With its unique combination of golden coasts, warm blue seas and high wooded mountains, Cyprus can offer a whole range of water sports, mountain sports and everything in between. These include diving, sailing, wind surfing, water skiing, climbing, hiking, mountain biking and yes, even skiing – in snow!
