Panas Village Ayia Napa

... and that is a change for me, too. This place is dirt cheap and suits my needs just fine though...I just miss being around other travelers seeking the same adventures since I am traveling alone this week.

So in my quest to crack this nut I visited 4 rental car joints in town and each had a three day minimum. No one would rent for just a day. One guy offered me a moped but it had to stay in the city limits and even that was $60. Hell no. I am not ...

Where Shopping is a Pleasure. Isn't that Publix's slogan? I found a grocery store called Billa where shopping may not be such a pleasure but their checkout stand can put you on a road to some. Now visualize the g rated checkout stand at Publix. All the "racy" tabloids are covered up because God forbid should someone steal a glance at Britney Spears sans panties. Besides, our magazines but a big black rectangle over anything worth looking ...

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 !

... all just fit and seemed perfect. On the return to Paphos we spotted
the spot where Aphrodite was born from the sea and her temple up on a
cliff. It was a very long day but one filled with several
interesting sites. I almost forgot...in Larnaka we happened upon the
church of St.. Lazarus where he was finally laid to rest.

... 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 ...

... single member of the choir was so thankful for this experience they had.....some of the people travelling for the first time to Cyprus. The people of the choir of Paralimni were so kind and helpful to everyone of us..... and me as a Cyriot felt proud for this warm wellcome we received from these people.The president Mr. Stavros Stavrou is the heart of the choir. After the Festival we were taken to a nice restaurant with both Greek and Cypriot ...

... swimming or sunbathing, but I am a bit disappointed because I am with the impression up to now that the Fig Tree Bay, is what I see infront of me from the Hotel's room. A BIG MISTAKE!!! I discovered in the following trip I had here, that the beach is extended on the other side of the fig tree. Following the small narrow road that leads to other hotels, you come to a long beach with the same colours and quality. It is open sea, calm crystal waters, for every ...

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 ...
