Schedule , good way to prepare hollydays

I always have been wondering if scheduling his vacations is a good idea.

well I think not in time/day, but I think preparing hollydays means having minimum knowledges on where we go.

Cyprus public transportation network is very good.
In a nutshell, you have 4 towns in the network of  Cyprus buses:
Each one has a regional network. For example, with this kind of network, you can go from Larnaca to Pyla, which is a small village in the buffer zone.

then you have direct links
From Larnaca and Paphos to : Nicosia and Limassol

From nicosia and Limassol to: all other cities.

there are also links to the ghost town's border

why to go to Cyprus ?

I'vealways wanted to go to Cyprus, for a long time, for many reasons.

This quite litle Island is very interesting for more than one point:


  1. Historical island: In Cyprus, there was "life" before the Greeks , that is prooven by the "Choirokoitia", but it's also the Aphrodit's islands, and it was a byzantin island.   
  2. Sunny  Island: Many French thinks that Cyprus is really close (geographically) from Grecce than it is. That's not true , cyprus is geographically in middle East, but its history makes it an european island in midlle-east. It means, it's very sunny, and lots of beaches
  3. Multi cultural island: Though there was a ethnic cleaning by Denktash with the help of turkish army, the republic of Cyprus seems to be multi ethnics, with Maronits catholics, greek orthodox, there is even a synagog in Larnaca, and they did not destroy any Mosquee. There is even on multi cultural village that stands in the buffer zone: Pyla
  4. Wonderfull landscapes: of course troodos, but also salt lakes (and their birds and sunset), I want see them
