Whether you’re traveling from the UK or anywhere else in the world, you’re in for an impressive selection of accommodation on offer. There are two basic categories: private rentals and hotel accommodations.
Private rentals, whether they are apartments or vacation homes, must meet very high standards in terms of facilities and security. They come as exceptional value for money for the tourist. Also, private owners are more likely to accept your reduced price offer than the hotel chain. In the meantime, when deciding which offer to choose, compared to the asking price, cut 10-15% in the high season and 20-25% in the off-season. Simply respond to the asking price by offering at least 15% less, to close the deal with a realistic 10% savings. In the current economic climate, this formula has worked well for me.
Most vacation reservations are now made through secure internet payment systems. You can book your vacation directly with the apartment owner just as safely as you would with a trusted travel agent. In Cyprus, the Larnaca district is rapidly gaining popularity. This is partly due to the recently opened new international airport which attracts the majority of visitors to the country, but in large part it is due to good long term planning which incorporates a spectrum of facilities on offer to the guest, it is that is, new golf courses, luxury spas, selection of water sports, etc.
The town of Oroklini, located approximately 6 km from the city of Larnaca, is one of those charming towns that is very popular with visitors, particularly people coming from Europe. Unless you’re looking for wild nightlife, which you’ll find in a nearby town of Ayia Napa or in the city of Larnaca itself, Oroklini offers everything else. There are friendly people, delicious food, and all the essentials. There is a good selection of accommodation on offer: from small, compact studios and one-bedroom apartments to numerous luxury villas. From Oroklini it is 5 minutes to the nearest Blue Flag awarded beach and 15 minutes to Larnaca International Airport.
Cyprus is generally an expensive country, so the key to remember is: choose the suburb of the coastal city or some of the magnificent nearby towns as your base. With the city’s benefits at your fingertips, don’t miss the chance to mingle with the locals and enjoy their great produce, including food at a fraction of the cost you’d pay at the tourist hotspots.
