My husband and I, along with our 17 & 15 year old are thinking of visiting Cyprus for the first time in October. We have thought about all inclusive as we thought it may prove cheper in the long run but can't seem to find any rooms that would accommodate 4 of us. Does anyone have any ideas? Alternatively, could anyone recommend a villa/apartment in this area, I've heard that Polis & Latchi are quite nice.
Also, whats the weather normally like in October?

Thanks

Hi everyone my first post on here, hope its as freindly as it looks.
My wife, her parents myself and our little 6 month old daughter (now) so add on as many months as appropriate for time of travel)) are seriously contemplating going to cyprus (paphos) early this year, we have considered as early as march but that depends on weather and wether theres much open then.

So my questions? firstly taking our little toddler, we are contientous of what we feed her in regards to much salt and sugar, and like to give her fresh ingredients if we can and of course is only just weaning at the moment so has anyone any experience of taking children this young, are there any concerns or tips to offer? secondly march, I know its not going to be blisteringly hot but is it a comfortable tempreture / sunny? and is everything open/ as available as it would be later on in the year?

depending on the response regarding time of year we might consider going about may time, I assume that would be warmer. Any info would be great thx. Karl.

Cyprus tops EU state for contribution of tourism to the economy
By Patrick Dewhurst
Published on January 7, 2010


.
CYPRUS is the most specialised hospitality country in Europe, with over 17 per cent of the workforce,or 38 out of every 1,000 people employed in the sector, it emerged yesterday.
According to a Eurostat report, Cyprus tops the charts in terms of value added to the economy by hotels and restaurants.
Cyprus has 735 tourist establishments with an average bed capacity of 119.
The report shows that 12.2 per cent of value added to Cyprus business economy (excluding finance) came from this sector. This is more than twice that of Ireland, which had the next highest share.
The report explains this specialisation is due to various factors. It says "Specialisations within this activity are strongly related to climate, natural or man-made attractions (beaches, mountains, castles, etc), as well as proximity to a critical mass of potential customers (in particular for restaurants and bars)"
In addition to hospitality related workforce and value added, the report also reveals that in 2007 visitors to Cyprus booked longer stays than anywhere else in Europe. The average number of nights spent in hotels by foreigners was over a week, while foreign visitors to most other member states spend between two and four days.
Resident vacations were actually below the European average, despite there being adequate infrastructure. The report suggests that this might be because domestic travel is likely to be on business, or reflect people spending long weekends on holiday, neither of which applies to a small island.
Comparing the average number of nights spent with the number of inhabitants on the island, reveals the "tourism intensity". Cyprus, perhaps unsurprisingly, was nearly six times the EU 27 Average, and second only to Malta.
The report will no doubt make for uncomfortable reading for the island's economists, as they reveal Cyprus' heavy reliance on foreign tourism. With the latest CTO figures showing more than a ten per cent drop in tourist arrivals and a corresponding 17 per cent decline in revenue for, it seems Cyprus could be particularly badly hit this year, with many of those employed in the hospitality becoming redundant, as many are already.
The report shows that the hotels and restaurants workforce is atypical across the EU, as it has a relatively high proportion of women and part-time workers. “This may reflect employment
flexibility, with considerable opportunities for those seeking work outside of the normal nine to five routine for example, students,” it said.
There is a silver lining in the report, however. The figures show that Cyprus is one of the most competitive European countries in terms of tourism, with a developed infrastructure and wealth of natural resources such as beaches and mountains.
The report also reveals one strong area for potential growth
