Road.
Landing at Larnaca airport. Incredible landing - I won’t describe it - you have to see and feel it))) At the airport, in a kiosk with tourist information near duty free, they give out absolutely free maps of Cyprus and all sorts of interesting brochures about the country. Exit from the airport - 33 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. 30 minutes bus ride with a friendly and sociable Cypriot driver. By the way, he knows Russian quite fluently - he spoke about flamingos, efkaristo with paracalo and about "know criminality". Ayia Napa town. Agia Napa as the locals say. Holy village chtol ...I do not remember. Hotel. Melissa Beach.
Ayia Napa. Agia Napa
Clean, pleasant, palm trees, sea, restaurants and beautiful.
All sorts of tourists hang out on the streets in quite a large number. Lots of Russian and Nordic comrades.
Those who do not walk, ride a motorcycle / bike / car. There are a lot of rental offices of this very transport in the town.
By the way, we rented a double buggy for 55 euros per day + for 10 euros a gasoline car for 100 km. The town itself is small - a buggy really drives around the whole town in an hour. There are about a hundred local residents. Well, ten to twenty times, probably more tourists. The city is full of dark rooms for rent, restaurants and shops of various sizes with almost the same prices for everything.
At night, in the center of the city, something is generally going on that is not probable. Drinking like a river, music pouring in from all sides, crowds of charmingly cheerful people, promoters offering drinks-for-free-on-order-a-cocktail. After midnight, this whole crowd moves to the clubs and sausages there until the morning. The description comes out so dry for itself - nevertheless, it is beyond my literary skill to convey what is really going on there.
Hotel.
Melissa beach. Melissa Beach.
The hotel has an awesome swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas around the perimeter.
I myself did not swim in it - the sea was enough for me - but the Swallow bulged out regularly. In addition to the pool, the hotel has empty courts, a gym and a jacuzzi.
Well, the restaurant. Restaurant workers are highly trained. By the way, about havka. Everything is delicious. Breakfast is always the same continental - three types of eggs, bacon, sausages, a couple of salads, cottage cheese / yogurt, tea / coffee / juice / milk to choose from. Dinner is more varied. Salads, pasta, fish, meat, potatoes, vegetables - in general, anything. If not ol inclusive - all drinks in the evening are paid - such a small barrel : ))) In addition to the restaurant, a zucchini by the pool is open during the day. It costs about 10 euros per person to lightly eat and swell a beer in it.
The entire staff is very friendly.
There are Russian interns at the reception and in the restaurant, in addition, many hotel employees speak Russian to a minimum extent - so even without any knowledge of English / Greek, you can even communicate and solve your problems. Well, more precisely, probably - I didn’t try it myself - I spresh in English : )))
The rooms are air-conditioned, have sea views and are cleaned daily. They are especially carefully removed if 1-2 euros are left for tea - well, this is logical : )))
Separately, you can order a refrigerator for 3.5 euros per day and a safe dick knows how much.
Sea.
I would like to write "no comment". Nevertheless, it is not for nothing that this area received the Blue Flag (for cleanliness and all beauty : )). So. Sand, the most transparent sea, topless girls and not only, bars and all that. By the way, people on the coast, for the most part, are quite fit, sometimes athletic : ))
In Cyprus, almost all beaches are municipal. Pass fries, sunbeds and umbrellas for 2 euros.
Sunbathing on your towels / bedspreads / mattresses is also fries. About sunburn - oils/kremiki protective very much even are welcomed. It is better to bring them with you, so as not to buy expensively on the spot.
The sea was only the first day with small waves - the rest of the time it was almost completely calm.
Nature.
Mountains, thorns, beaches, flowers, stones, sea, lizards, eagles and the sun. Everything is gorgeous.
Tours.
Do not take excursions from tour guides "attached" to you. For example, a sea excursion for 65 euros from the nose may well be replaced by an identical one for 10, ordered directly at the port, though without a Russian guide. You can travel around other cities with the help of rental cars (buggies, motorcycles and ATVs do not roll) or by public scheduled transport - in any case, it will cost three times cheaper at least.
Food.
The cost of lunch in an average pub is 15 euros per person. The restaurant is about 20. Almost everything is very tasty.
Very large portions - by the way, a salad can usually be ordered one for two. The fish is prepared somewhat unusually for our taste - they use spices, which we, in most cases, never dream of.
There are several national dishes that can be ordered in most restaurants - for example, meat or fish meze (a set of 10-12 dishes ordered for at least 2 people).
Prices.
About something I have already written, about something I will write right now.
Mineral water - 1 euro
Beer - 1.5-2 euros
Lokum - 1.5 euros
Fruit - 3-5 euros per kg
Cigarettes - 4-5 euros
Local wine - 3-10 euros. The best brand is KEO. Almost all wine zhosky cracker by the way.
Sandwiches - 1.5 euros
Juices - 2 euros
Souvenirs - from 2 euros for fridge magnets to 30 euros for figurines. You can certainly find all sorts of garbage more expensive and cheaper)))
Olive oil - from 5 euros for 250 grams. expensive but incomparable.
Straw hats like "marlboro cowboy" - from 3 to 15 euros - half of Ayia Napa walks in them.
Food from 10 euros apiece))))
