nufc4ever 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Thinking of booking a holiday with the missus for July to Protaras in Cyprus. We're 24 and 21 but not particularly looking for crazy nightlife, just a good selection of restaurants and things to do. It's not a piss-up holiday, just for relaxing. She's found it, i'm paying. Anyone been? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've only been to the other end but the lass's Mam and Dad go to Protaras a lot. Apparently it has a lovely beach and it's next Ayia Napa if you fancy a livlier night. Watch out for the squaddies though. It'll be absolutely boiling in July mind.

Never been but that will be correct. I experienced the wierd sensation of being hot in the swimming pool in the Algarve last year - it was 40C. Makes sure you get a/c.

nufc4ever 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Aye, the place she's seen has aircon. It's the first thing I look for in Greece, been a couple of places there in the past without and it was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) I like Greece but the contrast between the nice places and the Brit-hooligan resorts is stark to say the least. From what I've heard and from my experience Cyprus is like Greece but the accommodation tends to be a bit more upmarket, usually with a/c. I would say that it's too hot through the day for my there in July though. And I quite like the currant bun. Edited March 7, 2007 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 I don't mind the sun, but it's normally a relief for me coming back to the cool weather at home when I go in the summer. Might have to re-assess the dates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoggeordie 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Book Limassol mate, smack bang in the middle, lovely coast, great shops, not too busy, decent things to doo on a night and less than an hour away from Ayia Napa and all other main places on the island. Dream holiday location for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would like and more infomation just ask and i'll do my best to answer. I went a few year ago. I'd rather put a needle that has been dipped in acid down my japs eye whilst having my eye ripped out of it's socket with a cork-screw. Wasn't the worst holiday I've had though.
