Cyprus Written from Paphos, covering the whole island
See Cyprus in 3D before you go.
Pick a city on the map above, open a place as a scale model, then read what is really worth your day, what it costs and the catch nobody mentions. Every price shows the date we last checked it.

How we score
Four marks out of five: Wow (how memorable), Ease (getting there and around), Value (what you get for your time and money) and Quiet (5 means rarely crowded). Every place also gets the catch: the honest downside. Partners never pay for a place or a score.
