They say that traveling opens your eyes and I think that’s true. It shows you different places, cultures and a different way of living. I would think that the country where I live is not very good (in many ways but let’s not talk about that), but then on my travel, I get to experience that some people live in much more difficult setting than I do in my hometown. For example, where I was staying, the water would run only cold after a certain time in the evening. I’m sure that it may differ if you’d be staying at a 5 star hotel or a very expensive luxurious apartment, but for most normal people and most normal hotels that is the case. I always prefer to stay in the “normal” places when I travel. Like I’m not a fan of tourist hotel resorts where you don’t get to really meet the culture, but rather meet just more turists. It can be good for a relaxing vacation, but I prefer to explore right now. Anyways, the cold shower was definitely difficult for me haha, when I showered late before bed I had to overcome myself a lot, but I guess it can be a good thing. Then also in that island, but also most of greece as far as I know, they don’t flush paper down the toilet, but rather use a bin, because of their old and thin pipes. Another very difficult thing for me haha, it just felt wrong for me 😅 and I kept forgetting too as it’s a very automatic thing when you flush it your whole life. So yeah, I loved the sunshine and the sea but I really appreciate the fact that I get warm water at home anytime I need it and our pipes being able to hold a lot more than a paper haha. Regardless of that, the island was beautiful and I have to say that local people are very appreciative of tourists and they were very kind and helpful everytime. By traveling you get to compare different people, countries, cultures and way of living and that itself opens your eyes.
Anyways, I definitely recommend Cyprus for a sunny vacation with a clear blue sea ❤️😊
