Cyprus is an awesome place for taking photos. Some of the most photogenic places are:
1. Aphrodite’s Rock
If any one spot on the island tops the list, it absolutely has to be this one. Legend has it that Aphrodite, Ancient Greek Goddess of Love and Beauty, once rose from the frothy seas surrounding this rock, a destination that has now become the most mythical and one of the most famous on the island.
2. Nissi Beach
Powdery golden sands meet iridescent turquoise waters: this beach really is what dreams are made of…especially if you manage to get there before the summer crowds descend on this extremely popular Ayia Napa stretch!
3. Larnaca Salt Lake
Oh yes, images of the Larnaca Salt Lake are everywhere. A big attraction for a reason, countless people flock to the area to take some captivating snaps of the shimmering waters, especially when the gorgeous migratory pink flamingos arrive between the wetter months of November and March.
4. Cape Greco Natural ‘Rock Bridge’
The whole of the Cape Greco National park is rather inspirational, but this particular spot is really popular with photographers and has become quite a hit with newlyweds too, who head to the location for romantic pictures (often with their wedding gear on), especially at sunset.
5. Curium Amphitheatre
Perched on a brilliant spot high on a clifftop outside Limassol, this breath-taking site commands tremendous views of the sea as photographers take out their camera for panoramic shots of the patchwork land that meets the open seas.
6. Tzelefos Bridge
A Venetian stone bridge deep in the Paphos Forest that elegantly arches over the gurgling Diarizos River, this really is an impressive site if ever there was one, from whatever angle you look at it!
7. Akamas
From white sandy bays and deep blue waters, to valleys, gorges and herds of lonesome goats, this truly pictorial spot is rightly hailed an absolute nature lover’s haven!
8. Famagusta Gate
A glorious sandstone gate which once led into the old city, it stands as the largest and most imposing of the three gates of the Venetian Walls which surround the old city of Nicosia – built between 1567 and 1570 by the ruling Venetians – and designed by the famous engineer, Giulio Savorgano.
9. Lefkara village
Renowned for its gorgeous architecture, well known for its lacemaking and silver making traditions and reputedly once visited by Leonardo da Vinci, it’s hardly surprising that locals and foreigners alike flock to this place to take gorgeous shots of the colourful cobbled winding village lanes.
10. Troodos peaks
Rising proud above the island’s flatland, popular pictures of endless greenery and glistening mountain peaks come winter, form a stark antithesis to the typical beachy shots that grace the covers of many tourist brochures.
