, and the ground upon which the maiden was born, solidified and became the Petra Tou Romiou. From this point on, many different tales by different authors from history, give different accounts of the life of Aphrodite, but from Homer’s The Odyssey, we are told that Aphrodite became the wife of the god Hephaestus, but was unfaithful to him with the god of war, Ares. Hephaestus will come to know of her affair through Helios, the god of the sun, and will set a trap for the lovers. Poseidon, feeling considerate towards Ares, will pay for his release, while Aphrodite will be sent to Cyprus, spending most of her days with the charities, who were her maids, and Eros, the god of lust. ADONIS King Cinyras of Cyprus and his wife Metharme had a daughter Myrrha, who Metharme declared to be even more beautiful than Aphrodite herself.
6
In a fit of anger, Aphrodite cursed the princess to have an endless lust for her father, which will lead to her seeking out her father. In the dark of the night, Myrrha will lay with her father King Cinyras, for nine nights before being discovered and hunted by him. As punishment, the gods will transform the princess into a Myrrh tree, not knowing of her pregnancy. The tree princess will give birth to a son, who Aphrodite will hand over to Persephone, wife of Ares, to take care of. The boy would grow up to be a very handsome and irresistible young man, and Aphrodite will seek to take him back from Persephone who was already attached to the boy. The god, Zeus, will intervene, and declare that Adonis will have to choose who he wants to spend part of his year with, after spending a third with Persephone, and another with Aphrodite. Already in love with Aphrodite, the young god will choose to spend his free part of the year with his love, Aphrodite.
Love is a general phenomenon, even in the realm of the gods, and sometimes it still isn’t enough to keep people together, but it never ends. Today in Cyprus, there are a number of places and festivals that celebrate the goddess Aphrodite as the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility.
Their love would be deep and true, yet short-lived, as Ares would come back in jealousy, to haunt Aphrodite. Seeing that she had taken to another man, Ares would in the form of a wild boar come to earth and attack Adonis during a hunting trip. With his injuries proving fatal, Adonis will die in the arms of Aphrodite, who will mourn the young god, and declare a festival, the Adonia, to commemorate his passing.

CYPRUS; a rich past
EMPIRES AND THEIR CULTURAL INFLUENCE ON THE ISLAND
An island that has made of its wonderful history, the mother of its stunning present, we take a little look at how the island came to be. There are very few places in the word that can match the beauty and history of the island of Cyprus. This rich Mediterranean island has today become one of the most popular tourist destination, not just for the treasured relics of its past but also for the modern sights. THE BEGINNINGS The island of Cyprus is identified as the home and location of many Greek mythologies, such as the Mount Olympus found in the Troodos range, the Petra Tou Romiou stone, which is believed to be the birth place of the goddess Aphrodite, and even the epic of Pygmalion, which is set on the gorgeous island. Mount Olympus is believed to be the home of the Greek gods, led by the god of thunder, Zeus. Adonis, the god of beauty, was also born on the island, when Aphrodite cursed the beautiful princess Myrrha to seek out her father, King Cinyras, in lust. She was transformed into a tree, and bore Adonis as the fruit of her union with her father. King Cinyras is also a Cypriot legend, founder of the city of Paphos, and husband to Pygmalion’s daughter, Metharme. Research and findings have shown that cities Limassol and Amathus were some of the earliest inhabited areas of the island, but settlement started in the village of Khirokitia, as far back as the Neolithic period which is more than 5000 years before the biblical times. The Stone Age around 8000 BC will see farmers settle on the island, with cereal being the largest product from their farms. It’ll take the islanders close to 4000 years to figure out bronze and cooper, but eventually, they did, and by 1500BC, the island had become a civilized and cultured society.
8
The rise of empires will prove to be a turning point for the island. First will be the Assyrians, who collected tribute from the island, before the island was conquered by the Persians in 545 BC. In 333 BC, however, Alexander The Great will defeat the Persians and take Cyprus, which will lead to a strong Greek cultural influence and presence on the island. Not even after being conquered by Rome, will this change. It is under Roman and Byzantine rule that Christianity will come to Cyprus in 45 AD. In the 12th century, the Byzantines will declare the island independent as their affluence was steady falling, and Richard I of England will see this as an opportunity to not be missed, conquering the island before selling it to the French family, The Lusignan’s. The beauty of the island comes from the blend of all these cultures that had once inhabited or ruled the island, and some of their finest works can still be seen today all over the island, most of them becoming UNESCO Heritage sites in present day. The Lusignan’s will rule for three centuries, before eventually ceding the island to Venetian rule after the death of the king, but the island will be conquered by the Ottomans a few years later and then the British. ENOSIS AND THE PRESENT DAY The island of Cyprus, by the time of British administration was already divided into two; the Orthodox community, who identified themselves with the Greek, and the Catholic community who preferred Turkish and British rule. This will lead to enosis, the fight to join Greece, by the Orthodox community, and an eventual divide of the island to what we know it to be today. Cyprus is today a member of the European Union, and after years of economic crisis, is finding its feet again, and reaching new heights due to its booming tourism sector and development. The island’s rich history and the relics from that fairytale past, coupled with the wonders of its present day, have made Cyprus a must-go destination for tourists, business investors, and thrill-seekers. We invite you to come and see why, you’ll be blown away.

