Do yourself a favour and become the 'one off token Brit' in a small village, lovely life A complete reversal of our situation in the UK where my wife is the 'token Cyp', no problems for her either

One is generally welcome two become a self winding problem no matter if its Oroklini on Sea or Little Nicosia

Good Luck

I have to agree with Robin Hood on this one. I've lived in Limassol for over 22 years now and it's without a doubt the best overall place on the island. Larnaca is well, an ex oil depot. Paphos has been polluted with tiny tourist villas to accommodate those Brits. Nicosia, nice city, but there's no beach. Ayia Napa and that side is okay if you are 20, drunk, horny and stoned. Limassol's the place to be.

Again thanks to all for replies, we were thinking Larnaca but maybe we will take a look at Limasol as well

Since you have indicated an interest in the 'Larnaka' region of Cyprus, you will probably find yourself drawn to the area surrounding 'Voroklini' where there are many 'Ex-pat Brits' in residence.

When last I visited the 'Officer's Club' in Dekeleias (or Dhekalia/Dhekelia) as the British like to call it, I spoke to a chap who informed me that there was a problem at the UKCA club in 'Voroklini', it would appear that someone in authority had made off with the funds and that the club was facing closure.

It might be wise to check whether there be any truth in such information, apparently it is (or was) a place where most of the community meet on a daily basis, if the clubs in other locations are still functioning, it may well prove to be advisable to select one of them as your intended base.

Incidentally, I was told that the person in authority was a 'Brit', which just goes to show that there is nothing like a bit of the' Old Bulldog Spirit' when it comes to getting their hands a few bob 'eh ? (F**k you Jack, I'm alright).

Why didn't you take some pictures of the lovely little beaches there (I mean beaches, not bitches)?

We went round via Baths of Aphrodite on the dirt track. Unfortunately we didn't have a 4x4, otherwise we could've gone further.

First visited the area over 30 years ago. A group of about 25, consisting of 8 different nationalities camped down there for an Easter weekend. It was absolutely brilliant and we only saw 3 other people for the whole weekend. Needles to say large amounts of KEO were consumed.

BTW we did clean up after ourselves.

very nice area except 2 points: 1. No sandy beaches (mostly rocky) ... but the water is really clean! 2. Too far from any major city.

And that's exactly why it is free from smelly human bodies doused in coconut oils!
