SAVING MONEY
Holidays can be expensive for families so
here are some top tips to help you keep
your costs down.
Air-con and electricity surcharges
• Avoid these by using air conditioners
wisely: set the temperature to a
reasonable level (24C is about right).
• Don’t leave them on when you are
away from, or outside, the property.
• Use the ‘sleep’ or ‘timer’ setting if you
have one, this will run them for a fixed
period while you get to sleep and then
they will turn themselves off.
Shopping
• Larger supermarkets often have deals
and multibuys which will help you keep
shopping bills down.
• If you don’t want to go to the major
supermarkets in Pissouri, Paphos or
Limassol, try Mandria market
on the B6 towards the airport - they
have a good range of products and are
family-run.
Golfing
• Ask courses about their Twilight deals,
4-ball deals and midweek competitions,
they often work out great value especially in peak periods.
• The 4-ball special offer is particularly
good value at Elea Estate.
Beaching
If you plan on lots of visits to the
beach then buy your own umbrella for
shade to save paying rental each time.
Bottled water
Buy a couple of bottles to start you off
and then refill them from the tap and
keep them in the fridge - the drinking
water in Cyprus is perfectly safe.
Eating out
• If you want to save money on eating
out, be sure to present your 8509
magazine at participating eateries.
• Village tavernas and eateries offer the
best value for money and you won’t
have to go far - Pissouri, Pissouri Bay,
Kouklia and Mandria all have good
choices of value for money restaurants
and tavernas.
Sport lessons for kids
Ask about group tuition for kids for
tennis, golf & soccer at the Resort; these
work out great value and a social option.