COFFEE
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 drinks it unsweetened (“sketos”). ALCOHOL
Traditional Brandy and Zivania are most popular on the island, followed by beer, Ouzo and Raki are also imbibed frequently. A real treat, however, will be to try out Cyprus’ finest, the legendary Commandaria wine, a sweet dessert wine that is the pride of Cyprus and the world’s oldest wine still in production.

VILLAGES OF CYPRUS
THE VILLAGES OF CYPRUS;
live the timeless serenity and charm of the Countryside
A tourist and business haven today, Cyprus was only a few years back drowning in an economic crisis. The island underwent a renaissance and is now one of Europe’s premiere destinations and budding economies, but it never forgot its roots, tradition, and true image.
The countryside, the villages. When the government decided to turn its focus to the countryside in 1996, helping the villages and their community recapture the beauty that once was, was the plan, but it has become so much more. The villages are not only resplendent, but there is a certain serenity, still, and soothing effect about the countryside, away from all the city commotion. The union of agro-tourism and the villages is a fruitful one, many more people are coming for the serenity, tranquility, and calm of the countryside, to see the monastery and commune with the country folk, to find calm and stillness. These are some of the standouts; KAKOPETRIA Down at the foot of the Troodos range, and found in Nicosia, Kakopetria is 55 kilometers from Limassol, and stands as the highest village in the Solea region at an altitude of 667 meters. The village has the Kargotis and Garillis rivers as its companions, which meet in the village square to form the Klarios river. The first real gem of the village is its breathtaking landscape, that looks like something out of the dream as the verdant community sinks seamlessly into the Kargotis valley and rises with the Troodos mountain. Its close distance to both Nicosia and Limassol, makes it one of the vacation favorites.
PANO LEFKARA With no more than 1000 inhabitants, Lefkara is forever part of Cypriot history as the home of Cypriot needle art. Renowned all over Europe for its craft and exquisite style, Lefkara is another village found just at the foot of the Troodos mountain, and was visited by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 16th century. A must-go summer destination, the village of Lefkara is one of the oldest in Cyprus.

