Must-sees in Cyprus

  • Larnaca
  • One of the most laid back tourist spots in Cyprus; this beach resort is a sun-seekers paradise. With a local flamingo heavy salt lake nearby, an ancient and crumbling Turkish Quarter and multiple historic sites and churches around, you’ll have heaps to explore beyond the shores of this seaside delight.
*
  • Troodos Villages
  • Set among the Troodos Massif mountain region of Cyprus’ southwest are a set of quaint and beautiful old stone villages. Wander the cobblestoned alleys to discover some of Cyprus’ most amazing ancient churches and monasteries adorned with vibrant frescoes and wall paintings that are hundreds of years old.

The person working at Travelex was very good and showed us how to look for counterfeit money. The only thing I didn't think was good was the lack of small notes available. While we were given a solution it involved going to the airport and obtaining smaller notes with a receipt. Even a couple of smaller notes would have been good at the point of purchase.

The process is easy and the delivery quick. The exchange rate could be marginally better but it is not ridiculous.

No Hassles Getting Foreign Cash and Money Cards

The exchange rate offered was marginally better than the others that we looked at. The required identification and the process were explained; and the money/cards were available when and where they said they would be.
