The hope of travel to Cyprus is green
Time consistently brings back life to the island in Winter and Spring
Green in Cyprus is a word that does not carry a very positive associative meaning, contrary to cultural hearsay. To Cypriots, the ' Green Line' carries much emotional distress, to what it seems a perpetual separation between communities, but fortunately it is a division which nature seems to often ignore.
Aside from the drama in Cypriot society, with the passage of time, winter and spring do consistently bring back the green and life to this blessed island of the eastern Mediterranean.
We all recognize that ecology in Cyprus is not a an emergent concept, judging by high penetration of solar heaters, but environmental practice in terms of renewable energy, sustainability, recycling, development and biodiversity loss prevention, may have longer strides before reaching 2020 objectives as set by different international Conventions.
We get to discover where the soul of Cyprus still live - the green countryside brings to life the authentic traditional making it accessible for satisfying travel experiences to a 1st world economy. From the Wines making villages of Limassol, to the Olive oil and the traditional Carob plantations, the eastern Mediterranean Charm has lots of seduction going for it, both for excellent vistas but also from an informative view point of how traditional customs are passed on or adapted to modern use.
