On the island of Cyprus, tourists flock. With its turquoise lagoons and mild climate, it is a popular destination for French holidaymakers.
No need to go to the end of the world. In the Mediterranean, a small member country of the euro zone displays temperatures above 30 degrees in the middle of November. It’s less and less of a secret: in Cyprus, all you have to do is listen to find French people on vacation. “We leave the French gray for the sweetness of Cyprus“, comments a vacationer on the beach.
The Coral Beach hotel is 90% full, a first since the start of the pandemic, with a very strong rebound in the number of French tourists. “We have four direct flights per week from France“, explains Michael Pombas, the director of the establishment.
To make the most of the sun, you have to take the boat, essential to access the end of the Akamas peninsula and discover its paradisiacal lagoons. Charline Camus-Nicolas owns a boat rental business and her 18 boats are rented to tourists. With this new breath, Cyprus hopes to regain its record attendance of 2019 as of next year.
