From the word "go "Helen was in communication and extremely helpful. Apartment was easy to find with the instructions supplied. George was in contact too, thank you. Weather was excellent the full two weeks. You definitely need a car. Unfortunately for us, there was nowhere to walk of an evening. Pyla doesn't have a lot to do in the village . We only went the night we arrived for something to eat, very limited. Would recommend Oroklini, lovely village. Plenty of supermarkets, bakeries etc and lovely to walk around.
Larnaca is a 20minute drive. We love the seafront there but you definitely need that car! Not impressed with the beaches locally. Very stoney and not that clean.Nicosia takes around 45mins. Busy city and trip over into the Turkish area wasn't worth the trip.
We loved sitting on the spacious terrace for breakfast and in the evening at sunset. During the day, if we were in ,it was just so peaceful. Unfortunately it seems the University has purchased a lot of apartments on the complex for students and staff and we were disturbed a lot at night with noise ,and early morning. Particularly the apartment below. This was disappointing as because of the description , we thought we would have the restful holiday we needed. It improved slightly after we complained. The only person we spoke to, a lady who lived there, said it was lovely when the University was on holiday and the students left. We didn't use the pool area as there were always students around and we didn't think the area was that clean. We found beer cans around one morning.
The apartment although nice, spacious etc ,wasn't what we would describe as luxurious. English tv is basic .The patio furniture is very comfortable , which was great as we stayed out there a lot. Must be lovely in summer when the nights stay light longer.
