I'm 65 and have never had a holiday in the EU anywhere. Ive had 3 days at EuroDisney which I hated and have never ever wanted to go to places that are hot, crowded, commercialised, or foreign. Those timeshare people asked me where I would like to go but they didn't have anywhere for me in Alaska or Greenland or Iceland so no thanks.

The problem is Lee you have now experienced Australia lol! Too many of these Holiday destinations have been totally ruined, they are not wealthy places and now depend on tourism to stay afloat because they have tasted the tourist dollar and want more and more at the visitors experience and expense. Take a look at Bali or Phuket over our side, totally ruined within the past 10-15 years.

We went to Paphos last year in early October for the first time and stayed near the Tomb of Kings and to be fair the area wasnt too bad , the food was very good , the nightlife was decent and it was very reasonably priced so we left fairly satisfied with the place I am only going off our experience and as we like to visit different places I dont think I would return but no way was it the worst place we have been to

I first visited Paphos in the early Eighties. My father was posted I. Dhekelia with the army. I was studying at university and visited my parents for long summer holidays. I often visited Paphos. And in the days it was really undeveloped and pretty - there used to be a famous resident pelican in the harbour. I have been back in Cyprus a few times since. I feel it has been overdeveloped. Sad. Food in Cyprus is fantastic - mezedes are great.

I've live on Cyprus for 15 years, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for a holiday destination especially if you have kids, the facilities here are just crap, and seriously expensive especially water parks. Car rental is a ripoff too. If you are the type who likes to explore then the island has plenty to offer for the adventurous. But if you are going to hang around the resorts prepare to be disappointed. You have come in the off season so it is more of a building site.

You said you didn’t understand fishing. I live in the beach in a southern state of America. There are fisherman and guys who fish. You’re watching guys that fish. Their objective is to look at the ocean and relax, and if they catch a fish.. A great bonus! They’re away from their wife and have peace and quiet. I skipped the fishing part and just look at the ocean. Much more efficient. Rewatch the video and look at your face when you saw the sunset. The guys that fish experience that every minute
