Cyprus is really different then Egypt, but I get the feeling that I am nopt experiencing Cyprus at its best. Most of the people we meet say oh yeah you could do that, but it's better in the summer.
We went to a beach called Agia Napa. It was really pretty, but basically deserted. The streets were lined with souvenir shops and strip clubs... much different then the atmosphere in Egypt.
They say Aphrodite was born from the foam of the sea in Paphos. It looks beautiful and we would like to see it if it works out, but it turns out that it is about 40 km from Paphos city centre and we don't hae a car. We did run into a couple Candian girls who are also teaching in Egypt and vacationing in Cyprus who rented a car. We went to Agia Napa with them the first full day we were here and they plan on coming to Paphos in the next couple of days so maybe we can hook upwith them to see it.
For now there is a lot to see within walking distance. The tombs of the Kings sounds really interesting and the sea is beautiful. I look forward to a nice day of exploring on foot tomorrow. We were going to rent bikes yesterday in Larnaca but it turns uot everythin is closed on Sundays. Larnaca is much like a small town. It looks like Paphos shuts down around 530 as well, which is really different then Egypt where everything stays open late.
The view on the ride here was worth the trip alone. Breathtakingly beautiful. Pictures will never do it justice.
