An island built on musical foundations

By Allan Enyeart


Cyprus: an island built on music

As soon as you land on the island, you'll notice that Cyprus constantly has music echoing in the ether. Your explorations will reveal song wherever you turn as you quickly discover that it's a major part of the general community. It doesn't matter what type you prefer; everyone from lovers of classical to those who like to dance the night away are well provided for on this idyllic paradise.

Listen to the music that has inspired Cyprus for centuries

Cyprus has a rich musical history that stretches back through the centuries but has been kept alive as the knowledge and passion is passed from generation to generation. Concerts and festivals spring up all over the island throughout the year, allowing travellers to experience first hand the unique Cypriot sound whenever they choose to visit. It almost feels like there's something to celebrate every week, so when you explore the villages and towns, don't be surprised to see the central square bedecked in flags with a band getting ready to play.

If you happen to travel to Cyprus in July, you'll be able to take in the world famous International Opera Festival. Here you'll witness the people come together as one, with numerous venues across the island holding concerts that celebrate the majesty of opera. Classic pieces are performed by some of the world's finest talents, all of whom know that this is the place to be for opera lovers if they wish to hear the very best.

Dance the night away!

For those who prefer their music with a bit more of a beat, a visit to Cyprus will certainly not disappoint as you find that it's the place to go to hear all the big new tunes. Famous DJs hit the clubs all around the island and play out the music the rest of the world will listen to months later, and summertime brings huge festivals where you can dance all day and all night. Let the beat take control of you until the sun comes up, and then prepare to do the whole thing all over again the next day!

Even if you don't leave your chosen beach hotel, you still won't be able to escape the influence of the music as many of them choose to bring in local groups to entertain their guests in the evening. Throw yourself into the experience and who knows, you may develop a love for the music of the island yourself. Combine the luxury of staying in a beautiful boutique hotel with the passion you'll find in music and you'll soon see there's no better way to spend a holiday.
