Cyprus has been a typical British holiday destination, which always put me off as I hate going to all those resort type places. But maybe I should check it out.

No fee to withdraw cash in Pathos.....love that! The New York Plaza hotel with a full kitchen and nice "room with a view" and balcony looked lovely! Even $60.00 a night during the "high Season" is still a bargain but $23.00 during the Winter is fabulous for a good size apartment. You can travel so well on a reasonable budget and stay for twice the amount of time in Cyprus as you might anywhere else near the Mediterranean Sea. The Cypriot food you showed looked so fresh, healthy and satisfying....for so little cash....what a great place!

Hello from Cyprus. As a tourist it's expensive for you but we as locals we know where to eat high class for the same price and shop organic food. I buy 20 euros worth of groceries and it lasts me a week, breakfast , lunch and dinner and snacks. But our places are amazing to eat and fun to go out eating and drinking coffee. Make sure you know a local so you can eat the best food and have the best time.

I stayed near Paphos five years ago but I'm going back later this year, staying at the Kings Hotel which is in your video at 5.12. Useful to have some up to date costs of things and a better idea of how far to walk down to the harbour area. We used to come in by bus down the Tomb of the Kings road so I recognise many of the places.

@Diaryofabeautygeek 6 жыл бұрын

Ah it's so great that you've shown how inexpensive Cyprus can be, a few people I know have said they wouldn't want to go because it's so expensive! The top hotels are pricey yes but eating and drinking as well as busses and entrance fees into places are not that expensive. I love all the archaeology sites, I love exploring tombs and all the ancient sites with many around Paphos. The last time we went (we stayed in Paphos) and paid for half a day Segway tour....it was amazing! The guide brought us to all the ancient sites and gave us history lessons along the way, well worth doing. The place was situated near the car rental place you walked past in the video, not far from the bus station. If your still there, I would definitely recommend. 😁 We've been 5 times now and each time hire a car and travel around the island, absolutely beautiful place with really friendly people. X

@caselli4354 6 жыл бұрын

not expensive ??? even in low season that would mean 600-700€ monthly rent and at least 600€ for food etc...so all together way more than a 1000€ per.month for basic necessities but u call that cheap ??? hilarious

@Diaryofabeautygeek 6 жыл бұрын

casel LI i didn’t say Cyprus was cheap I said that I thought it was great that Gabriel showed us how inexpensive Cyprus could be. He was staying in a hotel apartment which is always going to be more expensive than renting a flat etc Also, he was showing us the prices of meals and drinks at restaurants which is different to actually living in a place for a month where I’m guessing, you wouldn’t eat out at all your meals times??!! It all depends what countries/places you are comparing it all to I suppose.

Nice video, Gabriel! Yes, except for the first restaurant things seem considerably cheap! The dinner looked wonderful. Filling, something that I desire. It's like my vacation on Terceira. Isl., Azores, PT. I could stuff myself, and more, if I were careful, on 12 euros. A decent dinner for about 18 to 19, and of course both about a 5-minute walk from the beach. What I've seen of Cyprus I like. Originally, there were a native people, not the Greeks; I think they still live there.

Cyprus can be really expensive for tourist. Hotels can be really pricey but there are cheapest places to go rarher than staying in downtown. Like staying in Coral beach or bigger houses with many people, like family houses. Also for restaurants is better to go in the middle of the town. For clubbing and having fun downtown is the best place. For the most beautiful beaches are in Latchi Beach and Akamas with really nice 4×4 tours. Also rental car are better in the airpotrts. For drinks and staff also the best places to buy are the supermarkets, avoid suvenir shops and kiosk. There everything cost at least €2 more. Cyprus can be cheap if you are a tourist but you avoid to leave like a tourist i guess

@kyriakosCF 5 жыл бұрын

I mean Paphos. Not Cyprus. Lemesos is really expensive ,also Nicosia. I dont know a lot about Larnaca. For the special night clubbing fun time Ayia Napa is the best place, the ceapest flights are to Larnaca, the capital is Nicosia but nothing special there, for History and culture go to Paphos, and for nature go to Troodos

In Spain, more touristy than Cyprus, food prices cost half, for example buffe in most of Spain's cities cost around 10-15 euros, I mean good buffe. but the hotel price is cheap where you live. Larnca is more touristy go there if you have the opportunity

Unfortunately the prices scale up with the demand, and there are a lot of Tourists. Our whole economy is based on tourism so it makes sense that restaurants, hotels, bars can be very expensive in the summer. Considering other tourist destinations, the prices are normal.
