Yes = Nai (n-eh)
No = Oxi (oh-hee)
Please = Parakalo
Hello = Yassou (informal) Yassas (polite)
Thank you = efharisto (Ehf-har-ee-stoh)
May I have = boro na egho (egho is a soft g, not like saying egg it's hard to describe).
Cypriot Greek is the same, they just have different intonations and slightly different pronounciation.
Glad you're having fun, only 2 months till I go back to my little paradise!
Thank you for that. Has served me well the last few days.
Went to Fig Tree bay yesterday and the whole family had a thoroughly enjoyable on the beach which is very nice. I even did some parasending for the first time which was a surreal experience, it is soo quiet 500ft up yet you can see all the hustle and bustle below.
Protaras, althought commercialised, is a nice place.
Went to the Waterpark in Ayia Napa today, had a great time although despite factor 15 and 25 sun lotion applied 3 times during the day, my neck/shoulders/arms/legs all feel as though they have set on fire, this Cyprus sun is relentless ladies and gentlemen.
We hired a car so I thought would drive through Ayia Napa on the way (instead of just going along the highway) as it has intrigued me as none of the locals have a good word to say about it.
In my view, the locals were right, Skegness in the Sun was my thought, such a shame.
We are driving down to Paphos tomorrow from Protaras, anywhere of significance to look out for on the way?
I would also like to add that the Cyprus locals are soooo friendly, taxi drivers can't do enough to help you (even if you have bartered the price with them) and when going into a local shop yesterday, my 1 year old was a little grumpy so the shop owner gave him a lollipop to cheer him up, kind indeed.
When at the waterpark today, my little girl fell over in the toilets so the attendent gave her a chocolate bar, you very rarely see that back home.
I am going to miss this place greatly..... 4 more days left of an amazing holiday, woop.
