Cyprus is a nice place to go on the lam....if I were looking for a hidey-hole, Cyprus would certainly be on top ten list.
I’ve been to both sides of the island. I would say the South is of course, really touristy and the North is, in some area, like you’ve walked into a time warp back to late 19th Century rural Anatolia. If you like quiet, it’s nice. There’s some really nice out-of-the-way quiet places in the South as well that are great to check out.
And if you’re into archaeology and history, both sides are really great for checking out....the whole island is a treasure trove of various sites.
I read that the Cypriot Finance Minister is flying to Moscow tomorrow for “discussions”. I’d hate to be him for all the whisky in Ireland.
Sounds like a place I would like to visit some day....especially if John Law is after me. Grilled fresh sardines and squid and other fish with olives from there
