Where to go in Cyprus..?

try paphos or protaras

Limassol

go to the troodos mountains, and stay in kakopetria, and visit other villages, like prodromos, alona, etc

Well, I think I would suggest Protaras. Everything you want or need in one place! Good selection of hotels are all based along the shoreline of soft, sandy beaches, and all are within easy reach of a good selection af shops, bars and restaurants ( Try, The Olympus, Cafe Parko, Il Basilica, ) From here, you're just a short drive/bus trip./taxi away from the lovely secluded cove of Konnos Bay, and just a little further on is Agia Napa. And, no, don't be put off, its not all clubs, lager louts and booze cruises! Theres a good selection of bars and restaurants ( Try Tonys Taverna, the Limelight, The Avenue, Romeos, and, down in the harbour; Vassoss Fish Restaurant) some great beaches too, but a little more commercialised than Protaras, but nice beaches all the same; Liminaki, Nisi, Adams, Lantra and Makronissoss....and Napa has Europes largest water park too. Take a boat trip from the harbour, along the coastline, taking in The Seacaves, Cavo Greko, Konnos Bay, Protaras, Pernera, and Kaparris, eventually turning around for the return journey as you reach the ghost town of Famagusta. The boat usually stops a coiuple of times so that passengers can swim fro the boat. A great day out, and all for just a few Euros. Make sure you take a trip into Larnaka, where there is plenty of shops and restaurants ( though the beaches aren't great here!) And take a trip to Lefkosia ( Nicosia). The checkpoint at the border in Ledras Street was opened up last year, so that you can now walk across to the Turkish occupied North ( you will need your passport if you decide to do this) Also, its worth a walk around the old part of Lefkosia wjere there are plenty of cosy little tavernas, all offering delicious food. Take a safari up to the Troodos Mountains too....some great views from upi there! Also....if you get a chance to fit it all in......go to Paphos, where you can visit Aphrodites rock, Aphrodites Birthplace, The House of Dionysus ( mosaics ) down in the harbour, along with the fort, and also take a look at the Tombs of The Kings. again, a good selection of restaurants etc in the harbour. The only place I wouldn't really recommend is Lemesos ( Limassol). It can get very busy...and very crowded. There is so much on offer here, I don't think you would be disappointed wherever you choose to stay, but I really think Protaras is the place for you. I live in Xylofagou, about 8K from Agia Napa.

Hi For the past 20 years i have travelled to Cyprus, i have stayed in Paphos, Limmasol, and Protaras, For the past 17 years i have stayed in Protaras that is my favourite, Protaras is one long street that has bars restaurants shops, also there is Pernera Area of Protaras which is quieter than Protaras this is where i stay, i found last year that Cyprus since joining the euro seemed to have gone expensive, BUT if you shop around you can get some fantastic deals, cheap food and drinks. I always hire a car when we are over there as they drive on the same side of the road as in UK, Larnaca is fantastic for shopping. I have Cypriot friends that live in Xylofagou, and Pedulas and i love seeing them every year, the people are lovely, I took Euro Travellers cheques last year for 100 euros travellers cheque we got 97 euros back they don't charge commission only for the postage, if you would like any further details email me, if i know of the hotel you are looking at booking i will tell you where it is and what it's like. I will be in Cyprus 5 th August.

im in my 20s, and in my mid teens i went to protaras with my family for 3 years in a row, there's some great restaurants, blue flag beaches, chilled out bars, its nowhere near as manic as ayia napa but its not too far away if you want to try a night out there. we stayed in sunrise beach hotel- 5* but well worth the money, relaxing and really good quality. the ayia napa waterpark isnt far, but there are plenty of things to do in protaras itself.

Protaras absolutely excellent, very cosmopolitan, quiet but still plenty to do. Troodros mountains absolutely gorgeous, tiny little villages hidden away, brill for trip out but not to stay, too far from anywhere. Paralimni very very quite, 15mins from protaras. Agia napa, crap, full of bimbos and dental floss up their bums. Cyprus best holiday place ever.Been 8 times! perhaps need a change. Crete fab too. If just two of you, direct holidays absolutely brill at giving cheap bargains. never ever paid more that 800 total for two of us for two weeks. have brill hol !!

try protaras then..there are some really nice hotels on the beachfront,there are lots of bars and restaurants there,touristy but not overly busy,especially outwith the months of july and august. It's about 10mins away from ayia napa if u guys fancy giving it a look too..trust me,ayia napa gets a bad deal...it's not all drunken teenagers,the main square is set away from the lovely harbour area which is quieter. Paphos is more for the ''older'' traveller. Limassol ..i am sure u will find boring,there is not a lot to do there..

North (Turkish) Cyprus is cheaper than southern (Greek) Cyprus. The Greek side is very British like with familiar shops (M & S, Debenhams etc.). If you want adventure and something different go north otherwise Larnaca isn't full of screaming teens.
