An isle developed on musical foundations

By Allan Enyeart


Cyprus: an island built on music

As soon as you land on the island, you'll notice that Cyprus constantly has music echoing in the ether. Your explorations will reveal song wherever you turn as you quickly discover that it's a major part of the general community. It doesn't matter what type you prefer; everyone from lovers of classical to those who like to dance the night away are well provided for on this idyllic paradise.

Listen to the music that has inspired Cyprus for centuries

Cyprus has a rich musical history that stretches back through the centuries but has been kept alive as the knowledge and passion is passed from generation to generation. Concerts and festivals spring up all over the island throughout the year, allowing travellers to experience first hand the unique Cypriot sound whenever they choose to visit. It almost feels like there's something to celebrate every week, so when you explore the villages and towns, don't be surprised to see the central square bedecked in flags with a band getting ready to play.

If you're an opera lover, be sure to travel over to Cyprus in mid-summer as you'll be able to experience the world renowned International Opera Festival. Venues all around the island band together to present shows and concerts from some of the planet's finest divas and tenors, all of whom know that they're playing to incredibly appreciative audiences. You'll hear some of the most beautiful pieces ever written, delivered by some of the very best performers available.

Dance the night away!

For those who prefer their music with a bit more of a beat, a visit to Cyprus will certainly not disappoint as you find that it's the place to go to hear all the big new tunes. Famous DJs hit the clubs all around the island and play out the music the rest of the world will listen to months later, and summertime brings huge festivals where you can dance all day and all night. Let the beat take control of you until the sun comes up, and then prepare to do the whole thing all over again the next day!

Even when you return to your home away from home, you'll undoubtedly find there's music wherever you stay; many of the beach hotels have music every evening played by local groups brought in by the owners to perform for their guests. Let yourself be taken away by the music and you'll soon find you fall for it completely. The quality of a wonderful boutique hotel will only be added to when you absorb the music, so if you want to have the ultimate holiday, choose the musical magic of Cyprus.