/ villages / PEDOULAS Once a royal estate, under the Franks, Pedoulas came to being during the Byzantine rule, as one of the top cultural and commercial places of Cyprus. Found in the Marathasa valley, Pedouras is a village with breathtaking views, and hospitality that is so infectious. LOFOU Built on a hi between two mountains, Lofou village is found in the district of Limassol. The village is one of the oldest in Cyprus and changed hands regularly, as the rulers of the island came and went. From the Franks to the British, each people came with their own name and use for the village. On the last Sunday of September, every year, the village celebrates the Palouze festival amongst many others. PANAGIA Dotted and surrounded by an almost uncountable number of churches, all of which a dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the village of Panagia is home to the first president of Cyprus, Arch Bishop Makarios III, and home to the very rare and endangered Cypriot Mouflon. The vineyards of Panagia are considered one of the best on the island. The village is located in Paphos.
PLATRES Listed as one of the 119 villages that existed back in the 12th century, during the House of Lusignan rule. Many stories surround the village’s name, and it’s always fun seeing the villagers defend their chosen tale fervently. Found in the district of Limassol, Platres is very developed community and has benefitted enormously from the tourism sector, being the home of many restaurants, clubs, and hotels.

The Spin; a look around some of
CYPRUS’ CITIES Cyprus is a Mediterranean island and the third most populous island in the region. Renowned for its rich history and culture, the island country is also a budding tourist destination, which never fails to deliver on fun, and Kodak moments. There is never a dull moment in Cyprus, whether you find yourself in the buzzing city, or the serene countryside, there is always excitement and something refreshing just waiting to be taken on. While Limassol is the hub for all the activities and thrill, the other Cypriot cities pack entertainment as well. PAPHOS A European Capital of Culture from 2017, Paphos is one of the oldest cities in Cyprus, having been around since Neolithic times. That will be little misleading, however, because there are actually two cities of Paphos; the old city, which has been around since Neolithic times, known as Palaepaphos (Kouklia), and the new city, Nea paphos, founded by Niclocles, king of Palaepaphos (or Agapenor, per the Analecta). The city holds an important place in world, and Cypriot history, and is even mentioned in the Bible, the Trojan wars, and Greek mythology. Considered the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, and her lover, Adonis, the city is home to the Neapaphos Archaeological site, a breathtaking location that is still being excavated to date. It houses four large villas; the Houses of Orpheus, Dionysus, Aion, and Theseus, including the imposing Tomb of Kings, an agora, and the Basilica Panagia Limeniotissa, amongst others. AYIA NAPA & PROTARAS The city’s vision is to become Cyprus’ premiere resort city by 2030, and making good on that promise, Ayia Napa is already one of Cyprus’ top tourist destinations and has one of the largest budgets on the island. The city is already the biggest resort on the island, but plans on becoming a premier destination on not only the island, but Europe as a whole. Just south of the city of Famagusta, Ayia Napa is most of the time coupled with the city of Protaras, its closest neighbour. Protaras is very much like Ayia Napa, but while Ayia Napa is a resort, Protaras is more of the residential area of the majority of those who work in the hotels and other structures in Ayia Napa, but do not be fooled, Protaras is just as beautiful and attractive. Being more of a family vacation location, it is less crowded than Ayia Napa, but its beaches are amongst the best and cleanest on the island.

NICOSIA Capital of Cyprus since the 10th century, Nicosia is the largest city of the Mediterranean island, it is also one of the oldest, existing since 2500BC. More of a political and administrative hub than tourism, Nicosia still has a lot of history within its walls and some of the best cuisine in the Mediterranean, you’ll find in Nicosia. The city is also famous for Ledra Street, which is one of the busiest market places of the island, and one with a great history too. LIMASSOL Easily the most renowned city in Cyprus, Limassol is the touristic and business heartbeat of the island country. If you are coming here for a business trip, the temptations for a night out, a day out in the city, are very big temptations, and whatever the case may be, never forget your camera! The city, now a very cosmopolitan and bustling modern day metropolis, is custodian to a history so rich, it’ll feel like a myth, if the ancient ruins were not there as proof. The Limassol castle is one of the most imposing sites of the city, the location where Richard the Lionheart of England was crowned the Lord of Cyprus, while in Ottoman times, it served as a prison. The castle is still as impressive as ever, and that’s just a tip of the iceberg of what Limassol has to offer. LARNACA This port city on the south coast of the Mediterranean island is dwarfed only by Nicosia and Limassol in terms of size. It may not make as much buzz as Limassol, but Larnaca is one of Cyprus’ most landmark cities. Home the country’s primary airport, it stands on the ruins of Cithium, the ancient city that is birthplace to the famous Zeno. A vibrant and colorful city, Larnaca will mark you with the numerous festivals in arts that never seem to have an off day, and its delicious cuisine. In Larnaca, transport is done strictly by bus only, so be sure to bring your social mood. Every city in Cyprus is a perfect union between history, culture, and modern influence, and is what sets Cyprus apart from other destinations of the Mediterranean, and Europe. See you when you get here! • SUMMER 2019 EDITION

