Cyprus Luxury Golf and Wine
Monday 1st November to Friday 8th November:
Luxury Golf and wine holiday in Cyprus. It occurred to us that many keen golfers also love wine and we thought we’d organise a week’s holidayto be remembered for wine-loving golfers and their golf widows. We chose the plush Aphrodite Hills Hotel resort overlooking the best golf course in Free Cyprus. We’ve planned two rounds of golf there and two more at nearby golf courses.
Luxury Golf and wine holiday in Cyprus.
There are a host of attractions for non-golf playing partners – spa treatments, gym, tennis, horse riding, free shuttle to private beach. We’ll take you to some great wineries on the Paphos and Limassol wine trails and we’ll have some fantastic Greek meals along the way.
