Merv on sunny Coral Beach, Pafos - Cyprus

Ela! Pos ise?

Cyprus has been one of my favourite places. I was here just before summer 2001 and we spent a week here visiting the dfferent towns and swopping accomodation every night. I was really lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky because the trip was sponsored by the Cyprus Tourism which meant we got top end hotels throughout our entire stay. Hehehe!!!
Being situated as a gateway to three continents, the island has brilliant accessibility to Europe, Middle East and Africa. Surprisingly, there are only about 600,000 people living on the island who generates the country's strong economy and of course, not forgetting us tourists who flock to the island's beaches in the millions every year.
One third of the island has been occupied by the Turks since 1974 and in the past Greeks were not allowed to cross the border at all, of course, this has all been change since Turkey is desperately trying to join the EU. Lol!
