Stadio Neo GSP, Nicosia

by vichatherly

A samll ground, only 23,300 seats. Built in 1999. Home ground to Apoel Nicosia & Omonoia Nicosia.A short coach ride from the hotel. It was a pity that nobody had bothered to build anything else in the surrounding area, apart from the open sewer.Beers had to be bought by the Welsh at the local 5-a-side football courts. This was the first time I could remember that Lee's usual bottle of vodka would have come in handy.Also there were too many UK holiday makers to make anything resembling an atmosphere at the game.

bored of beach volleyball?

by MrBill

If you are anything like me, I can take a few days of lying on the beach and reading a good book with a few swims in-between so that I feel like I have done something before the cocktail hour rolls around in mid-afternoon. However, if you are getting a little stir crazy lying there doing little else, there are many water sports activities up and down the beach. Take your choice from water skiing & wake boarding, tubing, hang gliding behind the motor boat, jet skis and sea kayaking amoung others. Prices start at CYP 3-4 per 15-minutes, half-hour, per hour depending on which activity you choose. Water skiing for example costs CYP 20 per 15-minutes, but CYP 3 will rent you a kayak for an hour. Sea doos are somewhere in between. The best time to waterski or wake board is early in the morning between 09.30-10.30 when the water is calm. In the afternoons there is usually an offshore breeze...

CYPRUS WRC

by stavlois

YOU COULD WATCH THE BREATH TAKING WRC RALLY IN CYPRUS. CHOOSE MOUNTAIN SPECIAL STAGES AS THEY HAVE LOWER DUST , LOWER TEMPERATURE, FRESH AIR , AND YOU COULD SEE LOCAL VILLAGES.LOCAL VILLAGES HAVE EXCELLENT WINE AND ZIVANIA AND NICE FOOD. BRING ON BIG BOTTLE OF WATER, HAT, GLASSES, VIDEO AND PHOTO CAMERA ( DIGITAL WITH 512 MB MEMORY CARD) TO CAPTURE MAGIC MOMENTS OF THE RALLY.IF YOU FIN GET YOUR FLAG AS MOST OF THE DRIVERS ARE FINS.BRING A COUPLE OF SANDWICHES IF YOU INTENT TO SEE BOTH SECTIONS OF THE STAGE. 2-3 HOUR DELAYS EXIST BETWEEN REPLICATION OF THE STAGE.

Troodos Mountains - sport activities.

by navaros

The Troodos mountains 1952 meters abouve sea level covers an area of 30 by 80 km, and provide endless scope for exploration by car and foot. The pine forests are paradise of flowers and birds. It is easy and to reach from all cities.In winter you can ski the snows of Olympus and in summer hiking and playing tennis.I was there in February, and snow hights was excellent for ski. We enjoy hot tea and a toast in the neare hotel. Such a treat!!!
