Are you thinking of a solo holiday to Cyprus this summer? Read all about Sales Assistant Lydia’s top recommendations to truly soak up this amazing country…
“Summer of ’99 was spent lounging on the beach and taking short paddles with the fish to cool down.
From three years old, Cyprus became a second home for me, with my first memories being on those beautiful beaches and many more that came after.
My personal favourite is the clear waters, sitting on the loungers with an iced coffee in hand – taking in the views and watching the locals wind down after finishing work early to make the most of sunshine. This is an island that takes relaxation seriously.”
Here are my top 5 recommendations to really soak it all up:
-
Take a paddle and let the tropical fish swim around your feet at Nissi Beach.
-
Take a short trip to Konnos bay where you can spend the day like a local. This beach is the local’s sacred place, in Cyprus they work hard, and relax harder. Grab a lounger, a drink from the café up the hill, and if you’re feeling adventurous, book some water sports for some added adrenaline.
-
Take a trip to Famagusta and view the Ghost town where you can experience the history of the Greek and Turkish Ceasefire.
-
Take a trip up the mountains to Troodos, to experience a traditional Cypriot village, with ladies sat outside their front doors embroidering tablecloths and hand-making jewellery.
-
You can’t go wrong with taking a boat trip, with a glass of wine in hand and dive into the clear waters with swim points across the coast.
