Christmas is coming and soon the television will be full of summer holiday adverts!
Ready to make your holiday booking, fancy Cyprus this year but not sure where to start?
You can't go far wrong if you read the Hotel Reviews first!
Having worked for many years in UK Tour Operations, I've experienced first hand many holiday complaints & disappointments from angry holidaymakers. Don't make the same mistake - follow my rule: research, read and relax....
And - if you're still not entirely certain. Ask the travel agent if any of the staff have visited your favoured holiday location.
Most tour operators offer travel agent incentives to sell their holidays by taking them on "educational" visits. These usually entail a week of travelling between resorts, staying in 2 or 3 different hotels, taking part in organised excursions and generally becoming a holidaymaker for a few days whilst gaining an insight into the destination.
Above all, make sure you get it right! Otherwise it could be the most expensive and memorable experience of all - for all the wrong reasons!

We now have available the latest rock sample collection from the famous Troodos Ophiolite sequence.
Sadly, the collection is now down from 16 to 15 samples as one item is becoming scarce and the goverment have issued a notice to stop harvesting for a while.
You will find geological survey maps, guide books on Troodos mountain range, geology book by Ron Dutton (slips easily into a pocket) and the Ophiolite sample collection all available in our shop soon.
Meanwhile, I have some images taken from a day up Troodos - following the Chrome Mine trail
I have this website on my Facebook page but after reading their article as publshed below, I thought the website Cyprus Voice For Animals truly deserved a link and a mention.
Please read the article below and visit their website. The website is new so still quite basic, however you can make donations to help with the funding and there's also a link to a page on how and where to report Animal Cruelty in Cyprus.
CVA article:
We would like to announce to all citizens and foreign visitors to Cyprus that their visit to our beautiful island will be marred by the sad sight of so many unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats. Although local authorities are legally responsible to capture and accommodate stray dogs in suitable pounds, they refuse to do it and are therefore in violation of the law. Apart from one or two Cyprus Animal Welfare Societies that can offer pick up services, the rest of them, due to severe staff and money shortage cannot offer such a demanding service.
If you want to have a reply returned to you from Cyprus or if you intend to send any mail whilst you are on holiday, you should remember that all post sent out of Cyprus must include the obligatory Refugee Fund Tax stamp.
The current value of this stamp is €0,02c.
Postage stamps in 2009 are available in the following denominations:
