3. CYPRUS’S CULTURAL HERITAGE
10,000 years of Cyprus history make it impossible to even begin to describe the Cypriot culture. Ten millennia of history has left its mark allover the island of Cyprus, in the hundreds of archaeological sites scattered around Cyprus. To name but a few, the ancient amphitheaters of Curium outside of Limassol and of Paphos where even now, during the summer months, concerts and plays still take place, the neolithic settlement of Hirokitia, the tens of Byzantine churches dotted around the island, the antiquities of Paphos, the sanctuary of Aphrodite and more.

4. CYPRUS’S TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS
Apart from the many religious customs and traditions that can be traced back to the origins of Greek Orthodoxy and are evident during Easter, Christmas, the festival of the flood (kataklysmos), Saint Paul's feast and other religious celebrations, there are many more relating to music dancing and wine. For example the Wine Festival of Limassol taking place every year during the month of September, where wine is free flowing for ten to twelve days. Where music and dance are concerned, Cyprus has quite distinct traditions from those of Greece. Traditional Cypriot costumes, dancing face to face or in a group, accompanied by violin or flute music, is the norm.
