Early summer in Cyprus (May 2001)

Although only May, it was already very hot in Cyprus with temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius and above. Nevertheless I was able to visit the three world heritage sites: the 9000 year old town of Choirokoitia, the tombs and mosaics of Paphos, and the Byzantine churches in the Troödos mountains. I never imagined that Cyprus was so rich in historical sights, and the most amazing thing is that there is a lot more to be discovered as most of the excavations are from recent date and only scratched the surface so far.
