Just a quick hello
Hi all
Just a quick hello, we have just joined the site.
Myself and hubby will be setting off for Cyprus in the second week in April, (all being well ) we have decided not to get there in the normal way ie fly. We will be travelling through France, Italy, on to Greece and then to Cyprus, (by any method we can travel by ) Yes we agree we may be a bit mad but life begins at 40 or so they say LOL )
Anyway we are hoping to make Cyprus our home after loads and loads of research, talking to people, book reading , blog reading, goverment research, (you get the drift).
Life is to short, so we are making the move why we can!!!!!!!
Loved reading the info on this site, and all advice is welcome.
cheers

Thats the best thing i have heard all day, beats a boring 4.5 hr flight i guess, just dont get delayed climbing the Alps or entertaining the vast French sense of humour, and dont eat too much in Italy! why not skip greece and sail from Italy? be there quicker me thinks..
Where abouts are you going to settle?

Re: Just a quick hello
Hi Timbo
i carnt afford to eat anymore im hoping to shift a stone on the way over.
We have someone we kind of know in coral bay (a freinds dad). he has said he can get us some cheap accomadation.
Iv tried to find a ferry from Italy direct to cyprus but I carnt seem to find one anywhere. The services I have found seem to have been dispanded.
We have found a ferry from Italy to Corfu and then Corfu to Patri greek mainland, bus from Patri to Athens, and then fly with Cyprus airways from Athens in to Larnica.
The good thing is working out the prices it should be about 360 euros total for the 2 of us, for all of the above.
We dont really want to decide to much yet as to where we settle, going to keep the options open (you know jobs and that ).
Johns a mechanic and lecturer in mechanics, he's aleady been told by various garges in cyprus to contact when we get there, with a least 2 that look like real possibilties.
Anyway we will worry about that when we get there.
We are looking forward to our first beer in cyprus.

Larra.
Dont know where your going but know doubt you will bump into a guy called Morrice from Glasgow, he is amazing and knows everything about Cyprus, so if you meet him tell him you know his best friend from Clarkston in Glasgow. He will know wot you mean. Great guy, he will show you best places to go.
Good luck.

Hi Larra and arranlass
thanks for your replys, starting to get the jitters now as its geting closer !! LOL
thanks for the advice and yes if we meet Morrice along the way we will send him your regards.
Madly trying to empty the flat now of all the rubbish you gather!!
iv tried the ferrys from Italy to cyprus ditect and to be honest iv struggled, but never mind we dont mind a detour around Greece. We should be travelling for 3 months so we will see loads
Thanks for the offer of accomadation, the prob is we dont know when we will be getting to Cyprus so i should emagine it will be rented by then.
thank anyway
