try paphos pal really nice and clean and a very much english feel to the place. good little harbour to strole around at nite if you want a chillin holiday, not the cheapest place to go as in booking it, but from what i can remember its normally priced when you get there.

we stop in a hotel called the coral beach hotel, just out side paphos (you'll probably need to hire a car) this place has its own private beach which is absolutely mint!!

Was there last year - went offroad through the huge nature reserve at the north west of the island - some nice views etc but lots of fun tanking about in a hire 4x4 totally lost. Was staying just outside paphos, some good places to eat in there etc but it doesnt strike me as the best place in the world. Did water parks and vine yard tours etc which were pretty good fun. its a bit too britty for me as a perfect holiday destination.

yeh that s what i mentioned it does have a very english feel to it. probably because we own it lol.

i hate going to places though and feeling right out of place when your english!! i have just come back from playa del ingles in gran canary and it was full of fecking germans that wouldn't piss on us if we on fire ( the feelings kind of mutual lol), funily enough my girlfriend got A* at A level in german so she knew exacly what some of them were saying when we were sat at the pool!!!
