Cyprus. The name itself conjures up images of long sandy beaches, crystal blue waters, hills dotted with olive groves and traditional white washed villages. Sadly, more recently it also conjures up images of overcrowded, ugly tourist resorts with cheap restaurants catering to mismatched international tastes….
The problem with Cyprus is that it’s no longer a well-kept secret. This small island receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and, quite simply - it’s got to put them all somewhere. Resorts and complexes abound – catering for family and group holidays from all over Europe. Deals are good and numbers increasing – aided of course by the growing number of low cost airlines and flight options.
For many, the island is becoming a home away from home. Apart from the improved weather and the beautiful scenery, the resorts, by their very nature, seemingly absorb the local culture and create a watered down, international version of it. There’s something lacking in authentic charm.
Fortunately there is a way around it. Increasingly large numbers of visitors are opting for the ‘real’ Cyprus holiday experience and as these discerning travellers are increasing in number, so too are their options. Finding an individual, one-off property to stay in is straightforward nowadays as islanders and foreign property owners realise the growing demand. More and more properties are becoming available to rent and at prices that won’t break the bank. Whether you want to stay in a traditional stone house in a local village or a secluded luxury villa in an olive grove – the options are now at your disposal. You just have to decide which in unique way you’re going to discover the real charms of Cyprus.
