This was an organised package holiday from London Gatwick with a flight to
Larnaca. I hired a car through Avis for the entire two weeks of the
trip and drove myself to the accommodation based in the Troodos mountain village of
Platres. The weather was superb for the whole time with unbroken
sunshine. The temperatures on the coast were very warm indeed and I certainly welcomed the cooler air of the mountains in Platres.
Although my accommodation provided breakfast I decided to self cater for the rest of the
day, particularly mythevening meals in Platres. There are some very nice tavernas
in the village to sample the local cuisine, most of which seemed to be of a high
standard. The itinerary
is shown below along with my trip list.
