Instructions
Step 1
The best way to start planning an independent trip to Cyprus is to buy air tickets. This is usually one of the most expensive items of expenditure, so people buy tickets in advance. You can find great deals on major search engines such as skyscanner.com. On such sites it is possible to "subscribe" to the chosen direction, so that every morning you will receive the current cost of tickets for the route you are interested in by e-mail. If you choose them in advance, then within a month or two you can catch a very profitable option!
Step 2
Next, when the tickets are purchased, proceed to booking the hotel. You can search for hotels on a variety of sites, where the maximum number of options is usually collected, among which there are various special offers. If you are lucky, you can book a very good hotel for a promotion, so it will cost you significantly less. The most important thing when looking for hotels on such aggregators is to carefully read the terms and conditions. First, pay attention to the penalties that will be applied to you in the event of a cancellation. Anything can happen, and it's better if the cancellation is free. Secondly, read the description of the hotel itself, its reviews, a list of paid and free services. It happens that inexpensive hotels provide paid Internet, breakfast and other services on their territory, so the total cost of living is higher than in more expensive hotels with free services.
Step 3
Russian citizens need a visa to visit Cyprus. It is very easy to get it. The application is submitted via the Internet, the decision on the visa is made within one day. The visa must be printed out, otherwise you may have problems at the airport. You can also visit Cyprus with a Schengen visa, if it is already in your passport.
Step 4
Insurance for visiting Cyprus is strictly required. It does not have such strict requirements as the Schengen one, but it is better that it comply with them.
Step 5
Take care of how you get from the airport to the hotel. Some hotels offer a shuttle service, but if there is no such service, you can order a taxi. It is important to know in advance how to do this and how much it will cost. You can also get there by a comfortable city bus.
Step 6
It remains only to collect things! Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. Holidays in Cyprus are distinguished by the comfort and the sense of leisurely tranquility typical of the Greeks. It is best to book excursions on the spot: the choice is wide enough not to get bored.
