Swimming at Aphrodite Club in Erimi when the summer hits us and it's just too hot to do anything else. Books: anything by Lee Child and Elisabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody adventures in Egypt). Movies: Stargate Saturday Night Fever Midnight Express and loads I can never think of when someone asks me this question.... Music: God - where do I start???? Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, most 70's & 80's stuff and some 90's. What happened in the 20's - well most of the previous stuff got remixed! My favourite song just now is Mercy by Duffy, though.

http://www.cypruswithbabies.com We offer baby equipment for hire in the Limassol tourist areas, an ideal solution if you are coming on holiday with pre-school age children or visiting family relatives already resident in Cyprus.

Ski and sunbathe in winter in Cyprus? - Yes, you can!
Did you know it's possible to ski in Cyprus during February or March?
You can generally ski at Mount Olympus during these 2 months (subject to snowfall, of course)!
There are 2 main ski areas and although they are not the most challenging, a day out to the mountains can provide some great entertaintment.

Chem's Tours.

We can help you out.
Or, if you want to see the historical sites in Limassol districts and don't want to drive yourself - give us a shout. Fancy a trip to the Donkey Sanctuary, maybe?
We can take you and you can travel just like a "local" - in a διπλο καμβινο (that's a double cabin pickup truck). No A/C - so you will have to drive with the windows down and an arm sticking out of the side window and will look truly Cypriot.
Chem's Tours can take up to 4 people in the truck + the driver.
