Has anyone here been to Cyprus?

Question

If you have, what did you think of it?

Answer 1

been to Protaras which is touristy..but really nice.  & went to Paphos in September...& that is now very expensive.

also watch out for the cafe/restuarant bills...they nearly all have a service charge included..which is hard to spot in the small print on the menu...so if you dont spot it & you tip as well.....that is costing you a lot of money without you realising it.  lovely place though!

Answer 2

Not so far, but I would love to visit.

Answer 3

Yes, I lived there for three years when I was a youngster and I have taken many holidays since.  Having first gone there in the 1950's I have seen many changes in the island, but it is still one of the most beautiful places on this earth, with (mostly) very friendly people and some wonderful history.

My favourite poem....

Love hath an island,

And I would be there;

Love hath an island,

And nurtureth there

For men the Delights

The beguilers of care,

Cyprus, Loves island;

And I would be there.

At Paphos she dwelleth

And I would be there.

At Paphos she dwelleth,

And wealth cometh there.

Afloat with the kisses

That ocean doth bear

From the hundred streams

Like a shower unfurled

Of the Rainless River

Born out of the world;

There are the hillsides

On Earth most fair,

Pierian hillsides

And melody there,

The voice of the Nine,

Is borne on the air

Over the hillsides,

And I would be there –

Olympian hillsides,

For Heaven is there

With spirits divine

And shining of fire;

And there are the Graces,

And there is Desire.

Eurpides
