Why now is the time to visit Cyprus

After visiting the island of Cyprus last year (located in the far eastern reaches of the Mediterranean Sea) I became enchanted by it's beauty, the slower pace of life in the small towns, its food (including seafood) and drink and the mesmerizing beauty of it's beaches.

Far from the Madding  Crowd – Our Half Day Jaunt in San Francisco

We drove into the city on a Sunday morning when parking is free, arriving at around 10am. At that time in the morning, we were still lucky enough to find parking, although it was filling up fast.

Previously I had only heard of Sevilla through an opera that was based on a story about a barber - other than this fragment of knowledge I knew nothing about this charming little town … [Read more...]
