GG, I have just returned from Cyprus and it is a gorgeous place. Very interesting to say the least. I would suggest that you try and do some sightseeing. I am not sure who you are visiting, but if you are going to be on yur own I would recomend you get to a tourist office and get a couple of free maps and brochures on Cyprus.
This is my recomended itenary for you
Day 1 Larnaca,
Breakfast along Phinikoudes strip
Visit the Sultan Teke
Salt Lake
Kamares
Day Two head for Lemesos
on the way stop at Tenda
Hirokition
Arrive @ lemesos spend the day doing a bit of shoping and lunch at the old town
visit Lemesos Castle
Day 3 Head for paphos
stop at Kolosi Castle
Head to Temple of Apolo
There is also an amphitheatre which I cannot recall the name of at the moment
by the time you arrive to paphos you;ll be stuffed so chill out at your hotel and call my friend Kafenes.
Paphos s full of clubs bars etc for a drink if you wish to do so
Day 4
Visit the Toombs of the Kings
and other ancient ruins in the area.
Day 5
Drive to the baths of Aphrodite near Akamas
Day 6 Head to Nicosia via Trodos mountains
you need to start early it tales about 3 hours.
park you car and try walk around the old Nicosia town there are some galleries in the old gates.
When driving please note that the roads a usually one way each direction and Cypriots do not value their lives
Try and have a souvlaki by the little souvlakithiko near Agalma Solomou
you can stay in Nocosis for the night or drive back to Larnaca (if staying in Larnaca I would recomend a small hotel Livadiotis you can book them via the net
www.bookcyprus.com you get a discount if booking thru them).
Day 7
Cross the checkpoint at Ledra Palace Hotel for a visit to the occupied area of Lefkosia. Where you will experience the differnece between the communities but also get a feel of what Cyprus used to be like 20 years or so.
Day 8
Chill out in Larnac a till you fly out.
Have a nice wonderful and safe Cyprus holiday.
