 Steeped in history with beautiful scenery and beaches, Cyprus is a holiday destination with something for everyone. The island’s 800km coastline offers a wide variety of amazing beaches, delightful rocky inlets and secluded, sandy coves. Cyprus's best beaches are found on the east coast around Ayia Napa and Protaras, while fine beaches in the Paphos area are at Coral Bay and on the Akamas peninsula. There are plenty of watersports on offer at the beaches in Ayia Napa and Protaras and the rocky coves of the Cape Greco peninsula are excellent for scuba diving. Shopping and nightlife are great - there's even an M&S to make you feel at home. In all a great Island full of friendly people and some really great cost-effective hotels.

 Free child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare. If your family includes infants then excluded them in the search (i.e. don't class them as a child) but do call us before booking so that we can ensure that a cot is available. Not sure! then play safe and give us a call as you'll find us very family friendly. Read more.... |
