Cyprus Chillout

Cypriot food can also be amazing so if you fancy eating out one lunch you’ll be sure a of treat, venture out with your follow members to sample it! Meze is a delicious way to acquaint yourself with the local cuisine, tantalising the taste buds with a feast of small dishes, ranging from creamy hummus to spicy grilled sausage, and everything in between. Heavily influenced by Turkish, Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine, Cypriot food includes some culinary stars unique to the island, including haloumi (helimi in Turkish), and the kebabs are also in a league of their own. And the desserts are irresistible, flavoured with almonds, rose water and pistachios and ranging from creamy rice puddings to gloriously sticky baklava.

When we visit Cyprus is an ideal place to soak up some early spring sun. During April days are pleasantly warm with average highs of 20 degrees, but temperatures may drop at night; still considerably more pleasant than the UK but you may want a fleece or jacket available for the evening! Cyprus also benefits from around 8-9 hours of sunshine in April and the days are increasingly dry.

This holiday is available to book for either 7 or 10 nights. If you are booking on a share basis we can only share you with someone on the same duration.

Inclusive drink package

You can opt to pre-book an inclusive drinks package with your half board stay at the hotel.

Excluded are the superior quality drinks such as Blue/Black label, VSOP, Cognac, Champagne, and others marked with an asterisk on the menus.

The drinks package is unfortunately only available on a per room basis – this means that if you are booking on a twin share basis both members in the room must sign up and pay the supplement. If you book a single room then no problem but if you are booking on a twin share basis we will share you with someone else who has also requested the drinks package (room share requests can still be made but please ensure both of you want the drinks package!).

Passport validity

For UK passport holders your passport must be:

• Issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)
• valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System)

The rules of travel to most European countries have changed. Starting in mid 2025 UK citizens are required to have a travel authorisation to enter 30 European countries for a short stay.

ETIAS travel authorisation is an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to a number of European countries. It is linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorisation.

With a valid ETIAS travel authorisation, you can enter the territory of these European countries as often as you want for short-term stays - normally for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. However, it does not guarantee entry. When you arrive, a border guard will ask to see your passport (and other documents if required) and verify that you meet the entry conditions.

NB - There is no official date for the ETIAS currently confirmed but when it is introduced it will be your responsibility to ensure that you have arranged this. We will update everyone when the ETIAS is required with information on how to apply for this online.

Travel Insurance

Please ensure that you have adequate personal travel insurance to suit your requirements in place before you travel.

Global Health Insurance Card

A UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) gives you the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the European Union (EU).

UK-issued European Health Insurance Cards (EHICs) are still valid and offer the same cover as GHICs in the EU.

Once your EHIC has expired, you’ll be able to replace it with a GHIC.

NB – A GHIC/EHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance!
