Postcards from Cyprus
It’s easy to CY CYPRUS PHOTO: NISSI BEACH - AYIA NAPA Greeting fro C ru A history buff like you, really must come to Cyprus. I visited Choirokoitia recently, just outside Larnaka. An incredible hillside Neolithic settlement, where the very first Cypriots partied from the 7 th to the 4 th millennium BC. It’s one of the most important prehistoric finds in the area and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, you’ll find circular mudbrick and stone houses, made collectively by its past occupants along with vessels, figurines and tools. Coming here reminds you that the island first started paving the road towards becoming the thriving European country it is today, from these very humble, historic beginnings.
