We chose an inexpensive hotel, as we were going to actively spend time and only for 7 days. And they made the right choice.
Flew from Join Up from Zhuliany airport, meeting side of Nicky Travel. Everything is fine, in vain they feared about the choice of a tour operator. The plane was normal, without delay, on board there was a snack in the form of a roll with ham and cheese, tea, coffee, water. We flew to Paphos, the transfer to the hotel took about 3 hours, not very tiring, even interesting.
Upon arrival at the hotel, our cards were already ready and we were immediately settled in building "B", a separate building across the path from the reception. Room 2307 was with a side sea view. Everything worked, we liked the room. Air conditioning is free, TV remote without deposit, one badly tuned Russian channel, no hair dryer, adapters were no longer available, bought in a supermarket. All the necessary utensils were there. Electric kettle, stove with oven, toaster. There was soap, no shampoos and gels. Cleaned well, towels and sheets changed. We didn't take the safe.
The territory is not very large, four buildings, some balconies overlook the main street, noisy. There are a lot of sun loungers around the pool, however, we have never swum in the pool, there was no desire, since the wonderful sea is nearby.
The beach is very close, you need to walk between the two hotels. The sea and the entrance to it are wonderful. The water temperature was 25-26 degrees. We took sun loungers and an umbrella. It's impossible to lie down without an umbrella.
Meals were taken breakfast + dinner. Liked. Every day for breakfast the same thing, but just a lot and delicious. There is also a large selection for dinner. A Lidl supermarket is located a short distance from the hotel behind the car park. Very comfortably. Water and drinks are cheap there.
The hotel has a lot of Russian-speaking tourists.
We went on excursions Famagusta-Kerinia (48 euros), Grand Tour (38 euros). Dinner was not included, we got our own sandwiches. Excursions are organized by the travel agency Aphrodite Tour, an agency that is located to the left of the hotel cooperates with them. The organization is good, everything is on time, the bus and the driver are good. Guide Arina is simply beyond praise, a guide from God. We were lucky, we got on both excursions with her.
Excursion Famagusta-Kerinia really liked. Northern Cyprus is beautiful and there is a lot to see. The ascent to the monastery of St. Hilarion is difficult, but worth it. There you have to overcome three levels, shoes should be comfortable, you need to calculate the time, since the descent is also not easy. The Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Famagusta, the fortress in Kyrenia and the White Abbey also deserve attention. Of course, everything was running, but the impressions were still positive, although we were tired, we had to walk up the stairs a lot. When crossing the border into Turkish territory, you need the original passport, no photocopies. We checked our visa on the way back.
The Grand Tour included wine tasting, a visit to the Kykkos Monastery and the village of Lefkara. Filigree silverware in the village is sold beautiful, but almost twice as expensive. Something in Protaras could be bought cheaper. So do not rush to buy, look first in stores. Silver icons in Kykkos Monastery are also at the same price, and some are even cheaper. The tour is not very tiring, the mountains are beautiful, only the serpentine is serious, some were not very good, especially for children.
We also bought tickets to the pier a couple of hours before the boat left (on board there is an advertisement for Coca-Cola for 10 euros). We rode for 2.5 hours with nice calm music from Famagusta to Cape Greca, bought in the Blue Lagoon, they even gave us drinks as a gift when we boarded. Had a very good time. It's better to go before lunch. The backlight of the sun on the shore, the photos are better. Themselves after dinner went to the church on the mountain in Protaras. The view is very beautiful. Finding a church is not difficult.
In general, a transfer along the southern coast from Paphos airport to Protaras to the hotel, excursions to the occupied territory in the north of Cyprus to Kyrenia and to the central part with a visit to Kykkos, a boat trip along the coast allowed us to get to know the island. I liked Cyprus and Protaras itself. The sea is very beautiful, clean and warm
One drawback is the local youth. I read in the reviews that they come here from all over Cyprus for the weekend to relax, since this part has the best beach, but I didn’t think that there were so many. Not only are they VERY noisy and inadequate, they also leave a lot of garbage behind. Also, in the building in which we lived, there is no control, and they drive in cars with companies. At night they walk in full, sleep until lunch, and then rage on the beach. For them, there are no norms of behavior, and the world around them does not interest them. Tourists on the beach try to hide from them in the corners. Yeah...., they do not appreciate what they got, and they are not going to save. No one is in a hurry to work there and the crisis is not for them.
It’s good that thanks to the reviews, we were aware of a large number of local vacationers on weekends and planned excursions for ourselves, since there weren’t even free sunbeds on the beach, and there was just a “guard” in the sea.
Output.
1. The hotel is good, food and service too, but if you want a relaxing beach holiday, then you need to choose either another area or a vacation time when schoolchildren and students do not have vacations.
2. In general, we were satisfied with the trip and have never regretted choosing a country and a place for our next vacation at this time of the year, although there were some doubts when the question “where to go? ” became. After the trip, I radically changed my opinion about Cyprus. We got new, vivid impressions of the country and the sea, for which we went. Which is what I wish for everyone. The main thing at the same time is to understand for what purpose and for what money you are going to spend your vacation.
I would like to once again thank everyone who shares their experience and invaluable information, thanks to which our vacation, as always, was five points.
