Cyprus Dos and Don'ts

If you're from a colder climate and tend to be lucky with the weather, it's worth going in the off-season and avoid rowdy tourists. February is still warm enough to swim and sunbathe, while the locals don sweaters and jackets. For a challenge, rent a bicycle and take on the rugged paths through volcanic rock leading out to Cavo Greco. Afterwards, enjoy a cool beverage and the scenery around the old monastery.

Limassol is a beautiful place, full of life and of welcoming people - like all of Cyprus. Even if the beach is not made of sand, but of pebbles, that will not take away anything from the beauty of the Mediteranean Sea. I've never seen a sea so clean! I saw it's bottom from the window of the airplane. In order to move around freely, rent a car - but be careful cypriots drive like english people - on the wrong side of the God damn road! Ask a local's help to choose a rent-a-car firm over another - they'll be glad to help, especially if you try to learn a word or two in their native tongue. Cypriots - as greeks - will be more than delighted to let you practice your awfull language knowledge on them. The almost bloom if you ask them of their culture and/or history. Bring summer clothes and a warmer jacket. Even if a local tells you it's cold don't bother - for cypriots 25 degrees Celsius is considered to be "cold". Always check your own meteo forecast. Hotels have lots of services to offer and the prices are not as steep as they could be. Romania is much more expensive! With about 2000 euros you and 2 friends can have a wonderfull week long stay in Cyprus. As for attractions, you won't have time to see them all in just a week: the castle of Kourion, the temple of Apollo, The birth place of Afrodite are just a few places to go visit, the ones I've seen, and only in Lemessos area! Have fun, enjoy the people, enjoy the food and your stay in Cyprus - you'll come back with beautiful memories and gorgeous pictures. For sure!

Firstly!! Bring a map if you have not been before! I found that out by driving around for what seemed like hours and only finding half of the things I wanted to see. Limassol has some great hotels but be prepaired to travel to the bars and resteraunts if your wanting to stop at a really nice hotel. There is some good shops but dont expect any bargains, nothing is cheap. Most of the locals are great and are helpful. There is some rough areas so be careful where you go and plan ahead. There is watersports available but its not the best part of the island to be as its quite open and the waters can be choppy.

Small town/village, only few tourists. Good prices for shopping. Visit the big church in the center of it. There is the new one and behind it there is a really old one..

La costa de la Bahía de Coral es un espectáculo. Está al norte del nacimiento de Afrodita y sus aguas son impresionantes.
