Come to Cyprus - holidays with a difference!

While everyone knows that it's a haven for those seeking time in the sun all year round, many visitors also choose Cyprus holidays because of the wide range of activities on offer that are a bit different to the norm. With wonderful weather throughout the whole year and a choice between many a luxury hotel to stay in, Cyprus isn't just a place for a summer vacation. In fact, if you're looking for a getaway in May you'll not only find great value travel and accommodation, but there are also lots of unique experiences to discover.

Come to Cyprus - holidays with horsepower!

For those who like the excitement of motorsports, there's the annual Cyprus Rally - a thrilling three day event that's been held since the 1970s. Skilled drivers race against the clock around specially plotted courses that wind through the streets of Limassol as well as the nearby Troodos Mountains. Road sections see drivers having to stick to local regulations, but when they hit the special stages in the mountains it's a free-for-all! It doesn't matter whether you're a rallying fan or totally new to the sport; everyone will thrill to see these professional drivers and their powerful vehicles speeding around the courses.

If the roar of engines doesn't appeal to you, perhaps you'd like to take in the beauty of the Limassol Flower Festival instead. Again, this is an annual event that is held in early to mid-May, but it offers visitors an entirely more relaxed experience with gorgeous flower displays designed by local horticulturalists. You'll also be able to try out delicious food and drink in the company of the locals as you take in the colour and atmosphere.

Your luxury hotel makes a great base - but get out there and have some fun amongst the flowers!

The highlight of the whole thing is the Flower Parade, a truly wonderful sight to behold where costumed riders drive their chariots through the streets of the town. Dressed in glamorous costumes, they throw flowers into the applauding crowds who cheer their friends as they ride by. As always, the whole thing is accompanied with traditional Cypriot music, food and drink, allowing visitors to truly get a taste of the local atmosphere.

Of course, there's so much more to do around the island when you choose Cyprus holidays. No matter what your preferences - noisy and exciting or chilled out and calming - you'll no doubt discover something that appeals to you. All you need to do is decide which luxury hotel you'd like to stay at and prepare for some truly one-of-a-kind experiences!
