Cyprus, the island at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, is a great place to spend a holiday. The hospitality of the Cypriot people is famed - here, we take a look at what you could expect to find on a trip to Cyprus.
Landing at Larnaca International Airport for the first time, you may find that the very first thing that strikes you is the warmth of the sun on this island jewel. Cyprus has a warm climate and you're sure to find that its people have great warmth too.
The island has been through a lot of political change in the past 40 years. Now, with tourism on the island getting back to normal, the people here are delighted to welcome overseas visitors to their country.
Life on Cyprus can best be described as relaxed. When you watch the locals socialising in bars and restaurants that are dotted throughout the island, you are immediately strucky by their carefree, happy attitude to much that life throws at them. You can't help but find yourself drawn into the warm atmosphere of the tavernas - filled with music, conversation and laughter.
Cypriot people enjoy making people feel welcome on their island and are also often very keen to chat to visitors. They enjoy hearing about other parts of the world and are also happy to discuss their own lives and the changes that have taken place over the years.
The tourism trade has flourished so greatly in recent years that you'll find that many people on Cyprus speak English, paving the way for many conversations.
When you talk to Cypriots you find out about what life is really like on the idyllic island - it's about much more than sun, hotels and beaches that are shown in holiday brochures!
Come to Cyprus - you'll be warmly welcomed.
How do you decide how much to spend on games?
For many of us, video games are seen as an essential source of entertainment. Just as we are happy to go to the cinema, to buy a CD, or to buy a DVD, so we see gaming as an experience that helps us to enjoy ourselves.When you know that you play too many video games
I must declare that I'm an avid gamer, but there have been times in life when I've realised that I've been spending a little too much time playing games. Have you ever had any incidents that indicate that you may have problems of a similar nature?Include a diving experience within your travel plans
One of the best aspects of travelling is that there's a real ability to define travel plans that meet your own, individual needs. I love hearing other people talking about the different places that they have visited, even if some locations don't really appeal to me.
