Fascinating! I knew absolutely nothing about mouflons before reading this piece.

Amazingly beautiful place! It seems so very peaceful.

Cyprus sounds great, never actually considered the possibility of picking an excellent business conference venue, I'd often just look out for something functional.

In the wake of the terrorist attack in Tunisia and new visa restrictions on individual travel to Egypt, the Telegraph (UK) has gathered up a list of "fun in the sun" places for those in need of sand and tan. The list, with pictures, is  HERE...

Only about 3,000 Mouflon -- thought to be a precursor to domestic sheep -- exist on the island of Cyprus. Ian Cook shares the story of this interesting animal.

Ian Cook shares a visit to the Tombs of Kings in Cyprus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The aqueduct, while it looks ancient, dates to the 18th century. It was built in the Roman style.

Choosing the location of your business conference can be difficult, as you want a place that screams “professional!” while – at the same time – you want your guests to enjoy their time. You are looking for a place that is only a few hours away from almost every continent for convenience; where professionalism goes hand in hand with genuine hospitality; where the weather is nice; and a location that has something new to offer.

Ian Cook shares a visit to the fascinating Kykkos Monastery, Cyprus!

Great photos Ian. Paphos is one of my favourite places I have been to ever. I was in Cyprus for 7 months in the early 80s and visited Paphos several times. The Tombs of the Kings was a great place to explore. Thanks for the memories.

I love Roman ruins...your photos are excellent - as always!!

Great photos!

Absolutely incredible!

Glorious photography!!! So beautiful!

Great pictures of the fort. I especially like the last one. Thanks.

This is just amazing, hoping to go there sometimes soon

Ian, once again you bring back some great memories for me. The Kykkos monastery is an interesting site to visit. Cyprus was the only place I have been where I was able to ski in January up at Troodos one weekend and scuba dive the next weekend in Limassol. Another site worth the visit to is the ruins of the Bellapais Abbey, on the Turkish northern part of the island. It is south of Kyrenia and has amazing views of the northern coastal plains of Cyprus. Thanks for the amazing blog.

In Paphos you could be forgiven for thinking you'd stumbled on some far-flung corner of England ... there are British accents everywhere.
