Vacaions in Cyprus
Cyprus is just about as far south as Greece extends before you reach the Middle East and Egypt. This is why the Island is blessed with over 320 days of glorious Mediterranean sunshine every year and the temperature seldom drops below 18c even in winter. That's if you can call December to February a winter at all. So if it's sunshine holidays you are after then perhaps you should consider taking your next vacation in Cyprus. The Weather is only one factor however that makes this beautiful Island so appealing to the countless people who return there year after year for more of the same.
Once you arrive in Cyprus you could be forgiven for thinking that you have in fact landed back in the U.K. but in some alternate reality because Cyprus as often been referred to as England with the sun. Most Cypriots speak excellent English as a second language and it's taught in all the schools even at primary level. They drive on the left and all the road signs are in English as well as Greek so getting around is much the same as back home but without all the congestion or hassle. perhaps this is why so many ex pats settle in Cyprus to enjoy their retirement in the sun.
