Кипр как он есть Cyprus as it is

The transfer often shows the internal way of the country. The country is in a mothballed state, progress, in view of difficult political circumstances, is apparently ahead of them. Driving through numerous hotels to our location, I thought - where is civilization.

The resort of Ayia Napa, according to experts, is a great place for a beach holiday. We arrived early in the morning and waited for our accommodation for 6 hours: we had time for breakfast, there was no hot water in the hotel shower in the room for the emergency needs of vacationers, leaving our things we went to the sunbeds by the pool and slept and sunbathed on them before our accommodation.

The territory of the hotel is tiny, but compared to other hotels that do not have their own beach, our hotel in the bay was a heavenly place. The hotel consists of two buildings, one of which resembles a "point", and the second stands along the sea.

Our windows overlooked the road with numerous shops and taverns, in the evening foreign vacationers sang karaoke until 3 am from a completely outdated repertoire. The sea is the cleanest, the water is the most emerald, in the bay, the sand is white. We were lucky and the sunbeds near the pool were 15-20 meters from the sea (free of charge), the entire beach was practically lined with paid sunbeds and umbrellas. The bay had a center for water activities, including scuba diving. Animation was for children and water aerobics, 1 time at the hotel there was an interesting Cypriot evening. The staff speaks English, tries to learn Russian, friendly.

The cleaning is good, there were no complaints, they even tried to fold our nightgowns with butterflies))) There are not many Russians in the hotel. BUT: our room was so-so - old plumbing, not so hot what modern decoration. They refused to move us, because the hotel was full.

The cuisine is excellent, comparable to Cretan. The food is excellent. It is better to take all inclusive, because.
in the scorching sun, look for fruits (there are few of them in the shops, but there was no market) or lunch to your taste will take a long time, because everywhere there is a standard set with french fries, etc. hamburgers. Portions in taverns are large, but you want a little bit - and this is still from the all inclusive series. But I recommend trying the cocktails, which are really good there (for evening expeditions to the club). Do not look for a lot of discos there - bars are open until 12 at night (located in a separate part of Ayia Napa - 20 minutes on foot from the hotel or 5 euros by taxi) and only 1 disco is open until 2 or 3 at night. So for these cocktails in the bar they pour complimentary drinks 40 grams each and then a coat.

Recommend the speedboat ride with barbecue - very refreshing. I do not recommend trips to the mountains to the waterfall - it simply was not there due to the drought - and the serpentine is exhausting, although if you want to visit a monastery with an Orthodox icon, then this is exactly the excursion.
I recommend the water park, where lemons grow and slides for every taste (both calm and cheerful), a bus runs to it for 1-2 euros, back you can cooperate with someone in a taxi for a euro.
