Hello! Help me decide on the choice of Cyprus or Greece.
I’m already starting to think about a summer vacation! Experienced tourists help me: 1. Cyprus or Greece (where the sea is warmer and calmer and the best entry into the sea) 2. advise the hotel, in addition to the calm sea, I want silence, but also the possibility of an evening promenade. it's for two. Thanks for answers !

These countries are very similar - both in terms of climate and the mentality of the local population. Greeks live in Greece, and Greek Cypriots live in Cyprus, which are the same thing. In Greece, in my opinion, it is more interesting.

You are asking a question that cannot be answered. Cyprus is one island, Greece is a dozen islands with a developed tourist infrastructure + the continental part. And all these resorts are different.

yes, indeed, it’s hard to say unequivocally - both there and there are good in their own way. Write more specifically what interests you - the opportunity to see something or just take a walk, will you rent a car or stay in one place? can write to your personal mail , I was both there and there, maybe I can tell you something

I agree with previous reviews - these are very similar, but at the same time very different places :) I like both Cyprus and Greece (I was only on the island part of it). It depends on what other preferences you have ... I like the entrance to the sea and the beach itself in Cyprus, in Greece there are often stones and the width of the beach itself is much less than in Cyprus ... There is a promenade both there and there - like a noisy disco , and calm-restaurant, in this they are similar. In Greece there are more places for trips and excursions, in Cyprus there is little to see, although we have traveled almost the entire island.

Thanks a lot everyone! I also looked at hotels in Greece and came to the conclusion that there may be problems with the beach. For me, the most important thing is a good entrance to the sea, silence at night, but also the possibility of a pleasant evening promenade along the benches. We plan to stay at the hotel without renting a car.

Greece needs a Schengen visa, and Cyprus needs a visa, it is easier and cheaper, and faster.
Cyprus is a party or beach holiday, Greece is more interesting for excursions.
In Cyprus, the sea warms up faster.

Good evening!
Dear wayway, there are many shrines both in Greece and Cyprus. In Greece, it is good to go to Halkidiki to visit Mount Athos, but they will not let you in because you are a woman. The story about Athos is here: http://blogs.turpravda.com/sigur62/63981.html
There are many in Halkidiki and other churches and monasteries, ancient and beautiful.
In Cyprus, the famous monasteries of Kykkos and Machairas, visiting them is not tiring, since Cyprus itself is small. And again in Cyprus, in Larnaca, the ancient and majestic Church of St. Lazarus, where you can get on your own. There is a phone number of an Orthodox Russian guide in Cyprus, in Limassol, who takes pilgrims to shrines without visiting any shops and without tastings, only on the topic. Write, I'll give you the phone.

Thanks again everyone! I realized that in terms of excursions it’s interesting in its own way everywhere. But maybe someone will advise a hotel that meets my requirements (I wrote about them above)

If the sea, then, of course, the Greek islands. In Cyprus, we were in Paphos. There are a lot of interesting things in the town itself. Some "royal tombs" are worth something. Beach-sand, a bay is artificially created with stones (in case of a storm). Although, when there was a storm, you can’t swim very far, as I like. But we were delighted with Cyprus. There are specific people in Cyprus. Lazy, they don't even catch fish (they bring it from England). I liked the climate.
Crete is a wonderful, wonderful island, only if you are not going to Malia (a youth resort with a bunch of drunken Englishmen in the evenings and other non-Russian citizens). Although there are a lot of wonderful places, there is something to see. Crete is good too.
According to my personal rating, the best sea was in Rhodes, they chose the place of Faliraki, there is the Mediterranean (and not the stormy Aegean Sea), and geographically the place is located so that storms do not seem to reach it. You swim far, the sea is amazing, there is no excess of paid water equipment, as, for example, in Crete - every now and then they watched, no matter how we were crushed. Huge coastline, wide, people do not lie on top of each other. Nobody drives from the beach if you do not take a sunbed and an umbrella, but come with your own towel. I really liked the Rhodians and fresh fish)

Speaking of Greece. Even in Malia you can find a cozy place with a sandy beach (High Beach), and on the island of Kos - the Marmari region. There are also good places in Zakynthos. In general, it is better to decide exactly where you want. So Evia is still remembered ...

As for the holy places in Greece, Athos was mentioned, but no one has mentioned Meteora yet. And you can stay in Halkidiki, Sithonia ...

a full-fledged promenade of these places is perhaps only in Limassol in Cyprus. At the same time, the best beaches in Ayia Napa (Cyprus).
However, there is a promenade with a path along it near the city of Rhodes on the island of Rhodes, but there are good beaches in another area of Rhodes (Faliraki).
