So talk to me about Cyprus
Discussion
Yes, love it up there although the big girls blouse of a wife hates the narrow and steep roads we use.
Maybe she doesn't like it! I don't, does that make me a big girls blouse, some people are not happy with heights.
Mrs. DG3 loves cable cars, bungee jumping, and jumping out of Aeroplanes, does she make me do it, no!
I like driving fast, she hates it, do I drive fast when she is in the car, no!

Bit of a trek, but Nicosia is a different day out.
My folks live in Episkopi now, but we first had a place in Limassol in the mid 80's, and Nicosia was a bit different back then, but it's all open now and you can wander through to the Turkish side.
Still plenty of bullet holes in walls, and if Woolworths is still there, some great views from the top.
Laatchi is very nice, maybe hire a boat and head out to the blue lagoon, anchor up and have a picnic and a dip.
Some amazing tavernas away from the tourist areas, may look a bit rustic, but don't be shy, they are cheap, and food tends to be plentiful. Try a meze.
Make sure you try a halloumi and lounza pitta, washed down with a Keo.

Slip across the border and visit famagusta.
Really weird, youcan go on the beach and behind are all the crumbling hotels allegedly untouched since 1974.
You have to pay about £10 on the border to upgrade insurance.
Nissi beach is awesome but next on up even better, can't remember the name but next on left after from Ayia Nappa.
Troodos already stated, go in summer and you can see the ski lifts and yet its 40 degrees C, very surreal.
Aphrodites rock, sea can be a bit harsh though.
Do not go to Limassol, not a single Cypriat or Brit there. Totally infested with Russians and poor Indian workers.

WOW! Did somebody get out of bed the wrong side? A tad touchy mate. May I suggest you ask mrsdaqinggeg for a bit tonight, might calm you down. Maybe she doesn't like it! I don't, does that make me a big girls blouse, some people are not happy with heights.

Take a visit to the North, it's lovely there (however I am biased, my dad has a villa near Kyrenia so I go there at least twice a year)
AFAIK you can take guided tours from the South to the North, and you'll be able to experiment some interesting heratige and see. How different it is to the South. You'll also notice how cheap it is! Seeing as it's current is the Turkish Lira, eating and going out are a lot cheaper than the South under the Euro.
It's like a second home for me really, people are lovely and friendly too (except the Russian tourists, everyone hates them)
