Obviously get a good map and get your bearings in the day when you can judge whether an area is safe or not. Saves you some pennies too!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17602 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14321
Since our return to the UK it has been and continues to be an uphill battle with our insurance company. They refuse to contact the police, this is apparently the responsibility of the traveller.

I believe this needs to be made public especially when travelling to a country that does not apply to travel insurance policies.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14321 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13136
The highlight of our trip was driving through the Troodos Mountains and eating at quaint villages high in the mountains. We also drove to Tylliria and visited a sanctuary for the endangered moufflon.

Plenty of archaelogical sites including the Tomb of the Kings and the famous Paphos Mosaics, most Cypriots seem devoted to Venus - Goddess of love and images of Venus can be found almost everywhere!

Food is delicious - superb mezes, friendly people; we also learnt a bit of Greek (although you can very easily get by in English as everyone speaks it there). This is a beautiful island, with lots to see and do.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13136
