Morning maga!

Right opposite the Andreotis apts is the bar i was just on about - Carlsberg for 90cents a pint. While we were there last year, it was called the Cinnamon Bar (unusual name

).
If you turn right as you come out of the Andreotis, away from the "strip", there is another bar further up the road, across the road. I think someone on here said it was called the "Irresistable Bar". Tell Fi Fi, a nice young Cypriot man works there

We stayed at the Maouris apts last year, which are on the opposite side of the road to the Andreotis apts. Okay, but very basic.

Tell me all about the apts when you arrive back maga, Fi Fi wont you? Cheers love!

hi mabs,
plenty of shops in nicosia, boutiques, high street shops like next, m&s, (but smaller than ours) parking was reasonable also, cant remember how much we paid but remember it was cheap compared to what you pay here in the uk. Also larnica has some nice shops. Hired a car for five days to see the sights kids and hubbys moaned when we went shopping though, (went on hol with friend and her family) told us we could only shop 1 day that was why they took us to nicosia also to see the sights but when we went to larnica we looked at the shops there also.
enjoy shopping.

hi mabs,
we hired the car when we were in cyprus, dont know wether it would have been cheaper to have arranged it in the uk. We paid 120 CP plus fuel from champion rental car ltd for toyota corolla for 5 days.

Cost of hiring sunloungers/brollys?

Hi, I keep thinking of new questions now I've found this site! Does anyone know how much I'll be having to pay to hire loungers and a brolly at the beach in Protaras? Thanks, Claire.

Coral Bay Pafos cost's (last season) £2 for a lounger and 50cents for an umbrella £2.50cents or £4.50 for two, the same on many beaches at this end...not that I use them much, I hate sand..

Thanks for that. I suppose its not too expensive but still all mounts up if you hire 2 loungers and a brolly for 13 days! Think of all the ice-creams I could eat for CYP58.50 worth!!

Buy a cheap brolly for about a CYP£5 and use that instead

I personally think that it is a bit more expensive to get to cyprus with your flight and accomodation, but it is cheaper to eat & drink than menorca.

cost of living

Hi, we stayed at the Elamaris a couple of years ago and found it pretty good. There are quite a lot of restaurants round about, we didn't have any bad meals apart from Windmills next door The set menus can be good value for 3 courses, and the house wine is usually quite good. I should think that an evening meal for the 3 of you would be about CYP 30 if you don't go too mad. Our favourite restaurants were the Steak and Ale House and the Cordon Blue (which has just been rebuilt following a fire last October) Beer is always dearer in the hotels, but ranges from CYP 1 to about CYP 2 in the bars. There is a Mexican restaurant in Ayia Napa called Los Bandidos that is good fun for a change and a Japanese where they entertain you while they are cooking.

A bottle of house wine in a restaurant is about CYP 7, but you can get a litre carton for under CYP 1!

last year in the elamaris the beer was 1.95cyp and to be honest a bit hit and miss the bars tended to be @1.60 cyp as for food if you stick to 2 courses 10-15 cyp per person would cover you and that includes steak, you can of course pay more at the posher places but there are some cracking restaurants in pernera, if i can be of any more help please ask
