This Unravel Travel TV programme from Cyprus looks at weddings, honeymoons and holidays on this sunkissed island. From the very beginning, Cyprus has been a favourite on the wedding circuit. After all it is the island of love, ever since Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, rose from the sea. Being such a beautiful island it's no wonder that celebrities choose to holiday here and many even have their own Cyprus holiday villas so they can permanently take an island holiday. Peter Andre has a plush pad here while Senator David Norris from ireland relishes his villa in the Troodos Mountains. But it's not just celebrities who holiday on this island. With a range of superb beaches and inland hamlets to choose from, this island offers something for everyone.

The island of Cyprus with its striking coastline of white sandy beaches, sheltered coves and the warm water of the Mediterranean Sea has a lot to offer to the wedding couple and their guests. Monuments of ancient civilization, natural spaces of breathtaking beauty, activities for those who look for more than just a wedding under the sun and last but not least, affordability. One of the main reasons to get married abroad is financial. A lavish wedding in a five star hotel at home could cost up to €30,000 or more, while here in Cyprus you could be paying half of that.

In Cyprus its normal for locals to have weddings of up to 500 people and sometimes double or even triple that. Entire villages get invited and the celebrations can last for up to several days. Because of this, as well as the fact that it is easier to get married in Cyprus than many other places abroad, there is a long history of people coming to Cyprus to get married.
