Why dont you guys all meet us in Cyprus for a drinking contest after the game.Originally Posted by Shae_B2D
Being in Cyprus might be a bit weird for me, an Israeli Ireland fan in a country which speaks my favorite language! drinking contest to the sound of Greek music, you know what? I love the sound of that idea!Why dont you guys all meet us in Cyprus for a drinking contest after the game.
Do you believe in Miracles?
Thank you,
I will decide in July if I get there or not.
Ok I'll get the first round in
I'm still on a drinking break though, from that last minute. My friends all think I'm out of my mind, I'm known as the eternal-beer-in-hand-girl out of us, but I'm sick as hell and needed two days to recover from the hang over.
Do you believe in Miracles?
as did Ineeded two days to recover from the hang over.
have got a good deal through A friend who is an agent, €500 approx via Gatwick. 7 nights (tue-tue) in Ayia Napa. Seeing what the stand up boys are doing before confirming though.

Ye got some very good deals there lads but you have to remember Cyprus is fairly expensive.Their pound is stronger than Stirling.Limassol is good,well it was in 2001 but if you want loads of music,women men(for the women and men if you like) beer sun,good beaches and too many Brits Ayia Nappa is what you are looking for.I was there in 2001 but i am in my mid thirties now so will have to go to Phapos along with all the other wrinklies.
Any word on how easy it is to get from Greece (Athens) to Cyprus? And how expensive? Just scanned the whole thread but cant see any info
Did the Ireland game in Cyprus in 2001, and also did the Derry game in 2003. Both superb craic from start to finish.
Getting to the game from pretty much anywehere on the island won't be a huge problem. The bars in Ayia Napa will be running buses up (at least the 3 or 4 Irish ones will anyway). I'm sure it'll be the same from Limassol. Paphos is quite a bit further away and don't know if it has any Irish bars, so not sure about that. The Cypriots don't miss a trick when it comes to making a few quid, so I'd expect buses to be running from anywhere there's more than a handful of Paddies.
Taxis to the game from Ayia Napa wouldn't be that expensive either, though your problem would be getting one back afterwards (the stadium's in the middle of nowhere).
We hired a jeep last time, which between 5 of us cost very little. Didn't take it up to the senior game though. I drove us up to the U21 game and managed to combine getting stopped for speeding with being sick at the roadside after a heavy night before. Luckily not at precisely the same time....
The game coincides with the end of the holiday season at Ayia Napa, so it'll be quieter than it is in the thick of Summer. Should still be fairly lively though.....
You met Nice Guy in Tel Aviv, did he tell you their story about speeding in Cyprus?
It basically concluded with, "He's got to catch us first!"
