So is now the right time to travel! The editor of Sai Island Home is now here to present you with a three-day and two-night travel guide, collect it quickly!
After we enter Cyprus by plane, the first to arrive is Larnaca, after all, tourists who fly to Cyprus first come here, of course, it is inevitable to take a look, but the editor's suggestion is to take this as the last stop, because it is still not very convenient to carry luggage.

Cape Greco National Forest
Cape Greco National Forest is a relatively pristine area with different seasons and is nestled between the resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras.
Cape Greco covers an area of 385 hectares and is home to a variety of flowers, including orchids and other rare plants, and the park is in full bloom in spring. Hunting is prohibited in the park. Foxes, hares and hedgehogs are common, and more than 80 species of birds have been spotted, including many migratory birds. Visitors may also see lizards and a wide variety of butterflies.
These places are recommended by the editor, and I think it is worth checking in and shopping. Then the most indispensable thing in the process of tourism is the map, theme route planning, Chinese interface, one-click navigation attractions, and the Chinese electronic map of Cyprus produced by the island home!
With the map, it must be with the attitude of "the map in hand, I have the world", and play flying! If three days and two nights are not enough, the editor's advice is - play longer!
