Many may frown upon hearing your vacation plan is Cyprus, or you may read negative comments on many websites suggesting it's not worth the visit. But please, turn a deaf ear to these and pack your bags because a regret-free holiday awaits you in Cyprus.

Here are 13 must-do things for those heading to Cyprus:

‘’ The first thing to do in Cyprus is undoubtedly shopping. You can find a wide variety of products and perfumes with enticing fragrances from world-famous brands much cheaper than in our country. So, you should plan a separate budget for shopping and another for your holiday.
‘’ After shopping, the only thing that comes to mind is Cyprus's fun and lively, legendary nightlife. There are numerous entertainment centers, nightclubs, and bars in the area. Even if it's not exactly your style, it's worth enjoying a night out.
‘’On the Kyrenia - Guzelyurt Road, you must see the Blue House, built by the Middle East's biggest arms smuggler, ironically also a lawyer, of Italian descent, Pablo Pavilides. The view from the mansion is panoramic, and it even has a confession room completely covered with mirrors.
‘’ You should see the Kyrenia marina and the nearby Venetian houses. The view is fantastic.
‘’ The island is also famous for its casinos. Surely, we've all heard about it. A little gamble for one evening won't hurt! Try your luck; if not in gambling, maybe in love!
‘’Apart from enjoying the sun and sea, you must go on a boat trip in Cyprus. Exploring the nearby bays and the blue waters can be peaceful and also take away the fatigue of the previous lively night.
‘’The Barbarism Museum, once the home of Mürüvvet Hanım and her children, who were murdered in their bathtub by Greeks, is one of the historical places that best narrate the island's past. A must-see.
‘’Let's not forget about the delicious Halloumi cheese when it comes to Cyprus. Don't miss starting a beautiful morning with a Halloumi cheese island breakfast.
You can walk through the port from end to end, but renting a bicycle could be even more fun. Don't forget your camera and hat!
‘’Lefkara lace, known as the handcrafted laces and embroideries made by women, might interest you. You can buy them as souvenirs for yourself and your loved ones.
‘’The Peach Kebab, which has nothing to do with peaches, is quite famous on the island. You might want to try this unique kebab during a meal break.
‘’Alcohol and cigarettes are also much cheaper on the island compared to our country and many others. You can buy plenty.
‘’Go to Yiğitler Bastion Park. A border runs through its middle, dividing the island into two. About ten meters across is the Greek sector. It's one of the rare, interesting places in the world.
