Like most people I went to Cyprus in 2001 . Nobody should stay in Paphos , its full of old retired people .Was stuck there for 7 days . Horrible . Limassol is supposed to be the best

Stayed there at the last game.
It's alright, nothing special.
Wouldn't kill me if I had to go back there.
Almost all the package deals will go there.
Will be looking at Ayia Nappa first though.

Don't forget Switzerland home is 4 days later so the package will need to come back on the sunday.

Bet the week before the game will be twice the price of another week in Cyprus in October. Better to book an ex UK package early.

I tried booking Dubai for the Iran away game (before it was known who we'd meet - both Saudi and Iran would have been accessible) but they wanted 1200 instead of the normal 400 yoyos for the time of the Irish game. Told them to stuff it and went to Iran instead and so glad I did. Don't think they got too many takers in the end.

If you have to bring the missus, Protaras is the place to go. About 10 mins from Agia Napa if you want the night life, but during the day it is just superb. It has not got the maddness associated with Agia Napa, loads to to mind you but a much slower pace to it.

Was there myself a few weeks ago with the missus and couldn't recommend it more, but then again, may be I am just getting old!

If it's a lads holiday your after

(and I would thoughly recommend it), go to Agia Napa, oh my god!

thanks for that info....

much appreciated

Cyprus match is to be played at the Neo GSP Stadium in Nicosia City (Capital City). It has a capacity of 23,400. You can get flights with cyprusairways.com from London Hethrow to Laranca City (South of Nicosia) for about 330euro... chater might be your best bet. In Cyprus they use the Cyprus Pound (about 1 CYP = 1.75 EUR). Temp in Nicosia at this time of year is about 29C

From memory they accept €uro in many shops.

Would love to get to this wan

**Closed Account 2** · 13/10/2004, 4:09 PM

Me too, it looks a safer bet than Israel away and probably easier to get to than the Færoes. Anyone know about ferries to the island and then bus to Nicosia (eg say Easyjet London -Athens, Ferry Pireaus (Port of Athens) to Limassol) - does that sound plausable ? Anyone got info on Ferries to Cyprus ?

**Barbie** · 14/10/2004, 11:28 AM

I was out there for the last game and there were tickets on sale in some of the bars beforehand. They were actually cheaper than what we had paid the travel agent for them. No surprises there though.
That was over 3 years ago and Internet bookings for travel are vastly superior than they were then so I'd look at your options before getting ripped off by a travel agent.

Any word on flight prices to Cyprus?

will probably be a month or so yet before scheduled flights are loaded into the systems as most airline companies only release flights 11 months in advance

cheapest flight price for septebmer at the moment is £140 with czech airlines (from LHR via PRG)

no idea on prices from dub, but cheapest seems to be £200 with Czech, or Helios Airways
