MAKING WINE IN THE CLOUDS

Cyprus is a beautiful place to visit. It is a country with beautiful beaches, expansive resort hotels, great restaurants, even casinos. There are plenty of good hiking opportunities and Cypriots are as a people relaxed, friendly, and always ready with a warm welcome and a smile. By far the majority of tourists visiting Cyprus are from Great Britain. There is a historic reason for the popularity with the Brits. Once it was a British colony. Second on the list are Israelis, probably because of its close proximity. It is quicker to fly to Larnaka than to Eilat. Let me say on behalf of all Israelis, we hope we arrive politely and leave a good impression. We have not always travelled with our manners, but let’s hope we are learning and that our image as tourists is improving.
