Tourists in Cyprus - UK dominance!
The largest amounts of tourists visiting Cyprus each year come from the United Kingdom. During 2008 already over 693,000 Brits have visited Cyprus. Considering the next highest was Russia with 94,000 the UK’s dominance of the market is obvious. In July alone the number of visitors exceeded 187,000 people. Just less than 50% of those stay in hotels and the next largest bracket of accommodation is holiday apartments and tourist villages, the remainder choosing to stay with family or friends. The dominant sector of the market is, of course, hotels but self-catering apartments also occupy a large chunk of the market. Larnaca is a very popular resort for self-catering accommodation as it is slightly smaller and quieter than the larger resorts like Paphos.
The main hotels and self-catering complexes in Larnaca are situated along Larnaca Bay. Hotels in Larnaca offer a full range of options at all levels and costs. There is only one five-star hotel but there are a lot of other options from four-star through to budget both in and around the town.
If you are looking for self-catering accommodation then there is plenty on offer both within the town and on the outskirts. It is normal with self-catering accommodation to be able to tailor accommodation to certain needs such as different sizes of party and any kind of budget. So, you can rent any number of apartments in purpose built self-catering complexes which normally have there own on-site facilities such as swimming pools and tennis courts.
Another advantage of using self-catering accommodation is the freedom that you get without having to fit into a hotels schedule and with self-catering you get more of an experience of feeling what it would be like to own a property in the area as more and more people are purchasing apartments or villas after several years of visiting.
