The Helios Bay Apartmnent Hotel is next door and the Laura Beach Hotel about 5 minutes walk away.

The Venus Beach Hotel is about 7 minutes away; the St George is rather closer - maybe a couple of minutes.

Are you aware why the Azia is full? It is a transitional R&R stop for Canadian soldiers who have been serving in various war zones - I trust you have no young female relatives staying there

They are only allowed to eat in two local restaurants - so that the MPs can keep an eye on them!

Hi Lana, I have just returned from my weekend break in Paphos spending my time visiting my brother in law who is here on decompression with the Canadian Army. The info you received about them only being allowed to go to 2 restaurants is false. They are open to all of paphos, bars and restaurants with the exception of 2 bars on bar street. We had a great time while there, they were well behaved (for the most part) Daytime activities were arranged for them like gokarting and paintballing etc. I must comment thou how much the cypriot companies are ripping them off.. A taxi from the Azia hotel into bar street should have cost NO MORE than 15 euros one way.. the local drivers were charging them from 30-50 euros for a one way trip!! We made it pretty clear to the people in charge how much they're being ripped off and I think they eventually sacked the taxi company they had an agreement with. All in all we had a great time down there. Ended up staying in the Helios Bay apt hotel. Was ok.. nothign fancy but all we used it for was a place to crash.

I was glad you had a good time; what really upsets Canadians, is that everyone always assume they are Americans, when they speak!

Not everyone, the accents are distinguishable.

[Svetlana]

...oh no they are not!

Canadians are Americans to me....same bloody place, or there-abouts!

[orokliniservices]

so NOT the same place Z4!! If you were from either countries you'd be sure to make that very clear!

But yes Lana, I do agree on the accent thing. Coming from Canada myself I can obviously tell the difference between the two, and my british partner now can as well.. but most people do get them mixed up. Worst slap in the face is the Azia hotel pulled down all of their international flags in the front of the hotel and put up one lonely American flag.. I mean it's a hotel filled with Canadians wearing canada tops and maple leaf symbols everywhere.. you think they would have been able to get the flag right¬!

They should have known you were Canadians because you all walk around in snowshoes!
