Recently we bought a studio apartment in Kouklia, which is about 15km from Paphos. Our intention was to rent it out and we have so far done very well with this. We’ve had August and September fully booked and a few days in October...
The Dead Sea is actually a hypersalinated lake, so whoever thought to call it a sea was probably hoping the snappy title would catch on, and it did. The Dead Lake sounds a bit boring compared to The Dead Sea. In many minds The Bermuda Triangle is...
Last week I flew to Jordan for a short break. The plan was to spend a couple of nights at a hotel at the Dead Sea to chill and relax, then go on to spend a few nights in Amman and visit the sights there. All was fine and all went to plan, after a...
