What would you recommend?
We love going to the Troudos mountains. I haven't done an organised trip there as we hired a car. I liked that as we stopped at several small villages in the mountains. Sometimes we felt that we had stepped back into the past and we were the only tourists in sight. Once you get to the top of the mountains you will feel chilly even if it is baking hot in your resort. So take a light jumper or jacket with you.
We had a Daily Deals website in Cyprus (you can google DailyDealsCY and you will find it) or for those a bit more adventurous and not averse to dealing with foreign language websites (which will translate automatically to EN if you use the Chrome browser) try Skroutz.com.cy and take a look at some of the regular accommodation deals they offer for the inland villages.
Last May we stayed here for 1 night for 48 EUR for 2 people on B+B basis http://www.ambelikos.com and at the moment I'm trying to sort dates out to stay at this hotel http://www.linosinn.com (the cost even cheaper at 39 EUR per couple for 1 night). The 2nd hotel gets mixed reviews on it's restaurant feedback but we would always go outside of the hotel to eat when we go to the villages, it's much more fun.
That first hotel you stayed at- it just looks gorgeous
One of the young girls taking part in the live TV show which was being recorded directly from the festival agreed to having her photo took when I told her we would post it on facebook:
I did a blog post about our stay with some photos of the hotel here: http://wp.me/p1uja5-1Uz and I have some more photos of our weekend in Potamatissa on my Flickr account here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cypruspictures/sets/72157633708426746
This was our room (Room 9)
The owner of the hotel was chasing a snake away as we were heading out for lunch on the day of our arrival!
We did an organised trip around all the popular locations, Aphrodite's Rock etc. the commentary by the guide was brilliant. So interesting it was like listening to lots of little stories. I loved it
The new Limassol Marina opened in the middle of last week and we managed to make our way down there on Sunday.
