Cyprus has some of the best fruits on offer anywhere in Europe. In fact a recent 'internal' memo at Cyprus HQ mentioned the fact that Cyprus should be promoting it's organic produce and local shops.. best wishes, Cyprus InsiderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-10151001578786728462007-07-10T17:18:00.000+03:002007-07-10T17:18:00.000+03:00Dunno without a lot of thinking Sue :-) Despite w...Dunno without a lot of thinking Sue :-) Despite what you (and the EU) might assume I both buy and think in pounds not kilos!<BR/>I bought some *wonderful* cherries grown in Kent last Friday. They were dear too - as far as I remember £3 for 2lbs - but worth every penny and, if I've remembered my price correctly, very close to what you also paid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-81754843098519016972007-07-10T15:03:00.000+03:002007-07-10T15:03:00.000+03:00Yes, Cyprus is very humid during the summer - I di...Yes, Cyprus is very humid during the summer - I didn't know Paphos was worse than the rest; usually it's slightly cooler, which I suppose would compensate somewhat. Air conditioning will remove the humidity so you should be all right for sleeping; humidity is usually worst in the evenings. <BR/><BR/>As for Coral Bay - we've never been there, but it's famous for its beaches. If you want sea and sand, it's ideal. Otherwise you may want to rent a car and go into Paphos to see historic sites etc. Hope you enjoy Cyprus!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835205817921501248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-72283900562564245242007-07-09T21:28:00.000+03:002007-07-09T21:28:00.000+03:00I`m coming out for two weeks 1st weeks of August w...I`m coming out for two weeks 1st weeks of August with my family. There are five of us, three kids aged between 10&14. We wanted to try somewhere differant with guaranteed sunshine. Looking at your site it seems we have no worries there. I`m slightly concerned at the humidity in Paphos. We are staying near Coral Bay which I understand is only a few miles away and it seems for some reason that the humidity in Paphos (according to the http://www.cyprus-weather.com/) web site is much higher than anywhere esle on the island. Is that the case? The villa we have booked has air-con but still slightly concerned. Any idea of what coral bay is like and any suggestions of things we should do?<BR/><BR/>Many thanks<BR/><BR/>Fraser StewartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-10182140259182332472007-07-09T21:17:00.000+03:002007-07-09T21:17:00.000+03:00Hi Sue,Cherries are in season right now and cost a...Hi Sue,<BR/><BR/>Cherries are in season right now and cost about $1.60 U.S. a pound. They are *so* good :-). The Canadian dollar has been rapidly climbing and almost at par with the American right now.
