How does one begin to describe the heritage of country endowed with 10,000 years of history? Much of it is plainly visible: the ruins of Kourion, with its ancient theatre where concerts and plays still proudly take place, the Sanctuary of Aphrodite, the antiquities of Paphos, the Neolithic settlement of Khirokitia and nine Byzantine churches in the Troodos are part of the World Cultural List of UNESCO. Then there is the beautiful and varied Mediterranean landscape.
