For years the most popular countries for UK tourists to visit were France, Spain and Portugal. In more recent times however, Cyprus has become one of the most popular destinations with UK holidaymakers and could be on the way to becoming the most popular holiday location for British travellers.

Cyprus enjoys a beautiful climate with phenomenal weather and a large percentage of sun throughout the year. The beaches are stunning and the people are generally very welcoming of UK tourists. The countryside in Cyprus is absolutely stunning, with amazing hills, mountains and some amazing views it represents the ideal backdrop to a relaxing, sun filled holiday. A great way to spend time in Cyprus is to take out a contract hire car and enjoy driving around the small but extremely beautiful island. There are a good number of car leasing outlets in Cyprus to cater for tourists, so you’ll be able to get hold of anything you’re looking for. Most outlets cater to the more expensive end of the market, allowing you to drive around in a shiny new BMW contract hire car, and you’ll be able to find a good deal if you’re willing to shop around.

Although Cyprus is extremely popular with older generations looking for a sun-filled, relaxing holiday, but it’s also growing in popularity with the younger generations. There are a huge number of bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants all around the island, and it has a couple of world renowned party towns, including the legendary Ayia Napa.

There are also some great shopping outlets and malls in Cyprus, with the island being particularly good for jewellery and clothes. There’s also a huge amount in the way of activities, with golf, mini golf, bowling, pool, sport and go kart courses all over the island. Cyprus really does represent a fantastic mixture of the old and the new, with fantastic new facilities mixed in amongst traditional buildings, markets and ways of life.

There’s something for everyone in Cyrpus, which, coupled with the weather is probably the main reason why it’s become so popular with UK tourists. It’s also extremely easy to get to, with most major airports in the UK operating flights out to Cyprus.
