    16 " boys from Co. Armagh ", for Cyprus

    Staying in Ayia Napa, 7 nights self catering, booked it ourselves. Depart Belfast 2nd Oct, return 9th/10th, cost £350, including Belfast to Heathrow flights, but no coach transfers from airport to apartments or apartments to the match in Nicosia (and hopefully back sometime before our flight leaves, if we've stopped celebrating that is.)

    Anyone know if it will be difficult to arrange mini-buses for these journeys?

    Should we attempt to book transport before leaving Ireland?

    From experience, anyone know if it's likely that some of the local bars in Ayia Napa will organise buses from Ayia Napa to the match in Nicosia and back after?

    Jaysus! Ayia Napa won't know what has hit it! Armagh invasion!! I'd say there'll be loads of buses running from the pubs to the game and back Nolan, don't know about transport from airport though, maybe hire a mini van or 2....

    Thumbs up Good tip

    Thanks for the advice Kerr's Tribe, I'll pass it on to the rest of the boys. Some of the away trip virgins were getting a bit nervous about travel arrangements and since I'm one of our trip organisers just thought I'd ask for advice.

    The last trip the club ran was Malta, years and years ago, which was a fantastic trip, see the pair of belly-dancers for details! So the pressure's on me to pull off, sorry bad choice of words, to better that memorable night. Any ideas as to what would help 15 men, mostly married/courting, to remember their week in Cyprus? 3-0 to Ireland doesn't count!

    How about some of this, if they can be persuaded away from the DRINNK!

    Ayia Napa

    also might help

    I'd say, if u have time hire a mini-van or two and head up to the mountains for a day or 2. Food is meant to be great in tavernas off the beaten track

    I lived in Cyprus early 90's, and seem to remember that all the towns and large villages ran what were called ' service taxis '. These were stretch Mercedes cars that ran between all towns and villages at set times, which were shared by anyone needing to travel. These were very cheap, although the driving was awful.

    Think a few bars will be arranging coachs, dont hold me to this but expect them to be; The Bhoys Bar, Finnegans Bar (Ayia Napa): The Step Inn (Limassol): Jaggy Thistle (Paphos).


    The fella who owned The Step Inn ( Stellios) is sound. Married to an Irishwoman (for his sins) and worked in The Tree of Idleness greek restaurant in Bray Co. Wicklow a few years back. Not sure if he still has it tho

    i met the guy who owns the bhoys bar through work a few times and he reckons they will be running coaches. Nicosia is about an hour from ayia napa so a taxi between four wouldnt cost a fortune either
