Hi there
Can anyone give me the rough cost to visiting Cyprus? When I was there about 20 years about things were really cheap (no tax to pay!) ie a large bottle of anglias brandy was cy£4, 20 cigs 50cents. a meal out was about cy£5 per head!. - thats what i call a cheap night out lol
Have things changed a lot?
I spoke to a friend who lives there and he said a can of coke is 78 euro cents now
I think we'll have to wait for some first hand experience from peeps on the boards who visit in the next few months to see what's happened price wise.
78 cents, that works out about 50p doesn't it. I think that's a reasonable price considering I paid £1.25 at a local market at Christmas. Shocking.
Not too much has changed in the first week with the €, other than the confusion of it all in the beginning. There was an article published on the front page of the online Cyprus newspaper, which you may find interesting to read below. It was published on Saturday 5th January:

Mis-chief I never have paid that for cans of pop, but I will find out the real cost's, it is not that high though, your friend must have used a kiosk, always places to avoid regarding higher pricing we have found.
Jimbox it wasn't a kiosk apparently but a small supermarket in Ayia Napa.......which I suppose is the "real cost" to holidaymakers in the summer in central Napa, kiosk or not
Ok we live nowhere near A Nap of course but just checked with the boss and she pays 25cents (old money) for one can of Diet Coke, so something was out of order with that charge...we pay £2.00cyp for eight can pack at a supermarket very close to us, that was only last week. No doubt prices may rise with the €..but hey the sun is shinning...nice weather at the moment..
