This land bathed by the Mediterranean is an invitation to step back in time, where mythological legends meet the traces of ancient civilisations. Its rich heritage reflects centuries of diverse cultures, from the Greeks and Ottomans to the Romans and Byzantines.
The journey begins in the bustling streets of Nicosia, a capital divided but vibrant with history. The Cyprus Museum reveals fascinating archaeological treasures, while the Old Town transports you to a world where Eastern and Western cultures intertwine.
The shores of Limassol then welcome you with their Mediterranean charm. In Paphos, the legendary rock of Aphrodite connects you to mythological tales of love and beauty, while the mosaics of the archaeological city bear witness to remarkable artistic skill. Michel Petrossian will enrich these discoveries with his erudite anecdotes and his passion for ancient civilisations.
The Troodos mountains reveal a more secret side to Cyprus, with picturesque villages and hidden Byzantine monasteries. The monastery of Kykkos, with its sumptuous frescoes, is a veritable ode to sacred art. The peaceful setting of Kalopanagiotis is the perfect place to stop and contemplate the island's cultural wealth.
Finally, the Solea valley and its Byzantine churches will remind you of the deep spirituality of this land, a place where architecture and sacred art meet in perfect harmony. Each stage of this collective journey is an opportunity to share, discover and marvel.
