Cyprus | Travel Diaries

Traveling and seeing the world is something I love to do, it is something my parents have made sure I have experienced since the very start of my life for this I am extremely grateful to them. One thing I love about going on holiday is capturing the amazing photographic moments that happen so that you can keep that memory forever. This summer I went to Cyprus, I had been there a couple of times before in the past but we decided to go again because of how beautiful and lovely the island is.


We stayed in a beautiful little villa just about 20 minutes away from Paphos (the nearest town) we didn't do an awful lot in the way of activities in the first week of our stay but we visited one of our favourite beaches/cove, which was really close to where we were staying. At the very start of the second week we hired a speed boat from a company in Polis and spent the day driving from cove to cove having a look around and a swim, one particular place we stayed at the most was the Blue Lagoon which was a beautiful cove with crystal clear water, generally just a lovely place to stop and swim for a bit. The only negative about that day was that we chose the day that Cyprus had a heat wave and temperatures reached around 42°C which was boiling even for Cyprus! We also decided that week to hire quad bikes (What an adventurous week that turned out to be!) and we took them out for the day driving them through off-road tracks along the coast, which I have to say was the best thing we did all holiday.


During the third week we went to a zoo, and hired the quad bikes again for another day, this time exploring through a deserted and derelict village, eating lunch right by the side of a dam and just getting completely lost along random routes. In means of food we went out occasionally to different restaurants in our general area for dinner. I love trying local and unique food while on holiday and dining in restaurants along the harbour and sea front.


For the other days in the holiday they were spent relaxing by the pool, messing around in the pool and exploring other parts of the area nearby. These were three weeks I will never forget, I can happily say that I did not want to go back to school after this!
