Who has been to Cyprus before and what part did you go too?
Did you like it? what where the prices like there and would you recommend it to me and the misus?

North or south, my parents were in the north the other week and they said the prices over there are starting to get pretty rediculous

Going with my missus in September Nismo, to Vaha Spa. It's meant to be good check it out on trip advisor and vaha-spa.com
Been before with a mate as well and had a good time, great food, fairly cheap tbh and lovely weather.

ive been to paphos and protaras, was when i was younger with my parents though, iirc though there was a long coach ride from larnaca airport to protaras though but will probably be the kinda place your looking for and its not far from ayia napa if you do decide to venture out

yea Protarus went there 3-4 years ago. not too far from ayia napa short bus drive if memory serves me right. what was great about it was you could see the deserted town Famagusta back from when the Turks invaded in like the 70s or somethin, using the camcorder we had you could still see peoples washing out from all those years ago, was very eery  na but anyway nice area good little strip even a mcdonalds an not too busy have a look

i saw that too, went on a roof and they give you binoculars to look in, i dont think its deserted though now as cyprus is one again.. but did you see the car in the dealership? think it was on old merc, imagine how much is worth, 1970 odd zero mileage show room condition

Been 3 times.
Ayia Napa - 2007
Protaras - 2002
Paphos - 1998
Verdict? Amazing holiday, every time. Cyprus is so much nicer than the typical shit Greek islands, it's one of few places i'd go back to.

Ive been loads of times, to Paphos, Agia Napa, Limassol and Nicosia.
Any of the first 3 are good, Nicosia is SHIT, only went there because I have family there, not a tourist place at all, not a thing to do.
Oh, been to the north for a day too, was quite nice, cant even mind where about we were when up there though.
Pretty cool passing the border from Nicosia into the north.

stayed in Casablanca and Tangier and drove from the port Ceuta - awesome place, though i can't say much about there driving, it's damn right shocking and plain stupid
Haven't been further south than Casablanca so can't really comment on Agadir

Been to Morocco loads of times, just came back from 3 weeks over there about 2 weeks ago. love the place, if i could get a job over there and i didnt have a missus here i would be living over there with my parents.
Agadir is really nice fooking hot at the moment but will start to cool down soon. spent a couple of days there with my cousin then went to marakesh and travelled up till we got back home (Larache).
yep the driving is mental but you get use to it, but is tricky when you come back to england and your still driving like the moroccans, what was once overlooked there, can get you in serious trouble here...
Dar-al-baida (casablanca) is really nice too, got some decent clubs and the girls are stunning!!
Enjoy your holiday!!
