blonde poker forum

We are looking to go on holiday to Cyrpus next year in June or July.
Can anyone recomend the best parts to stay in?
We are looking for a 4 bed villa (sleeps 8), not to balla!
A friend has recommended an area called Coral Bay (i think).

Any advice much appreciated.


Cheers

Coral Bay is excellent and there are plenty of big villas there. It's relatively quiet compared to the party resorts. Plenty of good restaurants nearby and a really good beach (which is very busy!). Visit the 'Payia Tavern' for excellent traditional Cypriot food and 'The Last Castle' for a great BBQ in a stunning setting.

Go to the North and I'll nosebutt you at the next blonde bash.

Edit: Will post a helpful answer when I get home. Leaving work now.

Used to live just outside coral bay, its pretty nice and minimal English louts so that's gotta be good.

Sorry to derail thread..

But why do English people go on sumer holidays?

June/July/August are usually the only tolerable months weather wise in our country and yet everyone seems to want to scuttle off to somewhere even hotter to get suburned and stung by loads of insects.

December/January/Feb holidays ftw

Err school holidays!

My daughter is on final year at school and exams finish in June, last year we went to feurteventura in February and it was a greta time to get away.

Ok point taken.

But why traditionally are the long school holidays in summer?

It would save money for schools and be alot safer for kids to be off for 6 weeks in the winter and maybe have a 2 week break in July or August.

I'm gonna guess at something like the heat probably, would be interesting to find out the answer though.

"Ms Sodha told BBC Radio 5 Live that the current structure of the school year was a relic from the time when children were needed to help out on family farms during the summer fruit-picking season."

Aiya napa ;-)

This. Always do this unless there is a specifc reason why I can't, usually alot cheaper as well.

Am with Keith on this one, would try to avoid going on holiday in the summer as its nicer here in the summer than nearly all the destinations avaliable!

When school holidays were first introduced, nobody went abroad pretty much. So everyone holidayed in this country when the weather was good.

Wouldn't save money to have school hols in the winter, if that happened, the holiday companies would have expensive hols then! 

I was thinking about going away during this half term, nothing flash, week in Spain or something, but at around £400 each, I can't afford it.  2 weeks either side of the hols, I'm only looking at £100ish  for the same holiday.

Crazy bad no happy time

Yep.  They stuff families every year based on school holidays.  Which is why ours (and many others around here) miss the odd week of school at some point during the year.
