2. A range of venues

Whether you’ve pictured yourselves tying the knot with the sand between your toes or up in the hills among the olive groves, Cyprus’s huge range of dreamy venues means you’ve got the pick of the bunch, whatever your tastes.

3. Local traditions

Why not incorporate a sprinkling of Cypriot culture into your wedding day? From folk music to traditional snacks, it’s the ideal way to give a nod to the island’s heritage. Handing out koufeta, AKA sugar-coated almonds, is a popular choice and a sweet reminder of the day, with each almond symbolising health, happiness and prosperity.