RELIVING CYPRUS
from the ruins; relics from a time past Welcome to Cyprus, the land of ancient myths, gods, and riches from a once-upon-a-time world.
O
NE of the blessings of the island is the survival of a large number of its ancient sites and grounds. Of course they were never going to stay intact after such a long time, but the ruins of some are such evidence of the authenticity of the island’s past, how solid architecture of the past was, and how favoured Cyprus is.
The relics hold so much history and beauty, that most of them have been covered as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Let’s take a run through some of those must-see places;
KOURION The place of gladiators, the House of Achilles, the temple of Apollo, the wonder by the sea, this is Kourion. Once an affluent province in Cyprus, dating back to Assyrian, Persian, and Roman rule, Kourion. The Acropolis which is believed to have been erected during Roman rule is one of the most breathtaking structures you’ll ever see.
TOMBS OF THE KINGS, PAPHOS Dating as far back as the 4th century, this necropolis which lies in Paphos, actually has no kings buried there. The tombs end their name from the sheer magnanimity and grandeur of the structure. A good number of the underground tombs are actually carved directly from the rocks, some being as big and styled as houses.

/ history and mystery / THE ZENOBIA WRECK The Swedish beauty that sank just off the port of Larnaca, this wreck is constantly registered as one of the top ten wreck diving locations in the world, drawing thrill seekers and divers from all over the world. This challenger-class ferry sank in 1980, taking all of its expensive cargo, but no life of its crew.
CHURCH OF AGIOS LAZARUS A Byzantine/baroque styled building, the church of Saint Lazarus is a present day wonder which was constructed in the 9th century, when the tomb of Lazarus was found in Larnaca. After being resurrected by Christ, Lazarus came to Cyprus and was made the first ever bishop of Larnaca (Kition), by the apostles Paul, and Barnabas. KALAVASOS / TENTA Believe it or not, this settlement is 12,000 years old, dating back to the Neolithic age. The villagers call it “Tenta”, a name owed to the cone-shaped roof that covers the kalavasos-tenta settlement. AGIOS LAMBADISTIS Found in the village of Kalopanagiotis, an agro-tourism village in the valley of Maranthasa, the Ioannis Lambadistis monastery is a medieval-aged building that was constructed by the Byzantines. It houses three churches, one of which is for the first bishop of Cyprus, St. Irakleidios. It also has a Byzantine museum within its walls. PAPHOS ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK The New Paphos Archaelogical park is one of the largest and most complete ruins on the island. It holds multiple Roman structures, from an agora, to the house of Dionysus, House of Theseus, the House of Aion, and the House of Orpheus. The different apartments and rooms are still being tallied, as the site is still in excavation. You’ll never feel more immersed in history. • SUMMER 2019 EDITION

