Дни пролетели незаметно! The days have flown by!

In August 2014, we rested in the Golden Coast (in the second building, breakfast + dinner). Pros: - first line, well-groomed beach area with sun loungers, near the bay, clean and calm sea, you can dive with a mask - Russian-speaking staff - a variety of breakfasts and dinners - animation for children (your children will be engaged from morning to evening) - the hotel has shop (essential goods can be purchased there + a few souvenirs + local mobile communications are sold) - standard rooms (there is a balcony, there is a kettle + tea / coffee in the room, a clothes dryer and a large closet where all your suitcases and things will fit, a safe is free) And now I will tell you in general about the location of the hotel and the nuances of the rest. Excursions You can safely even buy from a tour operator at the hotel a difference of 1-2 euros, there are many points in the city where you can buy tours or rent a car. On average, prices for excursions are from 40 to 70, from 70 to 100 are already more exclusive. The hotel is expensive to rent a car. And now the most interesting thing is that the hotel is located in such a place that there is NOTHING except the hotel and local villas, only a mini market across the road (buy everything you need there + a large assortment of souvenirs). In a 10-minute walk to the left or right, there are 2 cafes where they cook tasty and budget. There are no pharmacies nearby, only in the center of Protaras and Ainape. There are bus stops near the hotel in both directions. Buses run every 10-15 minutes. There are no traffic jams))). If you are in Cyprus, be sure to try the fish meze)!! ! There are also difficulties with fruits, even if you visit the local Carrefour or Lidl stores in Protaras, then the choice of fruits there is not so big, we have even more in Auchan. Be sure to rent a car, so you will see more and will not be tied to a place. Renting a car is easy, it just takes time to change to left-hand traffic))). The police are loyal to tourists and do not stop in the resort areas. Gasoline costs about 1.30-1.35 euros. They also rent navigators in Russian. Cypriots are friendly and will always help you. There is a big and chic FRUIT shop in Larnaca, it specializes only in fruits and vegetables, it has several types of each fruit and they also make fresh juices in the store!!! ! Freshies in Cyprus are generally rare. In most cases, these are packaged juices or powdered ones. Be sure to visit sea fishing - it is very interesting than just sailing on a boat. Those wishing to visit church places, go to Kikos, there will be an excursion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is closed in salary, there is a marketplace where you can buy delicious sweets, nuts, interesting church decorations, icons (a very large assortment). Go to the fountain show in Protaras (this is for those who have never gone). Lunch / dinner costs approximately for two as follows: if fast food or Turkish food is 15 euros, European food is somewhere around 30-40 euros without alcohol. Prices for souvenirs are almost the same everywhere, well, maybe a difference of 20-50 cents.
