If you’re worried that there won’t be much to do over the holidays in Cyprus then don’t worry. This island is packed full of wonders all year round. Here are just a few of the activities you can take part in when you choose to spend your next Christmas in beautiful Cyprus.

inner 61 Christmas activities to do

  1. Visit a real winter wonderland

When you imagine Cyprus, you’re probably thinking of stunning sea views and of course, plenty of sunshine, and while that’s all true, you may not know that you can actually experience a white Christmas too! If Christmas just isn’t Christmas without snow, then take a trip up to Troodos and step into a magical winter wonderland scene. Up here the temperature falls and you’re quite likely to find the peaks covered in snow! Don’t forget your camera, you’ll get some brilliant photo opportunities here!

 

  1. Buy some unique Christmas gifts

Christmas shopping can be stressful, but in Cyprus it’s a whole lot of fun. You won’t have to browse round the same boring all shops like you do back home, instead visit one of the many markets and festivals and pick up special gifts that are totally unique.

 

  1. Warm yourself up with traditional soup dishes

Cyprus is well known for its food, and there are some delicious warming soup dishes that are even more enjoyable when devoured at Christmas time. Try trahanas, a soup made from grain and yoghurt, or avgolemono, an egg based soup with chicken and rice, gently flavoured with lemon.

After a hard day’s Christmas shopping, it’s nice to stop off for a drink and relax for a while. Even in Cyprus, you will find small cosy cafes to totally put you in the Christmas spirit.
