Do It Yourself

Cyprus is the island where east meets west bathed in glorious sunshine. Championship standard golf courses, inviting beaches and breathtaking scenery make what is reputed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddesses of beauty, a favourite destination for many tourists seeking Mediterranean sun and relaxed beach holidays. The island is well served by numerous hotels and guest houses that cater to all nationalities, but Cyprus continues to be popular among British holiday makers.

There’s so much that’s familiar about Cyprus for the Brits, apart of course from the distinctly un-British weather, which is probably why it’s a favoured place to rent holiday cottages. They drive on the same side of the road in Cyprus as we do in the UK for a start! The currency is the Euro, with which most British holiday makers are already very familiar, the tap water is safe to drink and best of all, the electricity supply in Cyprus is 230 volts AC 50 Hz using 13 amp, square pin sockets, so UK electrical gadgets and gizmos can be used without any modification or conversion. Renting villas in Cyprus is probably one of the best ways to give you a comfortable and spacious base from which you can really explore and enjoy this fantastic island that boasts a rich and varied cultural heritage where old customs co-exist happily alongside modern attitudes.

From the peace and tranquillity of ancient, historic villages to lively coastal resorts, you can find a villa to suit any holiday taste or requirement. Some are convenmiently positioned in locations where you can find most of what you’re looking for not much further than your own front door. A villa in northern Cyprus is great for those who want breathtaking landscapes as well as opportunities for fun and relaxation. Cyprus offers everything a truly memorable Mediterranean holiday should be: from good food and wine, stunning scenery and shopping to watersports or sunbathing on a beautiful beach.
