UIA flew from Boryspil, everything was according to plan and there and back 2 hours 40 minutes, tour from TPG.
The tour is from October 7 to 14, but also back and forth at night, so 2 days was gone, a full 6 days, meals HB, the most budget room is Dbl (Studio Apartment).
The hotel is located on the main street where buses run, there are many cafes and shops nearby. The windows of the rooms overlook the sea, silence. The territory is small, there is a swimming pool for adults and a paddling pool for children, we did not swim. Breakfast tables around the pool. We did not meet anything bad, terrible and dirt with insects, maybe we were lucky.
Wi-Fi is free at the reception, the signal is good, even in the room near the door I caught it.


BREAKFAST every day is the same and poor - boiled eggs, fried bacon, incomprehensible sausages, tomato, cucumber, toast, breakfast cereals with cold milk, butter, jam and a machine with boiling water and various coffee drinks - this pleased, especially hot chocolate and espresso. Yupi juice, sliced ​ ​ cheese and sausage, sometimes feta.
We flew out early in the morning, so we skip breakfast, for a day at breakfast Krestina needs to order a lunchbox for the road, and receive it at the reception at night.

DINNER - we wrote out a ticket to the reception every day and went to eat at the SuperS restaurant on the right side, 80 meters from the hotel. We chose a dish according to the special menu, waited about 15 minutes until it was cooked, at this time a compliment from the establishment was a basket with warm croutons and butter or olives with pickled celery.
The portions are large, tasty, and fries go with everything. Drinks for an additional fee. We looked at the menu and calculated the difference in the tour, it comes out the same at 10 € per dish, 20 € for two.
We missed the first dinner, as we checked into the hotel in the morning of the next day, we were issued a coupon for lunch in a restaurant.
NUMBER 6, one-room more than 20 squares, large on the ground floor with a balcony, Studio Apartment at the entrance there is a mini-kitchen with a two-burner electric stove, an electric kettle, a saucepan, a frying pan, a cutting board, 2 cups, saucers, plates of three sizes, knives, spoons and forks. there is an extractor hood, a sink. In general, if you wish, you can cook to eat. We cooked shrimp once and soup once.
Towels and bedding in our room were white and new. The bathroom has a deep bathtub with a flexible shower hose, but apparently there was a water leak and there is a strip of rust in front of the shower. In the box shower gel, toilet paper and nothing else.
TV no Russian channels
Hairdryer is given at the reception free of charge upon request.
Safe in the closet for an additional fee of 3 € per day.
Air conditioning for an additional fee of 6 € per day.
Mini fridge for free.
Cleaning in the room seems to have been carried out, but it was - take out the trash and change the towels if they are on the bathroom.

I didn’t make the bed - thanks to her for that, I don’t like to pull the sheet out from under the mattress. The tiles on the floor are white, the towel for the feet in the bathroom is not provided! very slippery to get out of the shower. I took a washcloth and a little feri from home, as well as soap and shampoo.
There were no living creatures and mosquitoes, except for cats on the territory of the hotel.
Slept with an open balcony.

SEA, BEACH - beach towels are not issued, go to the nearest beach - The central beach of this area is Flamingo Beach 800 meters - with the most developed infrastructure, to Sunrise Beach 1 km, we walked there in 9 minutes and back a little longer downhill and going to shops.
The Fig Tree Bay beach is exactly 2 kilometers from the hotel, we walked to the embankment and further along the promenade along the sea further. There are a lot of people there, and therefore we liked our nearest one more, there is a shower, a foot wash, a toilet with a dressing room - everything is civilized, comfortable.
We took a beach tent with us, it was very convenient for three of us. There were also families with children with tents. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, after 10.00 they collect money for a sunbed 2.5 € + 2.5 € umbrella, if for two you have 1 umbrella and 2 sunbeds, then you have to pay 7.5 € a day, issues a coupon with a sunbed number for today, you can leave to come.
The air temperature during the day was +30, and at night about +22, the water in the morning felt cold for me +19, and in the afternoon even I swam in the sea, the water was about +26.
There was almost no wind. One day there was a hail storm and a downpour on the afternoon of October 13, the rest of the days the weather was fine!

To the right of the hotel, 100 meters on the opposite side, there is an inexpensive alcohol and drinks supermarket Nicks Bottle Shop & Exchange (we have not seen such prices anywhere else in Cyprus).
Supermarket LIDL CYPRUS on the left side of the hotel 1 kilometer, walked, visited 4 times, the prices are different, they need to be understood - the goods are below and the price tag is on the top shelf with other goods.

A few in Protaras Best Buy Supermarket, it seemed to us a little more expensive than in Lidl. I really liked the ice cream in boxes of 6 pieces Magnum. We went to the Metro supermarket, it is 5 km away. from the hotel towards Famagusta turn to Paralimni, nothing special, Lidl seemed even better.
In a lane almost opposite the hotel is the Church of the Prophet Elijah on a hill 115 m above sea level.
SHOPPING HOME Olive oil, for fun 1 stick Donkey milk soap, Halloumi cheese for grilling, sweets - didn't like it.
I paid everywhere with a VISA and MasterCard card of Privatbank, a regular salary card, I signed on a check without a PIN code, if the card with a photo is named, then you don’t need to sign. I checked everything on the Privat24 website clearly at the rate on the day of purchase, the rate fluctuated a little from 32.24 to 32.48 hryvnia. I bought cash € before departure for 33.30 UAH, so think about how profitable. For cash only on the bus and for excursions paid. The bus ride costs 1.
5 € even in Ayia Napa, even in Paralimni.
EXCURSIONS sightseeing Heart of Cyprus with lunch at the guide 45 €, and on a boat sightseeing from Famagusta to Cape Greco for 10 € per person with a drink and fruit.
I liked CYPRUS, I hope that there will still be an opportunity to visit, for me the thermophilic end of August and September are more suitable. Prices for groceries, fruits, fish are higher than ours and much, often promotions in supermarkets, pork is not expensive, and you can find the right product for your budget! .
Travel, enjoy your vacation, be happy! ))
