then you'll only be looking at flights from then on, you save a lot of money and who wants to stay in a hotel anyway? It's a lot better having your own place to visit. for all destinations will have increased by the same percentage.Īt least, once you have the house sorted out and furnished etc. Last year I think the exchange rate against the Euro was something like 1.58 to the GBP whereas today it's about 1.21 or thereabouts which is a 20% reduction in spending power.Īlso the fuel hike in prices will affect the cost of flights which will be passed down to the customer.īecause of Cyprus' location, ie at the far eastern end of the Med, historically, it's had to struggle to compete with other, nearer Mediterranean resorts and this year is no exception.


Martin, holiday bookings are considerably down on last years for several reasons, mainly the cost because Cyprus has gone onto the Euro and the GBP is currently not looking good. If you can let us know where you want to fly from then folks may have more specific suggestions. Whilst there is an economic downturn and the cost of fuel is rocketing,how can they be charging these prices?Yes it is now the school holidays but people are still staying that a lot of the main Cypriot resorts are well down on bookings?We had a week last year in July and it is almost double in price this year!Īnyone else notice this or have any suggestions?Īs you want to come in 2 weeks, try leaving it until the last minute to get the cheapest (or least expensive) deals. We were looking at coming out to Cyprus in the next couple of weeks to arrange to take over our property.This has come sooner than expected and we have started looking at package deals for one week.I cannot believe the prices!We had hoped to complete some formalities to enable us to stay in the house in October.
