Video: Expert tips for a family holiday in Cyprus

Yes, there are beautiful beaches. But beyond that, Cyprus offers families a multitude of opportunities for fun and relaxation, from educational opportunities (all those mythical and archaeological sites), unspoiled landscapes for getting outdoors, sumptuous luxury in its top resorts, delicious food and a long season — in October you can still swim in the ocean and enjoy beautiful weather. Plus, in 2017 Pafos has been declared the European Cultural Capital, so there’s no better time to go.

BritMums tapped 2 Cyprus experts — Susan Schwartz from the luxury blog Best Bits Worldwide who visits the island frequently and whose boyfriend is Cypriot, and Natasha Michaelides from the Thanos Hotel group, which owns some of the most luxurious and family-friendly resorts on the island.
