Like what, out of interest's sake? I was there in October - lovely weather and plenty of drink and all, but apart from that, there wasn't much to write home about. Fairly dull country really. Might end up being the only game I'll miss this time around, which wouldn't worry me overly.Quote:

is the cheapest way.Check out Libra Holidays we have already booked a week in Ayia Napa which we stayed in for a fortnight last year and loved every minute of it cant wait to go back. The flight back on the 11th gets in to belfast at 10.50 giving you plenty of time to get down to Landsdowne for the Czech game.
The food is exceptional there and Charlie in the Golden Arrow Pub is the friendliest and best barman in the world.
Cheapest way to get to Cyprus is Via England.Last year I done Cork- Stanstead (Ryanair)and Stanstead Larnaca (http://www.sterlingtours.co.uk)..................This year I booked early and went direct .
Try Malev Dublin-Budapest with a connection to Athens, followed by Cyprus Air Athens-Larnaka. Worked out fairly cheap for me last time out, though a pain in the arse timewise (11 hours travelling or something). But if you're looking to save cost first and foremost, could be an option.
BMI to london heathrow and cyprusairways direct about €370 last time i checked. Cyprus airways have 2 flights daily from heathrow and 1 from stanstead.
If anyone is looking for cheap car hire try economycarrentals.com done me a very good deal last time. Although as October is the end of season most of the hire firms out there were offering cheap car hire anyway.
Right, I've managed to book Cyprus for EUR450pp. This is departing London with Cyprus Airways, for 8 days in a 2 bed apartment in Protaras and includes car hire!
Fair enough if you have to travel from Ireland to England first, add on EUR100 approx. it's still a good deal. And no profit made by the Travel Agents!

Gery McMahon travel quoting FROM €829 for 3 nights self catering, Cyprus Airways + BMI €300 Hotel €150 = €379 for coach transfers and a €15 match ticket. Must be some coach!! Maybe Stringfellows are providing the entertainment free on it.
I was in cyprus last october went with globel travel and really enjoyed it. apartments where pretty decent i tought.we also got a game of soccer organised against a group of lads from cork.and made some good friends with a group from sligo. i booked again for this trip in october.this time went through the internet and managed to get flight and apartments for 380 euros.staying in ayia napa this trip in the euronapa apartments does anyone what there like.

changed.
