Myths, Minotaurs & Post-Summer Magic in Crete
Vineyard, palaces, and mediaeval lodgings—these are the best stays in Cyprus.
With the rays, waves, and raves of the summer season now a distant memory, washed away by a Grade 4 tsunami of emails and zoom meetings, those of us in need of constant stimulation, the occasional pool day, and regular breaks from reality have not been coping very well. Swapping out sunnies for sweaters, it turns out, is a transition that requires grit, determination, and a lot (a lot) of weeping over hot chocolate.
But this year, instead of wallowing in our allergy-infested autumn sorrows and adopting our ‘woe is me’ personas until the (very far away) seasonal ushering of bikinis, bungalows, and banana boats, it might be wiser to simply recreate the summer instead. And here, at SceneTraveller, we think you should do just that on the seductive, sandy shores of Cyprus, where history, heritage, and—most importantly—high seas will cure any and all post-summer ailments.
So, without further ado, these are the hotels, resorts, and guest houses in Cyprus that will not only help you get a taste of the June/July/August Pina Colada vibes, but will also introduce you to some of the world’s most interesting artefacts, monuments and museums.
