• Rested in the hotel Cyprus, Paphos, Dionysos Central Hotel, 3*
The tour was for 4 nights from 23 to 27 October 2016. Departure October 23.2016 from Vnukovo (Moscow) at 3.30 to Larnaca (Cyprus).
The airport was half empty. Aeroexpress left at 23.00 from the Kievsky railway station to Vnukovo.
I checked in for a flight via the Internet at home 23 hours before departure on the Rossiya airline website. The plane was two-thirds full. Many went to bed at the end of the saloon on three seats. I also managed to sleep for 1.5 hours. At 7.10 in Larnaca I met the guide Victor from the "Biblio Globus". He told everything to the point, without unnecessary words. There were 10 people on the bus. Therefore, we quickly reached the city of Paphos.

Meals were breakfast + lunch + dinner. I arrived at the hotel before 10 am, breakfast was still on. Russian girls work at the reception, who were brought by their parents to Cyprus as a child. They speak three languages ​ ​ - Russian, Greek and English. I was not allowed to have breakfast, or rather allowed for 8 euros. I refused. The suitcase was standing in the hall, I changed clothes and went to the Papa Antonio supermarket, left the hotel, past the fountain in the cafe, right along the street where buses run, and right again into the first lane, go straight, there will be a low-rise dark unfinished building on the right , take to the left, then to the right and on the left side stands "Papa Antonio". In the sausage department, the Greek seller spoke Russian very well.
I bought sausages and bread, bottled water and went to the beach. The sandy beach is located behind the hotel "Alexander... ". The sea was amazing, the weather was beautiful, the air temperature was plus 27 Celsius.
At 12.30 I returned to the hotel for lunch (lunch from 12.30 to 14.00). I was given a key card for room 505 (check-in at the hotel from 12.00), I brought my things into the room.
Accommodation.
The room was large enough with a double bed. The air conditioner was on, the bathroom was closed with an opaque door. What I really liked was that everything was painted white. There were four large white towels and one smaller one. Attached to the wall are two containers with liquid soap dispensers above the tub and sink. The balcony is large - there were a white table and two plastic chairs. There were no ropes, I attached a rope from a bandage to dry my swimsuits. Balcony door - soundproof, wooden shutters on the outside made of horizontal slats with slots.
Nutrition.
Breakfast - every day - fried eggs, four types of muesli, milk for them, pancakes, tartlets - for them chocolate chips, ground nuts and powdered sugar. There was a toaster - at the entrance, two white bread toasts were put on the grate, and they left themselves in the toaster, then the fried ones left. Tomatoes and cucumbers changed in pieces every other day. Olives of two types. Rustic potatoes. Rice with vegetables. Sausages of two types. Fried pork bacon. Three types of sausages. Butter in single packs. Cheese of two types. You can eat indoors and outdoors in the yard. The yogurt was thick and delicious. Hot vegetables. Lettuce salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet onions, with cheese, olives and capers. Dessert - cakes, delicious soufflé s. The machine dispensed about 10 drinks. Coffee - americano, cappuccino, etc. Chocolate. Tea in a samovar. Juices of three types in a separate machine. Coffee is very high quality. Fruits - slices of apples, kiwi, bananas. Oranges cut into four pieces.

Lunch - soup - pureed tomato, cabbage, potato. On the second - pork, fish fillet every day. Salads of several types of vegetables. Garnish - hot vegetables, rustic potatoes, rice. No drinks were provided for dinner. There were fruits and again desserts - cakes, mousses. There was always a meat dish in a large piece or a chicken on a heated surface on a counter, where a kitchen worker solemnly cut off a large piece and put it on a plate. Clean plates were always warmed up when they stood in a pile before the rest took them in hand to put food.
Dinner - again soup-puree. On the second - chicken, pork, beef in batter, beef cutlets. An innumerable number of salads in the salad bar of raw and boiled vegetables. There are several types of side dishes for meat and fish dishes. There were two halls - with hot dishes and salads. For dessert - cakes, mousses, fruits. There were no drinks at lunchtime.
There have always been several types of sauces, the names are not known.
I had a boiler, a 300 ml hexagonal glass jar from Moscow. I boiled water and drank tea. But you need to ask the reception for an adapter for an outlet, since in Cyprus the plugs have three pins. Is free. The TV remote is also free. I didn’t take the remote control from the air conditioner, I don’t know for a deposit or for free.
Conclusion: if you put one spoon of each type of food on a plate, then there will be a lot, it is impossible to eat everything.
Beach and sea.
The shortest way to the beach was through the cafe "Royal" from the hotel. If you face the sea, then you need to go left along the coast to the hotel "Alexander... " and behind it there will be a sandy beach. There is a toilet on the beach, in the toilet there are cabins with a shower. Outdoor showers and faucets with water for washing feet. Is free. There were no sun loungers on the sand in front of the blue rescue booth, everyone was sunbathing on towels. The entrance from the sea is good, a little bit of pebbles along the coastline in the water. But there were places where there were no stones at the entrance. Depending on the behavior of the sea, the entrance to the water was formed. The air temperature was 27 degrees Celsius, the water in the sea is warm. The depth is small. Great place. A road of asphalt and other hard surfaces has been laid along the coast. All beaches are municipal.
Entertainment.

There was no animation in the hotel. I had the cheapest number. At six in the evening, music began to rumble in a dance bar two hundred meters away. So it wasn't boring. Music rumbled until 2 - 2.30 am. Some vacationers suffered. Others paid extra $12-$16 for quieter rooms. I always travel with ear plugs. At night, she closed the shutters on a hook, the door to the balcony, curtained the windows, inserted earplugs into her ears. If there was percussion music, it was heard through earplugs. But I slept better than at home. At night, I turned on the air conditioner for a few minutes and it cooled the air in the room. Such rooms are not suitable for children. There were many elderly people from England. In our building I met only two old boletus men from England. Other Englishmen lived in another building of the hotel, further from the dancing bar.
The flight was not rescheduled. The bus came to Larnaca airport on time. What was bad was that they combined two flights, and we drove to the airport for a long time (2.5 hours), as we stopped in Limassol for passengers. We arrived two hours before departure. Some had to issue a VAT refund on purchases. I don’t know if we had time. Representatives of the Biblio Globus tour operator stood at the check-in desk, controlled the registration process. There is a smoking room at the airport. Departed on time, the flight both there and back went on time and well.
General conclusion.
The hotel is decent. Friendly attitude towards the Russians. By the way, on the beach, the Russians, a married couple Vasily and Elena from Murmansk, complained about the discriminatory attitude towards Russians at the Aloe Hotel by the managers during dinner, who were not happy that they did not order alcohol. Moreover, they expressed dissatisfaction that the couple did not speak English.
Wonderful girls Julia, Nadia, Elena worked in our hotel. In the restaurant, only with a smile, the wait staff approached the table. A pleasant woman, Lyudmila, also works in the kitchen.
The only negative is the noise from the dance bar at night until 2-2.30. At least until 12 he worked, there were no complaints. But this is Cyprus - an island with 24/7 nightlife. Wifi without a password was perfect in the hotel, on the beach there is also good wifi behind the Alexander Hotel.
Thanks to Biblio Globus and Travelata for a good ride at a reasonable price.
