Asterias Beach Hotel Ayia Napa

... on this ride since it was a taxi. The girl at the front desk was no help at all when I asked if there are tours or if I could rent a car in town. Every one of my questions was met with a shrug, and "Maybe, maybe not." I am thinking, this is an English speaking island, is it not? What gives. Turns out she is from Latvia and the hotel is Russian owned or something so I forgive her for her limited English skills. This is the first time I haven't stayed in a ...

... tacky racy lingerie, all proudly displayed on clear plastic hangers. It's like the perfect dessert after shopping for your pleasures in Billa. Maybe our friend from Finland could stop by Sofia on her way home and try out her newfound "prettiness" as she called it.

I've left all that shopping madness behind and have made it to Larnaca, Cypress. I've got plenty of time here to explore and see what this desert island has to offer.

All packing and cleaning is underway !!! Only 36 or so hours left before we hit the tarmac at Larnaca !! Just need to get the dog wormed and de-flead (not that he has them !), groomed and then buy him a travel box for the flight !

Fingers crossed all our accommodation arrangements have been made for Athens and Samothraki !

This began one of the longest driving
days of the entire trip. If you get the chance look at a map of
Cyprus. We left Nicosia and headed to Agia Napa. En route we
stopped at a fishing village and several famous beaches. From there
we headed to Larnaka where following conflicting signs to the
Larnaca, Cyprus lantian1979

... Thekla on the very well-maintained dual carriageway. Nicosia is known locally as Lefkosia and is the world's last divided capital. The barbed wire and guard towers of the Green Line cut the town in two, with the northern side being the capital of the self-proclaimed Northern Cyprus and the southern half being the capital of the Republic of Cyprus. The division occurred following an attempted coup to unite the island with Greece in 1974 which led ...

Layover in Larnaca, Cyprus We take a very long bus ride to the airport. After 1 hr of waiting in the waiting room we were informed that the reason we were delayed was we were waiting for the Holy Flame from jeruselum. Who would of guessed!!!!!!!!! So after about 20 minutes we are told we could go board the plane. So we get on and I am stuck next ...

I set off for my Island - Beautiful Cyprus - with excitement again. This time I go all by myself to stay over the night at mum''s house, and early in the morning meet the rest of the choir who are coming from Chalkida -Greece, to participate in a music festival in Paralimni. I had a night out with my loving sister...and went to a nice Chinese Restaurant for dinner in Larnaca-Dekelia Road. We had much to catch on, and we were happily chatting and ...

Holidays in Cyprus !!! I have booked part of our holidays this summer at CAPO BAY HOTEL. We have been to Protaras several times, and we love it here. We have also stayed at AYIA NAPA a couple of times - a near by touristic village, but I am very fond of this beach here. Most of the times when down in Cyprus, I book here for a week. We are here on a Half Board basis, and it is quite expensive. The hotel is ok, but I was disappointed with the rooms which seemed to ...

LARNACA It is July, and we have come to the Island I love again. We are spending 3 nights in a nice hotel in Larnaca, enjoying the sunshine, having some quick visits to relatives, but mostly we are on the beach. The reason I am at this hotel this time is because I enjoy the early morning jogging by the beach. People from Larnaca, as well as tourists walk early in the morning and late in the afternoon ...

... especially so late at night. I pity those little ones, but the parents who have no idea what they are doing as well!!! The days go by and I enjoy every minute of my stay in Larnaca. I walk and exercise a lot. What else would somebody wish on a vacation? A peace of mind, and relaxation - this is what I have got here in Cyprus. I love taking photos, and especially during winter time, as I always sit on my pc and see my holiday ...
