Hi all,

Looking to get away on Monday to Cyprus for some warm weather training prior to a sporting opportunity. I'm a British Greek Cypriot and have been to Cyprus loads of times for holidays. My knowledge of the country spreads to the hotels, restaurants and beaches but not much else.

Ideally I want to stay in a decent hotel for one week, budget is around £650 max. Now here's the hard part, I need access to a football pitch with goals or a well maintained field that I can train on i.e run, sprint, fitness drills. Ideally free access as well. Obviously in the UK there are parks everywhere with goals but I can't seem to remember ever seeing somewhere when I've been in Protaras, Larnaca, Paphos etc.

I can rent a car so can travel by car to the field if needed but it needs to be in the local area i.e hotel in Protaras - Training pitch in Protaras/Ayia Napa.

I've been to America before and found loads of areas when I got there but I'm not too sure about Cyprus. Gyms are obviously easy to find online but can't seem to track down any information about public football pitches.

Can anyone help/offer advice?
