Thx, A.

Had cod and chips last night at Santa Marina at Coral Bay strip. Great as always. And very friendly service. Might not be as cheap as some of the places in Chloraka but the ambience of the location of course is quite different.

My teenager son recently completed his Padi certificate in the Persian Gulf in Qatar and now would like to have some dives here. Preferably Paphos area of the island. Has anyone got recommendations?

Thank you. A.

A taxi will be around Euro 125 - we used www.iwantataxicyprus.com several times and can highly recommend. Alternatively, the cheapest one day one way car rental (smallest car) is around Euro 80 - if we have not much luggage we sometimes do that too.

Rocky gets our vote for both Paphos or Larnaca airport drop offs as well. A.

Would also recommend them - very pleased with our rug even after many years of hard (ab)use (kids)...
