Prices for entertainment and excursions
Regardless of the choice of hotels and the efforts of their administration, tourists cannot and should not sit within four walls. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify in advance the cost of specific entertainment. Euros are circulating in Cyprus, and it is necessary to decide before departure whether the money will be changed in Russia or on the spot.
100% of the island's beaches are available free of charge. The government has set flat rates for the payment of umbrellas and sun loungers. Each such item can cost a maximum of 2 euros 50 cents. As for the entertainment itself, there are no fixed prices, but the choice is much more varied.

An adult ticket costs 13 EUR, a child ticket costs 7 EUR.
Choosing boat trips with swimming in the direction of Famagusta as an entertainment, you will have to pay from 15 to 35 euros. The fee depends on the duration and program of the trip. When traveling to Paphos in autumn, we recommend using overland excursions on our own. They are organized in a group or in a personal (using a private car) form. You can travel in a group for at least 50 - 70 EUR. The highest price will need to be paid to those traveling to the northern part of the island or going to Israel.
Very often, in reviews on the forums, tourists are advised to order excursion tours in local firms on the spot or through specialized sites, so it is more interesting and a minimum of time when traveling to shops.
In an individual format, the service will be more flexible, you can see much more, but such programs are more expensive. The minimum bet is € 88. If you order a large-scale tour with the provision of transport by guides or organizations, you will need to pay 200 - 250 euros. The rate is set for the trip, not for the participants, and therefore the cost is evenly distributed among the group of travelers. Despite the reduced price compared to a group trip, it should be noted that the comfort of an individual trip will be even higher.