Projects that are redefining
the View and Skyline of Cyprus
T
HE island of beaches, churches, and a past even the gods were a part of, will find its way back, and beat the statistics to stand on its feet again, and heading straight into development at an incredible pace. We are no experts, but we take a look at the new infrastructure projects that are making us see Cyprus in a new light;
THE LIMASSOL SEAFRONT
Limassol is the second biggest city in Cyprus, but sometimes you’ll be tempted to think it is the only city in Cyprus. A true tourist and investor magnet, the city of Limassol seems like it never sleeps. The seafront of the city is getting special attention and seems to be in the thick of the city’s development and transformation. Three large and mind-blowing projects are in the works for 2019; Dubbed simply as “The One”, a 77 million project by the developer PAFILIA is set to dress the landscape of the seafront, with a 170m residential building which will be the tallest in Europe, and will have an unhindered view of the sea. The Limassol Del Mar is another project which is set to redefine the skyline of Limassol. The project, undertaken by several Cypriot Development companies, including D. Zavos Group, and Leptos Estates, is set to deliver the first apartments in 2019.Dubbed simply as “The One”, a 77 million project by the developer PAFILIA is set to dress the landscape of the seafront, with a 170m residential building which will be the tallest in Europe, and will have an unhindered view of the sea.

MARINAS In 2018, the Limassol marina became a reality, and the other cities will not let themselves be outdone. Egyptian Naguib Sawiris took an interest in Ayia Napa, and a €220million project will include a marina and twin skyscrapers, is the result, with investors from the United Arab Emirates, ready to come in when the project is done. Developer PAFILIA has its hands full with the Limassol seafront and its latest victory, the contract for the Paphos marina, a €240million project, which will include 1000 berths and a mega allocation for commercial and residential development. The Larnaca marina will also undergo a revamp, and so far, three companies are on the shortlist for the final contract. REAL ESTATE One of the strongest cards on the table for Cyprus will always be tourism, and it may just never fail in its role as the gift that keeps giving back to the island. Harrods Design Studio will see to the birth of Parklane Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, and everyone is holding their breath. Luxury hotel chain SOFITEL has already laid down plans for its €300 million five-star luxury spa & resort project, while the REZIDOR Hotel Group is set to launch the Radison Blu Airport Hotel, which will be the first ever airport-hotel on the island. The landscape of Cyprus is changing and the sun of development seems to be rising higher than ever on this beautiful Mediterranean island. • SUMMER 2019 EDITION

We can accommodate intimate weddings, parties and events at Caprice Restaurant, be attentive to business meetings in our conference suites, and respond to personal requests.

Статусу-кво Новая книга об актуальности жизни вразрез с общественными нравами
O
DD One Out («Белая ворона» ) — новое произведение зна- менитого писателя Павлоса Ламбис а, в котором автор призывает читателей отказаться о т поспешных суждений и дискриминации в мышлении и сос редоточиться на собственных желаниях. Юмористический экскурс в мир предпринимаемых героем книги усилий, направленных на поиск нового
пути в жизни, которые заставят его пройти по самой грани и заглянуть за ее пределы, «Белая ворона» представляет собой поток бесстрастных воспоминаний о нескончаемых запоях, серии неудач, чреватых последствиями нервных срывах и… успехе. Увлека- тельное повествование затрагивает различные стороны жизни, представленные в отдельных сюжетах и образах действующих персонажей, многие из которых переплетаются на протяжении всей истории. Павлос Ламбис исповедует рефлексивный стиль, пронизанный безграничной иронией и сарказмом, тогда как положенные им на бумагу эпические строки мудрости и незабываемые диалоги способствуют нарастанию ощущения погружения в приключенческий жанр с крутыми поворотами на грани вымысла и реальности, заставляя читателя раз-ражаться безудержным смехом. ОБ АВТОРЕ Павлос Ламбис — снискавший всеобщее признание сценарист, писатель, драматург и режиссер, родившийся в Йоханнесбурге (ЮАР). Получив образование в Йоханнесбургской школе искусств, он переехал на Кипр, где работает в должности директора по маркетингу одной широко известной организации. В 2008 году, чудом выжив после едва не стоившей ему жизни автоаварии, Ламбис пристрастился к писательству и опубликовал автобиографию под названием «Где находится дом? Или “В мире неправдоподобных контрастов”». Самый теплый прием у читателей, которые получили мемуары, вдохновил его на дальнейшие труды, воплотившиеся в появлении основанной на произведении комедийной пьесы одного актера. Снискав на Кипре славу признанного драма- турга, Ламбис написал и поставил театральные спектакли, в том числе «74» и «Мелина: последняя греческая богиня», которые получили восторженный отклик у критиков. Среди его других пьес следует отметить «ТаджМахал», «Эвагора», «Воларе», «Сумасшествие Мэрилин», «Онассис: Последний час», а также «Разведенные, обезглавленные, мертвые; разведенные, обезглавленные, живые».

