With well preserved Greek and Roman ruins, crusader fortresses and bustling historic cities it is no wonder that visitors flock here and more are now coming for the golf, which as this guide to golf in Cyprus shows, is growing all the time.
The first grass course was built in Cyprus in 1994 at the Minthis Hills Golf Club, formally known as Tsada, and is located just 20 minutes from Paphos Town. A Donald Steel design that is set in the grounds of a 12th Century Monastary it is tree lined and provides a fun challenge for holidaying players.
A more serious test of your game will be found at the newer course of Aphrodite Hills and Secret Valley. Aphrodite Hills is a spectacular course with carries across ravines and spectacular approach shots all required. Playing down to the ocean on the 8th hole is a golfing memory to cherish.
Situated down the hill from Aphrodite is Secret Valley Golf Club which is a delightful course to play. With many mature trees and beautiful rock formations it offers both panoramic views and a testing game of golf!
