Cyprus

Cyprus

The feeling of Cyprus is like a sunstroke - generously, dazzling, hot, but sooner or later dizzy. Especially if day and night to smack "Commandaria" (the oldest Cypriot wine), eating a Turkish Delight, and dance with a glass on the head on Ayia Napa beach, and then lower the entire family budget in Kyrenia casino.
In general, here you can waste time and money in the most senseless way - no one will judge you. For Cypriots, easily carrying 330 sunny days a year, nothing is “too”. They do not understand how you can quit smoking and wine, follow a diet or rules of the road.
One of the most interesting entertainments in Cyprus is wreck diving (diving to inspect sunken ships), and its main attraction is the Swedish ferry Zenobia. The ship was wrecked in 1980 in the area of ​​Larnaca Bay and is a habitable artificial reef. As a bonus: 108 submarine trucks (cargo that had vanished together with “Zenobia”) parked at a depth of 40 meters. In addition to the wreck-objects on the seabed, you can "study" and ancient architecture: the ancient harbor in Amathus, museum values ​​in the Gulf of Amphora and the Amphitheater, inaccessible from the coast near Paphos.
In Cyprus, the left-hand traffic, and at first it is confusing. It takes time to get used to the idea that you are not going on an opposite. It takes time to get used to that the turn signals are included on the right, and on the left - the wipers. It takes time to unlearn the search for a safety belt on the left and the gearbox on the right. But you get used to it quickly, turn on the wipers instead of turn signals a couple of times and, consider an already experienced driver.
It also helps that all rented cars in Cyprus have red numbers. Local such label says that you need not only to be ready for anything, but to understand and forgive. There was even a story on one of the forums, as Cypriots knowingly stopped and waited for the tourist to finish circling the ring against the coat.
We, in general, were lucky: we arrived at Easter, and the roads were empty. At the same time, not a single store worked, and there were no people on the streets either. Indescribable feeling of an empty island.
Kyrenia fortress is perfectly preserved and looks like a real fortress to this day. In the halls, which were previously occupied by the soldiers, now the exposition telling about the history of the fortress.
