Hi, I%26#39;ve only seen good reviews of this place, we%26#39;re going next week for a week.
I%26#39;m getting a tad concerned about people saying it%26#39;s expensive. I don%26#39;t remember Cyprus being expensive when we went 4 years ago - however I guess we never %26#39;splash out%26#39; on holiday!
As we%26#39;re going to be self-catering does anyone know if there are supermarkets/mini-marts near the apartments? I think we%26#39;ll be making our own breakfasts and lunches!!!

There%26#39;s a supermarket right across the road.Also several restaurants both across the road and down to the right,all within about 50 yards of the front door.I say to everyone that it%26#39;s as expensive or as cheap as you want to make it.You can get 3 course set menus for as little as £7 in good resuarants(have a look at Noufaro across the road to the left) or Steak and Ale(same side as hotel,20 yards left).Take a walk up to the main road to Anatolia Restaurant,again cheap set menus and one of the best restaurants I%26#39;ve been to on both sides of the island for good value grub.
Loads of places in Paphos this year had full English breakfast with toast and tea/coffee for £1.95 which is hardly breaking the bank.
Toasties or burgers with chips usually £2-3.Pizza Hut is fairly reasonable and fills you up and it used to get cheaper when you went more than once(don%26#39;t know if they still do this?)

hi
thanks for that ... I agree ... holidays definitely are as cheap or expensive as you want to make them! think we%26#39;ll be avoiding Pizza Hut, and Steak and Ale doesn%26#39;t sound like it%26#39;s for a none meat eater like me! ha ha ...

Hi - yes many prices have increased in the last 4 years - for the Cypriots too !
However, if you have been before then you know that most places have their menus outside for you to check out so you should not get a nasty surprise when the bill comes. The local or %26#39;house%26#39; wine is still a good buy in most tavernas and, especially if there are a few of you, they dont mind if you order several dishes to share. A lot of the tavernas still give you a free sweet of fruit or a drink on the house too. Best bet is to ask around for recommendations. Enjoy

Steak and Ale does sound a bit %26quot;beefy%26quot; but it%26#39;s a Cypriot restaurant owned by a Cypriot family.When we first went 7 or 8 years ago the youngsters of the family would help with bringing the food etc so no doubt they%26#39;ll be fully fledged waiters,waitresses and chefs by now.

yes, I%26#39;ve just been talking to my husband about it and he said that he understood %26#39;Steak and Ale%26#39; wasn%26#39;t some dodgy English pub! ha ha!
