holidays in Crete in Paphos
I’ll say right away: I didn’t really like it. Firstly, Cyprus is more expensive than, for example, Crete or Turkey, but it’s not clear why to overpay. It’s much better to go to Greece for less money. Secondly, food in Cyprus (in Paphos) is not very tasty. That is, I didn’t like the food either at the hotel or in cafes, it was just tasteless cooked, so it’s a shame to leave 45 euros for lunch for two, remaining completely dissatisfied. You can eat deliciously there, but before that you need to carefully study brochures on restaurants, reviews of restaurants (or cafes) on the Internet, and only then go to this place. Thus, my husband and I first carefully studied the information, and then only went somewhere. Question: do you need this on vacation? I want to relax and just walk around the city to go to some place to have a tasty meal, but this is not about Paphos in Crete. Thirdly, a lot of English and French people of very old age rest in Paphos, that is, this is not a youth resort, although young people are there also meet. Before going to Paphos, we, of course, read reviews that elderly people rest there, but we didn’t think that there were SO many of them. We really wanted peace and quiet, so we chose Paphos, but it’s better not to go there for young people. , immigrants from Russia (Caucasus)) some kind of rejection of us as tourists. One of the examples: Russian-speaking girls in a restaurant began to teach me how to take food in a restaurant with a buffet (by the way, I did everything normally and had already been to good hotels) and this against the backdrop of how the English old people pushed us there and all the time climbed out of line for some dish, almost knocking you off your feet. One old man walked on my legs so well, and didn’t even say anything! I'm so sorry, are you ok? - nothing! There were other moments on the part of the Russian-speaking staff that I really didn’t like, but I won’t describe it, because for a long time. In short: they treat British or French tourists with respect, but we were treated like this: Is it so that you are resting here? We are working here as saleswomen-cleaners, and you have come here to rest! Disorder. "
And now the positive points: firstly, the climate, of course, is excellent. Secondly, there are interesting places, such as a water park or a zoo, where you can have a good and interesting time. Thirdly, Larnaca has a very good airport and good duty-free . Well, the roads, of course, are also good there.
In general, the conclusion is this: for less money it is better to go to another country. By the way, all sorts of souvenirs and local specialties are brought to Cyprus from Crete. That is, honey or cosmetics with olive oil are from Greece.
