Cyprus Holidays - Holidays on Cyprus:

Cyprus Holidays are a really broad topic for the single reason that it is probably the island's single biggest money earner.

Travel and tourism from the main European countries has been the driving force to many of the face lifts the island has experienced over the last few years.

From a second property boom, to entire Cypriot towns being developed to cater for the budget holiday maker such as Ayia Napa which was formerly a sleepy fishing village that was founded by Greek Cypriot refugees from the war in 1975 during the Turkish invasion.

Cyprus itself has many Public Holidays as listed below

Many of Cyprus's Public Holidays are based on religious events and celebrations. Religion plays such a pivotal role in the country's affairs that the church is probably the most powerful non-state organization on Cyprus.