Кипр;
Богатое прошлое ИМПЕРИИ И ИХ КУЛЬТУРНОЕ ВЛИЯНИЕ НА ОСТРОВ
Остров сам за себя рассказывает о своей замечательной истории, проматери изумительного настоящего, сейчас самое время взглянуть, как остров изменился. В мире очень мало мест, которые могли бы состязаться с красотой и историей острова Кипр. Этот богатый средиземноморский остров сегодня стал одним из самых популярных туристических направлений не только для бесценных реликвий своего прошлого, но и для современных достопримечательностей. ИСТОКИ Остров Кипр считается домом и местом расположения многих греческих мифологий, таких как гора Олимп, найденная в хребте Троодос, камень Петра Тоу Ромиоу, который считается местом рождения богини Афродиты, ко всему прочему, легендарные события о Пигмалионе берут свое начало на великолепном острове. Гора Олимп считается домом греческих богов во главе с богом грома Зевсом. Адонис, бог красоты, также родился на острове, когда Афродита прокляла великолепную принцессу Мирру за похотливые домогательства к своему отцу, королю Цинирасу. Ее превратили в дерево, потом появился на свет Адонис, ребенок от ее отца. Король Цинирас - еще одна легенда Кипра, основатель города Пафоса и муж дочери Пигмалиона Метарме. Научные исследования показали, что города Лимассол и Аматус были одними из самых ранних населенных районов острова, но люди начали поселяться в деревне Хирокития, еще во времена неолита, более чем за 5000 лет до библейских времен. Каменный век около 8000 г. до н.э. увидит поселившихся на острове фермеров, которые, главным образом, выращивали зерно. Островитянам понадобится около 4000 лет, чтобы начать добывать бронзу и медь, но все же им удалось разработать добычу, и к 1500 году до н.э. остров стал цивилизованным и культурным обществом.

Расцвет империй оказался решающим моментом для острова, первыми, кто собирал дань с острова, прежде чем остров завоевали персы в 545 году до нашей эры, были ассирийцы. Однако в 333 г. до н.э. Александр Великий победил персов и захватил Кипр, что привело к сильному влиянию греческой культуры на острове. Даже после завоевания Римом ничего не изменилось. Христианство пришло на Кипр в 45 году нашей эры при римском и византийском правлении. В 12 веке византийцы провозгласили остров независимым, экономическое положение острова значительно снизилось, и Ричард I, король Англии, увидел в этом возможность, которую нельзя было упускать; он продал остров французской семье Лузиньян еще не успев завоевать его. Красота острова сочетает все культуры, которые когда-то населяли или правили островом, и некоторые из их лучших работ все еще можно увидеть сегодня по всему острову, большинство из которых в наши дни становятся объектами наследия ЮНЕСКО. Лузиньяны были у власти три столетия, лишь после смерти короля борозды правления окончательно перешли Венецианскому правлению, но через несколько лет остров завоевали османы, после них пришли к власти британцы. ПРИСОЕДИНЕНИЕ КИПРА К ГРЕЦИИ И НАСТОЯЩИЕ ДНИ Остров Кипр, ко времени британской администрации, уже был разделен на две части; на православную общину, которая отождествляла себя с греческой, и католическую общину, предпочитавшую турецкое и британское правление. Это приведет к энозису, борьбе за присоединение к Греции со стороны православной общины и конечному разделению острова, то что, мы видим сегодня. Кипр сегодня является членом Европейского Союза и после многих лет экономического кризиса вновь встает на ноги и достигает новых высот благодаря своему быстро развивающемуся росту в туристическом секторе. Богатая история острова и реликвии из этого сказочного прошлого в сочетании с чудесами сегодняшнего дня сделали Кипр стоящим местом для туристов, деловых инвесторов и искателей острых ощущений. Мы приглашаем вас приехать и понять почему, поверьте, вы не будете разочарованы.

