Visit the heavenly Archangel Michael Monastery

Located in Nicosia, known locally as Lefkosia, the festival is held on November 7th and 8th and turns the monastery into a market full of local food and wine.

The events website claims visitors will also get the opportunity to witness the 1785 fresco of the monastery's namesake, Archangel Michael.

Holiday makers on a cheap villa break could elect to stay in Protaras and rent a low-cost car to take in the sights on Nicosia.

The resort of Protaras was recently voted as one of the top ten emerging hotspots in the world and one of the destinations to visit next year.

Villas there offer both peace and tranquillity and are set among the Cypriot countryside on the west coast of the island and just a few miles from the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite.
