Cyprus: First Impressions of Paphos

For my birthday trip this year, I chose to visit Cyprus. I knew very little about the country, but it had been recommended to me by an acquaintance. Plus, I knew it was going to be warmer than Germany in February. 

We found a direct flight through Ryanair from Memmingen to Paphos. After learning that they drive on the left hand side of the road (due to British influence), we opted not to rent a car. It limited what we could see and do during our stay, but it also kept us from overdoing it during our relatively short time in the area. 


There are a plethora of resorts in Paphos. But when I found an adults-only resort with ocean views, I was sold. Amavi was a delightful spot to call home for the week. Service was amazing and we were upgraded to a room with its own private pool. Unfortunately the water was too cold to take advantage of the pool, but it afforded us with a beautiful view of the ocean.


We arrived in the late afternoon and immediately got outside to enjoy some sunshine! It was super breezy on the first day, but the views walking from the resort to the harbor area were just what I needed after gloomy Germany. 



I had scoped out a lunch spot in advance. It has been a WHILE since we have eaten Chinese food, so I thought let's give Chloe's a try. Because it was a late lunch, the restaurant was completely empty when we walked in. I loved the little extra attention to detail with the branded orange slice in my Spritz. The food was delicious and the service was very good.
