That was easier to understand. The more we saw of this island, the more we realized that Cyprus has something for everyone. Shopping was good here too. Leather is also good value here. You may not get the latest Paris fashion in shoes, but they will be well made from beautiful soft leather, and be offered at bargain prices.
Hotels run the gamut from large and luxurious to small, local pensions.
There are also a vast number of self-catering apartments from which to choose, and the young and more adventurous will find a wide choice in camping sites with all facilities. Best time to go The summer tourist season of July and August is very hot and dry, so if you are not fussy about sizzling on a beach or around a hotel pool, go in the European spring and autumn. Even in January when we were there, the sun sparkled off the Mediterranean and it was hot enough for us to need hats when we explored the amphitheater and other ruins. When visiting churches and monasteries, avoid wearing shorts, backless tops and very short dresses. As well as small-group tours, Amelia Tours can also arrange excellent independent travel for the intending Cyprus visitor.
