The poor attendance at the game surely backs this up.

We stayed in limasol last time and even if you were to get a taxi to the game it would cost you feck all. I couldn't see a problem in also getting a taxi back.
In fact last time I was able to hail a taxi on the street and get him to get me a burger and bring it back to the bar.
Limassol sounds better transportwise so, I've been to Napa before, is Lamassol a good spot?
Limasol was a great spot last time. I travelled with Ray "Travel for Millionaires" Treacy so there was a big crowd of Irish over on the package. I thought it was a great spot. I'll try and dig up some of the links for some of the pubs. The Titanic and the Car wash were 2 of the clubs. I'll try and get more info
The Step Inn and the Hamlet Bar.Quote:

Also the Welcome Inn.
I'd also be surprised if there was much happening in Ayia Napa that time of the year either.
Just booked 2 flights from Heathrow - €256 each
Aerlingus to Heathrow that am € 60
Accommadation in Ayia Napa (4 nites) €168
Accommadation in Larnaca (1 nite) € 75 (not confirmed but budgeted)
compare that with some of the 1 week hols in Cyrpus - I was onto Budget travel yesterday - they are having a sale at moment - that week in Cyprus is being 'held back' (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) because of the football....watch that space!!

does that make sense?

Thanks for the info

You're the only man I know who has been to Cyprus and dissed it. Must have been bad luck to end-up in Fig Tree Bay instead of one of the main resorts. Where the feck is Fig Tree Bay anyway ?