Сегодня Кипр - рай для туризма и бизнеса, а еще несколько лет назад он утопал в экономическом кризисе. Остров пережил ренессанс и, в настоящее время, является одним из главных европейских направлений и перспективных экономик, но он никогда не забывал свои корни, традиции и свое истинное лицо.
Сельская местность, деревни. Когда правительство в 1996 году решило сосредоточиться на развитии сельской местности, помогая деревням и их жителям возобновить былую красоту, был разработан план, который стал гораздо большим, чем планом. Деревни не только великолепны: в сельской местности ощущается определенное спокойствие и успокаивающий эффект, вдали от городской суеты. Союз деревень, выросший в агротуризм, дал свои плоды: гораздо больше людей стало приезжать за безмятежностью, умиротворенностью и спокойствием сельской местности, приезжают сюда, чтобы посетить монастырь и пообщаться с сельскими жителями, обрести спокойствие и тишину. А теперь о некоторых самых модных направлениях; КАКОПЕТРИЯ Внизу у подножия горного хребта Троодос, находящегося в Никосии, Какопетрия находится в 55 километрах от Лимассола и является самой высокой деревней в регионе Солеа на высоте 667 метров. Спутниками деревни являются реки Карготис и Гариллис, встречаясь друг с другом в деревне, они сливаются и образуют реку Клариос. Первая настоящая жемчужина деревни - это захватывающий дух пейзаж, похожий на что-то из сна, когда зеленеющая округа как единое целое погружается в долину Карготис и поднимается с горы Троодос. Близкое расстояние до Никосии и Лимассола делает ее одним из любимых мест для отдыха.
ПАНО ЛЕФКАРА Население Лефкары, где проживает не более 1000 человек, навсегда стало частью истории Кипра и считается домом кипрского швейного искусства. Знаменитая во всей Европе своим ремеслом и изысканным стилем, Лефкара - еще одна деревня, расположенная у подножия горы Троодос, которую в 16 веке посетил Леонардо да Винчи. Будучи стоящим местом для отдыха летом, деревня Лефкара является одной из самых старейших на Кипре.

/ Деревни/ ПЕДУЛАС Однажды Педулас, будучи королевским поместьем, принадлежавшим франкам, во времена византийского правления станет одним из лучших культурных и коммерческих мест Кипра. Расположенная в долине Маратаса, Педулас - это деревня с потрясающими видами, вся пронизанная гостеприимством. ЛОФУ Построенная на холме между двумя горами, деревня Лофу находится в районе Лимассола. Эта деревня является одной из древнейших на Кипре, которая постоянно переходила от одного владельца к другому, так как правители острова приходили и уходили. От франков до англичан, каждый народ, приходя в деревню, давал ей свое название. Среди многочисленных фестивалей в последнее воскресенье сентября, каждый год, деревня празднует фестиваль Палаус. ПАНАГИЯ Усеянная и окруженная практически несчетным количеством церквей, каждая из которых посвящена Деве Марии, деревня Панагия является домом для первого президента Кипра, архиепископа Макариоса III, а также домом для очень редкого и исчезающего кипрского муфлона. Виноградники Панагии считаются одними из лучших на острове. Деревня расположена в Пафосе. ПЛАТРЕС Внесена в список как один из 119 деревень, которые существовали еще в 12 веке, во времена правления Дома Лузиньянов. Про название деревни существует множество историй, и всегда забавно наблюдать, как жители деревни пылко доказывают свою избранную историю. Расположенная в районе Лимассола, деревня Платрес является очень развитым сообществом, которая получила большие преимущества от развития туристического сектора, став домом для многих ресторанов, клубов и отелей.

