Cyprus is one of the most colourful and vibrant islands in the Mediterranean, and it has captivated people from all around the globe for centuries.
Yellow Lemons, North Cyprus
The brilliant yellow hue of the golden ochre sands in Cyprus creates an unforgettable landscape, as the sun gracefully bathes the stunning vistas in its warm glow, stretching far into the horizon. It is also the colour of so many historic and majestic castles and monasteries that are dotted around the island, connecting people for generations. Yellow is the colour of the zest of life, the humble lemon juicy and fragrant, straight from the lemon tree. From the hummus in our plates, to the glittering beer in our pints, yellow is the colour that brings happiness and joy to the island.
Infinity Adult-Only Pool, Acapulco Beach & Spa Resort
We instantly think of the blue jelly of the Med wrapping this enchanting island with its foamy waters. Crashing waves and the clear azure skies like a blanket of heaven above. Blue is the symbolic colour of the island because of the stunning Nazar stones (evil eye) that can be seen all over Cyprus. They can be bought as gifts to bring good luck and fortune to the loved ones of the local people. People often colour their shutters blue in many towns and villages because it means so much to them. Blue is the colour that brings peace and serenity and is what encapsulates that calming nature found in Cyprus. Blue is also the colour of dazzling azure infinity pools like that one found at Acapulco Beach & Spa Resort.
View from Kantara Castle, North Cyprus
Those lush, tranquil, green mountains and vistas are the symbols of harmony and abundance of the island. From the magical Troodos mountains on the south, to the incredible Five-Finger mountain range on the north, the island is painted with a vivid Tolkienesque green where hobbits would gladly inhabit. Green is the colour of the iconic olive trees, the luscious olive oil giving life to the people. Green is the colour of the beloved Korineum golf course that is dotted with swaying palm trees, or tall pines. Green is the colour of nature and of love, cocooning the island with delight.
Bougainvillea Flowers, Cyprus
Pink means beautiful cascading bougainvillea that wraps those whitewashed Cypriot homes. Pink is the colour that paints juicy pomegranates that are like jewels sparkling with life. Pink is the colour of the sky at sunset, when the flare of the sun turns crimson. Pink is the rose that pokes through the gardens of grandmothers sitting in their Cypriot village homes. Pink is the colour that paints the wings of the flamingos that sit in the salt lakes of Larnaca.
The Arkin Iskele Beach, North Cyprus
White are the fluffy cotton clouds bobbing up and down and the foamy waters of the sea frothy and fascinating. White is the colour of fallen snow draped across the Troodos mountains like a frozen veil of magic, where people go to ski and make snow angels in the white blankets covering the earth. White is the colour of the Cypriot bride, walking with hope and passion in her eyes. White is also the colour of the glittering stars that can be seen, silver specks of wonder that you can spot in the clear summer skies of Cyprus, and when you see a shooting star, your dreams might just come true. White is the colour of the gorgeous sea-daffodil petals. White is the colour of distant yachts hovering over glistening waters. White is the colour of peace and purity that blesses the island.
Golden Orange Sunset, Cyprus
The sunset orange sky is a breathtaking sight, as the sun dips below the horizon and the sky turns into a brilliant canvas of warm orange colour. The refreshing fruit of the orange and tiny mandarins dotted all over the island. Orange is the colour of creativity. From the ceramic pottery of ancient times painted in sienna, to the straw woven chairs crafted with love and dedication. Orange blesses the people with inspiration to craft something new and exciting, it is the essence of a new and bright future.
Fresh Figs, North Cyprus
Purple is the colour of the ancient fig, the symbol of prosperity since the time of antiquity on the island. Purple are the spiky dessert tulips poking out from along the roads. Purple is the symbol of extravagance and is found on the enriching grape right off the vine. Purple is the flowing wine of Cyprus right from the glorious vineyards on the island that people have been harvesting for centuries as a gift of exuberance, wealth, and fortune flowing like a river. Purple is the colour of mystery that enchants the island.
