The Leisurely Pace of Village Life in Cyprus
With some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean and an average of 340 sunny days per year in which to enjoy them, it’s not hard see why the tiny island of Cyprus attracts 2.4 million visitors each year. However, there is another side to the island and if you have landed on this […]
Heading to London After the Olympics is Still a Good Idea
