Бархатный сезон The Velvet season

Decided to relax in Cyprus in October with three girls. I bought vouchers at the Northern Capital agency, tour operator ICS. 2 weeks - breakfast and dinner, hotel 4 * Vrissiana in Protfrase - 42 thousand rubles per person. Departed from St. Petersburg on October 2 by Cyprus Airlines. Flew, met, delivered to the hotel, everything is as always. The hotel itself is good, although there is a construction site next to it, but it didn’t bother me, because the double-glazed windows in the rooms are excellent. The rooms are decent, everything is new. True, the safe in the rooms is paid, there is no mini-bar and water is only upon arrival. Soap and shampoo changed every day, bedding 3 times in 2 weeks.
in the hotel - Czechs, Slovaks and Poles. Russian is understood and friendly. The restaurant and cuisine are excellent, a very large selection of dishes and fruits. Drinks are free only in the morning. We regretted that we took dinners at the hotel. There are so many restaurants and taverns nearby that you can't visit them all in a vacation. And what kind of gastronomic temptation is this song.
Prices are slightly lower than European ones, but the amount of food on the plate is beyond praise. I'm not talking about quality. The weather was great. 28 degrees every day. The sea is cool in the morning, warmed up by 11 o'clock and was very comfortable. The rating of the hotel is 4 with a plus. Protfras resort village, small and good for that. It has everything you need for vacationers at sea. The shops. restaurants, bars, tour. agencies and even a daily light and music show

"Dancing Fountains" - pleasure 19 euros. Worth your money, you won't regret it. It is better to take excursions around the country on the street, and not from a tour operator. The guides are the same, but the price is 20 percent higher. We went to the Turkish side of Cyprus and the mountains. Excursions were called: Famagusta-Kerinia; Suite grand tour. The first is 65 euros, the second is 45. I liked both. But they also have disadvantages. As always, they are delivered to stores where prices are higher. You can safely not buy anything from them. Of the souvenirs, I noticed the lowest prices at the Kykkos monastery.
It is a must to visit there. The most beautiful places, because the mountains. The resort of Protaras, as I understand it, is one of the best in Cyprus. There are good beaches. In other places, pebbles interspersed with dirty sand. Or imported sand. We had a good rest, checked ourselves in, but I would not go to Cyprus several times, as some do. Many countries are more interesting. Who are tired of Turkey and Egypt, you can go once. Prothorasu's score is a solid 5. The country's score is a 4. Cyprus is a former English colony, so everyone speaks English. No problem. Vacationers in the country: 60 percent British, 15 percent. - Germans, then Russians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czechs. Holiday score -4. Pros: close, warm, tasty, inexpensive. Cons: no nature, small beaches, a lot of people. Good luck to all!
