Cyprus

Not remotely Megalithic - There are some gorgeous museums/galleries of icons.
Also the Knights Templars are still in evidence in weird symbolism in the churches
And spectacles are very very cheap there, so go over with a prescription :)

Wow! Sounds like it may be worth staying an extra day... Kalavasos Tenta bronze age settlement sounds ace. Not sure where it is though.

I think the RAF base is half way between Larnaca and Paphos, but i know little of Cypriot geography. Yet.

Have to confess to liking rock-cut tombs very much, so despite their touristiness I may have to check those out.

Bugger - I've only just got myself a new pair of specs at huge expense :-(
Thanks all!
Love

Yes, I forgot to mention the spectacles, about half the price of UK opticians. Beware the DVDs too. There are loads of shops and market stalls that sell CDs and DVDs very cheaply, but the quality is awful. Many of the DVDs have clearly been made with a hand held camera in the cinema. My son bought some and ended up throwing them away in digust.

If you think you might go to the Venus Beach let me know and I'll email Tassos and tell him you're a VIP.

Anyway Jane, whatever you do, have fun.
