Compare hotels in Cyprus from NZ$156

On the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, in the south you’re in Greece, in the north you’re in Turkey—and in the city of Nicosia, you can be in both countries at once! You can also have beaches, culture and thousands of years of history thanks to Cyprus accommodation from lastminute.co.nz.

Things to Do in Cyprus

It can be difficult to choose between secluded sand, party beaches and action-packed aquatics. Luckily, you don’t have to. Start with Cyprus hotels in Paphos for a dose of history (it’s only the birthplace of Aphrodite, no big deal) with a side of snorkelling at Coral Bay. In Limassol, you’ll find plenty of black sand bays you can have all to yourself. And in Ayia Napa, close out your holiday with a little beachy bump ‘n grind.

You don’t need Istanbul accommodation to find the best mezes around—just head to Nicosia. It has Turkish baths, Greek ruins and Venetian city walls, so you can visit basically all of Europe in one spot. And if you just have to sample the local moonshine on your holidays, make a day trip to Kykkos Monastery to sample the monk-made (fine, we made that word up) zivania, a grape brandy.

Getting To & Around Cyprus

Fly into Larnaca International Airport (LCA), in the middle of the south coast, to get to the resorts of Ayia Napa and the big cities of Limassol and Nicosia; Paphos has its own airport (PFO). The airports will have shuttles to get to the closest cities, but the best way to make the most of Cyprus holidays is to add on one of lastminute.co.nz’s amazing car hire options.

You certainly don’t want tropical vibes, friendly locals and free shots in clubs where you can dance ’til sunrise—right? Well, if you change your mind, you’ll find the best deals on hotels in Cyprus on lastminute.co.nz. Finding the free booze is up to you.
