We flew from Volgograd with the tour operator Biblio-Globus, carrier Transaero (THANK YOU for the service, food and friendly staff!!!! )
About the tour operator: We are used to the fact that on the bus on the way to the hotel they talk about the country, traditions, features, but alas....Except for the bus driver, there were no representations from the tour operator. We were taken to the hotel and shown the way to the reception. The time was about 12 noon, and immediately almost the entire company was settled . . The next day, we were met by friendly Irina Mironova (representative from BG), there were a lot of us and we sat on the sofa for convenience, but she considered that she was uncomfortable there, although we provided her with both a seat and a table, and yelled at us from another angle. She told us about the "right hand" rule, that everything in Limassol is on the right. When she realized that we were not going to take excursions, her courtesy disappeared. She answered any question with a malicious smile: "I told you everything, the rule of the right hand. " To her joy, at least they bought tickets to the water park (super) from her, it’s cheaper for EURO....
About the hotel: Oh, believe me, there is something to compare with from a set of 3-room hotels in Italy, Spain, Greece. The hotel is in a terrible state, if your height is more than 1.90, then it will be difficult to move along the first floor, the ceiling is very low (besides, it is very dirty and streaked). The rooms that are located above the reception are in a terrible state, shabby, the tiles are killed, the furniture, where the film has come off "shpondorena" with a stapler. There are a lot of tourists' hair on the carpet, some of ours had hair in the bathroom on the drain from previous guests, liquid soap near the sink and bath in the boxes. The towels are smelly and gray, they are clean, but... they did not have time to wash and dry them, the servants were forbidden to change towels often, there were not enough of them for everyone, they lifted the wet ones from the floor and neatly folded them on the shelves. We were lucky, we lived on the lower floor, we changed both the towel and the bed every day. As my friend said: "Everything is envy of Aunt Tosya" who cleans. The rooms where the lianas are better, but in many rooms there were floor air conditioners, from which the pipe went out to the balcony. Therefore, either the door is closed and the air conditioner does not work, or you live in a cool place but with the door open. In short, I can tell you a lot more about the hotel... Choose your hotel more carefully, it's better to overpay a little, read the reviews . .

Meals: In general, Mr. , but if you dig, you will find something. Do not take "all inclusive", there is nothing for lunch. Dear compatriots: when will you learn to take not so much as you grabbed, but as much as you eat. There are very few fruits, 1.2 species. For breakfast, you could eat oatmeal, local yogurt, ham, boiled egg, cheese... the rest is inedible. You can change dinner for lunch. Nearby there is a restaurant with a sign of a portrait of a horse (to the left to go from the hotel), tasty, plentiful, acceptable, but check the bill. Yes, in general, check the check everywhere, ours are being fooled. And so many cafes, for every budget and taste.
Beach: The hotel does not provide beach towels. Across the road from the hotel, clean, 2 sunbeds, a stool and an umbrella 7.5 euros. On the beach, a hairy dude is responsible for the sun loungers, you can buy excursions from him, it will be cheaper for a big company, we drove a hamer limousine. Tour guide Dima, THANK YOU everything was super: 70 euros from the nose, children for free, 1 liter of whiskey, 2 moonshine, 2 wines, juices, water for free and a bonus for two days of sun loungers and umbrellas for free. Just plan your itinerary in advance. The beach is sandy, gray sand, the sea is warm and clean.
About Cyprus: We are used to traveling in other countries on our own, we rented a car and went ahead, but there is left-hand traffic here and we were afraid. We went to the old city, I don’t know what kind of beauty the tourists describe there, I didn’t notice it, the beauty is in Barcelona, ​ ​ Rome. The bus goes past the hotel, the fare is 1.5 euros per adult, and there is also a children's ticket, not all drivers offer it.
Shopping: it is, for every taste and budget. There are chains and brands (find out exactly where the boutiques are, we saw them when we were already leaving the city, approximately somewhere between the stop "old town" and "debenhams"
Souvenirs: Buy butter in supermarkets for 5-6 euros, but I don’t recommend taking local alcohol so as not to overpay for excess, because moonshine "Zivanya", "Kumandarya", wine, cost the same in alcohol stores as in duty free in Paphos. About white wine, if you don’t want to stumble upon sourness, take Saint Pantelemon wine, it’s really tasty and costs 3.30 euros in the supermarket, 5-6 euros in wine stores, and 4.7 euros in dutik. And so go everywhere and ask the price.

Recreation: A lot of restaurants, discos, pretentious and not very clubs. For young people, go to the club, if you go towards the city, you will see a three-story building with an open mouth of a clown on the left. There's a 24/7 party there. Be sure to go to the Ocean Basket restaurant, bus stop at the Crusader Hotel, and walk a little back. lovers of fish and seafood will come off, there is also sushi.
About CYPRUS: I didn’t understand it, probably this is a country about which I will put a tick in my geographical atlas, but I will not return there.
