    Baths of Aphrodite
    by KelseyQ
    The Baths of Aphrodite were horrible.
    There were rats scurrying in the trees overhead, bird crap everywhere in the little cesspool stank of urine and was unfit for anyliving being.(though I think I saw aa eel!)
    It was creepy and unhygenic, it may have been beautiful 2000 years ago but don't bother with the trip today.

  • Nissi Beach in July and August. It is so crowded with people that you can hardly move. You acn hardly move because the sunbeds are virtually on top of each other.

    If you're in Ayia Napa head to Macronnossis or the harbour beach (in front of the Grecian Bay). They are much quieter in August and the quality of the sea for swimming is much higher.

    See the Turks -roll up roll up ladies and gentlemen see how the non christian people of Cyprus are doing .
    You will be thrilled and excited...........

    No need to peek at them secretly the walls are down now you can walk to turkish side and take a closer look they are no different from any other peoples of the world.
    No need to fall for another tourist trap..

    Turks got an ambargo and Greek side just joined the EU.
    Sometimes you will find poorer side of any country is richer in other things...

    Kerynia is a beautiful place , but occupied by force.
    Avoid eating or staying in Stolen Greek properties.
    Avoid buying any property there...as well

  • The Greeks on south will tell you North Cyprus is an occupied area...Wrong !
    The turkish soldiers are only there to protect the turks living there which Greeks wants to get rid of..

    Anyone can come and go freely..friendly people,lot cheaper then Greek side..

    You can go to South(Greek side) which is very much like,Paris,London or any big prosperous city,we got ambargo so not much
    glamour on north side..

    Tony's Restaurant

  • When you walk outside here and look at the menu, that's all that is needed for Tony to appear (a la Mr Ben) like magic and gentle patter you up to bring you inside. Once inside, getting your bill so you can leave is the real fun part of your evening. Watch out if you get asked if you want to join a quiz, as soon as you say YES, you then get charged 1.00 to take part!!! SOUND AS A POUND may be the phrase he uses, but COOL AND SLICK would be better.

    Enjoy the food as it is good, but make sure you take your time in everything you do and don't go at their pace. When you want to leave, be forceful and don't take “NO” for an answer.

    The Wooden Crest Inn will provide you with good quality food and drink, and at no time are you made to feel rushed or putting anyone out.

    NEVER FALL IN THE TRAP.... TURK'S AND SOME OTHER'S PROPAGANDA IS REALLY STRONG..
    BUT CYPRUS IS ONLY ONE COUNTRY, HALF OCCUPIED BY TURKS... SURE THEY (TURKS) CAN SAY ANYTHING THEY WANT... HISTORY IS THERE THOUGH SPEAKING BY ITSELF.. NO COUNTRY IS CHANGING 'OWNERSHIP' (AS THEY CALL IT) AFTER A WAR..AND THE WAR WAS ONLY IN 1974... I STILL REMEMBER THE BOMBS AND THE BULLETS OVER OUR HEADS... AND SURELY WILL NEVER FORGET THEM...

    Look out when you go out for a drink!
    If you ask something to drink and there is no price on the list, it’s very expensive

  • Just be careful of the taxi drivers. They are not all reputable taking people out of their way and demanding extortionate prices. Fix your price before you even get into the vehicle.

    Be careful with the car hire firms, even the well known companies. Not all of them believe in insuring the cars but they will still take your money. Make sure you have all your documentation with you incase you are stopped by the police.

  • Watch out for the cheap Gold in Beachside tourist shops it turns your neck green! Not to be confused with the superb Gold in the mountain villages some very good bargains to be had here.
