Cyprus Day 8-home time
Today we flew back to UK sad to leave after a really enjoyable week away with the gang and the family. I’d tried for a late check-out at the Almyra and we weren’t due to be picked up for the airport shuttle until 2pm. Unfortunately they had an early check-in planned for our room as…

Cyprus Day 7 – Last full day
This morning Kelly and I met Beth, Joseph and Nayia for breakfast down in the harbour. It’s only a short walk from the Almyra Hotel to the harbour and their restaurant of choice – called The Pengouino cafe. A lovely stylish place busy with locals and tourists enjoying the coffee, food and weather. We had…

We’d pre-booked some minibuses with Beth’s help – to ferry everyone around. After another hearty breakfast…

We started off inside in the dining area but to be honest, the noise from the other guests combined with all the cutlery clacking was…

Cyprus Day 2: Chilling and Zivania!
I’ve always loved hotel breakfasts and the Almyra’s offering did not disappoint! There’s a great selection of the usual cereals, fruits, pastries, some local oddities and of course a cooked breakfast section with a live omelette station. Once seated (preferably outside under the canopy), you order your tea/coffee/whatever and then go and help yourself buffet-style.…
