Archaeology
Cyprus history stretches back 11000 years. Archaeological sites range from the Neolithic period to Roman times and are near the coast.

The neolithic site of Choirokoitia and the Antiquities of Pafos are listed in the UNOSCO catalogue of the World Cultural Heritage Monuments.

Geology
The geological formation of Cyprus is an open challenge to both scientists  and amateurs. A huge underwater volcanic eruption formed Troodos 90 million years ago. From a geological point of view Troodos consists of plutonic igneous rocks. The rocks became solidified deep on the ocean bed. Such rocks are the serpentines,gabbro and diabase. The central mass of plutonic rocks is surrounded by a very interesting geologic volcanic formation.

Byzantine and Medieval History
The Byzantine and Medieval periods are the most easily appreciated by visiting the many mountain churches with their frescoes dating from the 9th century AD to the 18th century AD. There are ten Byzantine churches that are listed in the UNESCO catalogue as Worlds cultural heritage monuments.
