Head over to Makronissos Beach with its chalky white sands that are a joy to walk in or to Coral Bay, the sunbathers' paradise. With more than 10 blue flag beaches, Cyprus has more than enough coastal paradises for you to enjoy over winter. For a taste of home, head over to the snowy peaks of the Troodos Mountains where you can ski before getting back to your sun-soaked beach destination.
