Holiday Villas for let in Cyprus, Come Experience the Real Magic
Holiday Villas for let in Cyprus, Come Experience the Real Magic
by Tim Martins
The beautiful island of Cyprus offers an excellent blend of a mystical ancient culture and a modern thriving European community. The Cyprus coast is full of stunning beaches and inland you will see the most amazing mountain peaks and smell the abundant lemon groves and extensive vineyards. Sites include stone villages like the ancient ruins of the bygone civilization. Cyprus is home to a whole range of luxurious villas and other quality dwellings as we are about to find out.
The Pissouri villas are found on the southern part of the island. Pissouri is split into dual communities and the bay area is just a stones throw away from the village itself. On the whole it is a residential area of both wine producers and farmers. There are also excellent Cyprus villas for rent in this region.
These villas are in close proximity to Pissouri beach area. There are quite a few shops, supermarkets, a posh 5 star hotel, health spas and a local bank near these Pissouri villas. These villas nestled amongst the vineyards, are generally sea facing so that the visitors enjoy a good view of the sea. They are close to many water sporting activities and sand-bathing areas. Most of these villas have gardens, private pools and a dramatic hilly background.
Aiya Napa Villas: The villas in Aiya Napa town are mostly situated in residential areas; the famous Aiya Napa water park is just few minutes' drive in a car. The Nissi beach is close at hand with many water-sporting events. The Aiya Thekla beach that is popular for its different varieties of turtles and colorful fishes is also couple of minutes from the township.
Should you be on the hunt for holiday villas for rent in Cyprus, this town has beautiful modern villas for rent with air con, modern kitchens, spacious lounges with fireplaces, adaptable beds for children, private pools, and the most amazing bedrooms. Located just a couple of minutes from the centre of the town, these villas offer the most amazing views of both the sea and hilly surrounding areas.
In the Greek village of Agios Tychonas the villas are situated a really tranquil setting in a residential backdrop of the Limassol district. This tradition in style village also provides the most of modern amenities and its closeness to the beach makes it a very popular resort.
The Limassol district boasts of wonderful landscapes, lovely sandy beaches and rich cultural villages with vineyards and olive orchards. The temperature is more or less pleasant all through the year. If you visit the island, do try the holiday villas for rent in Cyprus villages for a heavenly change from the hustle bustle of a city life.
The villas are in an ideal situation close to the crystal blue seas, hotels, spas, golf as well as a variety of historical places including castles and museums. You could even mingle with the local residents and pick up some of the local lingo and their customs.
So I would like to emphasise that your time in Cyprus would be incomplete should you not stay in a rented villa somewhere on this exotic island. Tourists are really made to feel welcome on this paradise island with its vast culture and natural beauty. A definite must would be Agios Tychonas which is among the oldest of villages in the regions of Southern Cyprus. So go ahead and experience the holiday of a lifetime by renting a villa in Cyprus.

Hotel and Shopping Tips to Enhance your Luxury Travel Experience in Italy
Hotel and Shopping Tips to Enhance your Luxury Travel Experience in Italy
by Virginia Morgan
Italy is consistently in the top five luxury travel destinations for American Express Vacation clients. Italy is full of history, beginning with the ancient Roman Empire, to the rise of the Vatican, to the Italian renaissance. Traveling to Italy requires certain tips to make your luxury travel vacation enjoyable, and hassle-free.
Hotel Tips
Though traveling to Italy is quite safe. However, it's advisable and useful to gather some basic Italy travel tips. There are hundreds of small luxury hotels of the world and the cities of Italy have plenty to choose from. Some Italian hotels, and nearly all hotels in Rome, have at least one staff member who speaks English. Search out this person to ask for additional tips, such as great dining spots, local sights, public transportation and shopping areas. Staying in touch with family and friends can be expensive in Italy, especially if you call from your hotel. Keep in mind that American cell phones will not work without special international services or devices. And since hotels tend to overcharge for long-distance and international calls, it is best to make such calls from public phones, using international calling cards. Staying in a luxury hotel is quite fun, but if you have already been there and done that, it's never too late to consider booking one of the many available luxury world cruises.
Shopping Tips
One big draw for Italian tourists on a luxury travel vacation is the shopping tour. Consider booking one of these guided tours, instead of charging off on your own. These shopping tours offer travelers a more comfortable way to shop 'til you drop. Most of these tours include transportation to several different shopping districts and stores. Your guide will speak both English and Italian, in order to mediate your shopping experience. Yes, your major credit cards, such as American Express, Visa and Master Card, will work. But keep in mind that most American credit cards will charge a hefty currency fee, and use the most unattractive exchange rates. The best way to be safe and save money would be to use a combination of Euro Travelers Checks, Euros in cash and a credit card. Pick Pocketing can be an unfortunate reality of modern travel, so spreading the type of money you carry is the best choice.
Most stores and shops in Italy have operating hours that can be considered different, at least in comparison to what is expected in the United States. Normally, most Italian shops are open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stores are usually closed between 1 and 3:30 p.m., to allow employees a chance to have a family lunch. Stores usually reopen around 3:30 or 4 p.m., and finally close around 7:30 to 8 p.m. In large cities and tourist areas, there is a tendency to stay open from 9.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m., with possible variations from town to town. Keep in mind that shopping etiquette in Italy is much different than in the United States. When shopping for clothing, take note that many stores will not allow shoppers to try on shirts and blouses. Also, there is a size discrepancy, so make sure that an attendant measures your body before you purchase. It is also customary to tip attendants if they are personally assisting you with fittings and selection. Whether shopping or relaxing in a small luxury hotel, a customary tip can go a long way!
Your accommodations are often considered one of the most important parts of your luxury travel vacation, so use these tips to make the most of your upscale hotel stay. When you use these American Express Tour tips to experience the best of small luxury hotels and high class shopping, you can enjoy yourself with no strings attached!