СУПЫ традиционный Траханас, пользующийся популярностью в течение всего года. Название этому блюду дали одноименные ломкие сухарики из измельченной пшеницы, соли и козьего йогурта, которые после проваривания в течение некоторого времени приобретают кремообразную консистенцию. На заключительном этапе приготовления добавляется пригоршня маленьких кубиков сыра халлуми и приправы. Любители блюд из домашней птицы могут заказать Авголемоно - классический суп из нежного цыпленка с рисовой пастой орза. Его яркий, возбуждающий аппетит, лимонный привкус запомнится Вам надолго. «Авголемоно» буквально переводится как «яйцо с лимоном». При приготовлении Авголемоно предпочтение отдается курице, а не говядине или рыбе.

Традиционный пасхальный суп Маерица готовится из остатков жареного ягненка, еще не так давно украшавшего стол в качестве главного блюда. В него добавляют баранью косточку, лук, сельдерей, петрушку, взбитые яйца, рис, кукурузный крахмал, молоко, лимон и перец.

Все блюда кипрской кухни, как и ее богатая, насчитывающая несколько тысяч лет, история, неописуемо разнообразны: это ни с чем несравнимые супы, закуски, вторые блюда, а также лакомства, салаты и десерты. И не стоит забывать о традиционном напитке киприотов – черном кофе. Впрочем, местные жители вполне заслуженно гордятся и другими напитками – произведениями искусства в прямом смысле этого слова. То же самое можно сказать и об алкоголе.
ЗАКУСКИ
В качестве горячих закусок традиционно подается жареный на гриле сыр Халлуми. Его обычно сервируют конкасе из томатов и приправляют бальзамическим уксусом; Долма – рубленая свинина с рисом и томатами, обернутая баклажанами или виноградными листьями, и заправленная легким сырным соусом; Жареные на углях мидии Скхара, зарумянившиеся на половинках киви и заправленные оливковым маслом с лимонным соком. Или же Фета Саганаки – жареный сыр фета с посыпкой из сезама, чили и тимьянового меда.

Предварительно его маринуют в смеси лимонного сока и корицы.

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.

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.
H
A Кипре есть немалое количество преимущественно православных церквей, 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.
АРМЯНСКИЕ ЦЕРКВИ И МОНАСТЫРИ Армянские церкви и монастыри расположенных в северной части столицы - Никосии. Это одни из самых значимых исторических мест города. В состав этого, как считают многие, шедевра зодчества входят школы, епископальное правление Армянской церкви, монастырские подворья и внушительное древнее сооружение, со всех сторон окруженное забором.

O
ДНИМ из благословений острова является то, что большое количество его древних строений и земель живут до сих пор. Конечно, они не смогли бы остаться нетронутыми после столь долгого времени, но некоторые руины являются свидетельством подлинности прошлого острова и служат доказательством того, насколько прочной была архитектура прошлого и насколько Кипр был привилегированным городом.
Реликвии хранят так много истории и красоты, что большинство из них были включены в список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. Давайте пробежимся по некоторым из этих мест, стоящих того, чтобы их посетить. ГРОБНИЦЫ КОРОЛЕЙ, ПАФОС Расположенный в Пафосе некрополь датируется еще 4 веком, на самом деле, там не похоронено ни одного короля. Гробницы берут названия от истинного великодушия и величия строения. Большое количество подземных гробниц на самом деле вырезано прямо из скал, некоторые из них такие же большие и спроектированные такиж же стилем, как и дома.

КУРИОН Место гладиаторов, Дом Ахилла, храм Аполлона, чудо у моря, это Курион. Курион когда-то богатая провинция на Кипре, относящаяся к ассирийскому, персидскому и римскому владычеству. Акрополь, который, как полагают, был возведен во времена римского владычества, является одним из самых захватывающих сооружений, которые вы когда-либо сможете увидеть.
