An island designed on musical foundations

By Allan Enyeart


Come and hear the music of Cyprus for yourself

From the first moment you touch down on Cyprus, you'll notice the sound of music in the air. It seems that music pervades all aspects of life and no matter where you go, you'll hear songs everywhere. It doesn't matter what kind of musical genres you prefer, all the way from opera to pop, you'll soon see that it's in the blood of everyone on the island.

Follow the sound of the song and see where you end up

It's well documented that the island has had a musical tradition that has been handed down through the ancestral chain dating back centuries. No matter what time of year you come, there will always be plenty of concerts or festivals for you to check out, all of which will be packed with people who are passionate about their music and love to share it with visitors. It almost seems as if every day is a celebration, so when you come across an event, be ready to get involved in the singing and dancing.

A highlight of the musical year occurs every July when the world famous International Opera Festival is held. All over the island, venues large and small come together and hold concerts and shows featuring the enraptured crowds and wonderful performers, presenting a wide range of pieces that are further enhanced by the stunning surroundings in which they take place. The most beautiful music in the world combines with luxurious locations to create an unmatched experience.

Get ready to dance until the sun comes up

Cyprus' music scene truly has something for everybody, so if you're into more modern tunes you'll be well catered for. Big name DJs can be found every weekend in the island's clubs playing out tunes that the rest of the world will hear months down the line, and summertime sees countless outdoor festivals that are unmatched. There's nothing better than dancing through the night with crowds of friendly people, losing yourself in the music as the beat washes over you.

You can also pretty much guarantee that there'll be music wherever you stay, be it a secluded beach hotel or somewhere in the middle of a bustling town, as many of them have local groups play to entertain guests every evening. Get involved and you'll no doubt develop an appreciation of the music of the island yourself. Only the quality of a beautiful boutique hotel can match the passion that the island has for its music, so why not indulge in a wonderful and unique break?
