By Kevin Moore After working hard all year, most people look forward to a couple of weeks in the sun or the chance to visit some places of interest. Many of these lucky tourists will be visiting the beautiful Mediterranean Island paradise of Cyprus. Here is some travel information and useful tips from folks who have been there and done that. Often, people book holidays through a travel agent, relying on him or her to get everything right. They do this without knowing anything about the resort they are going to or where their accommodation is in relation to the resort center. Cyprus travel information can therefore be invaluable, especially if you are visiting the Island for the first time. More and more visitors to Cyprus are booking separate flights, accommodation, and even arranging their own airport transfers. The growth in online booking over the Internet gives travelers access to instant price comparisons for everything needed to build their own holiday package. Cyprus flights can be booked through charter companies or even by using the growing number of scheduled operators. In fact, it often pays to book direct with the airline and cut out the middleman or booking agent. Flying to Cyprus has never been easier, with flights leaving most of the major U.K. airports two to three times every week. If you are prepared to travel a few extra miles to your departure airport, you can make great savings on your flight to Cyprus. There are two major Cyprus airports. Choosing the wrong one could add at least a couple of hours to your transfer time, so be sure to get it right. Paphos Airport serves the west coast, making it ideal for transfers to Paphos itself, Limassol, and the capital Nicosia. The smaller resorts of Polis and Pissouri are also located on this side of Southern Cyprus, so if you are headed there, be sure to fly into Paphos. Larnaca Airport is on the east coast of the Island just outside the resort town of Larnaca itself. From there, you will gain easy access to all the resorts and towns right up to Protaras using the modern coastal motorway. Agia Napa, Pernera, and Kapparis are all less than an hour's drive from Larnaca Airport, which is great news after a five-hour flight. Ask anyone for Cyprus travel information, and he or she will usually advise you to hire a car. It is the best way to get around the Island unless you want the added expense of taxis. There are buses, but they are not very useful unless you are on the main road; they only run between the main towns. You can kill two birds with one stone however, if you pre-book your Cyprus car rental on line and collect it at the airport. The average taxi fare works out to about CYP 30.00 each way, so that is an instant saving of CYP 60.00 if you return the car to the airport at the end of your holiday. It is also advisable to use a company that has cars at the airport rather than the agents who offer to pick you up and drop you off. Even though their fee is all in the total price, you are at their mercy when it is time to leave for the airport. This is not so good if you arrive at the check-in just after the coaches unload and spend an hour queuing. Another useful tidbit of Cyprus travel information concerns the business of hire cars and some of the common mistakes holiday makers tend to make. Cyprus is hot! You would be surprised at how many people forget to specify air conditioning when they book their car hire online. They set off from the airport towards their accommodation, realize just how hot it is, and start feverishly stabbing at all the buttons on the dashboard. Meanwhile, the inside of the car is beginning to resemble a mobile sauna. Ah well, at least the windows all wind down to let in plenty of that hot Cyprus air, and you can always park in the shade. Those trendy jeeps and cabriolets look great, but you will not look so good when the sun has burnt your scalp off. Choose air con and drop the hood in the evenings. That way you get the best of both worlds. Enjoy your holidays, and we hope you are able to make good use of this Cyprus travel information.
