Tours to Cyprus from Almaty: prices from 639 000 ₸

Applied for a visa and hotel selection, last year we flew through this agency to the mainland ourselves, so I decided to book here without a second thought – Cyprus in August is hot as a frying pan, but the sea in the evening is just gentle, I even fell asleep on a lounger under a palm tree and only my forehead got burned because I took off my cap when I dozed off, and the local beer with tacos for pennies near the promenade is a bonus. Check-in was fast, room with a side view of the airport – honestly, I thought it would be noisy but I didn’t hear a single flight at night, instead every morning the smell of pastries from the cafe on the first floor woke me up, then we wandered around the old town for a couple of days and bought a bunch of junk like ceramic magnets and olive oil. Organization without complaints, all documents were given out, the transfer arrived on the dot, I’ll definitely go with them somewhere else again in spring I want to see the blooming almnd))

Can't even believe how fast everything got organised. Landed in Limassol and the first thing we stumbled on was a cafe with such loukoumades — finger-lickin good, mine even wanted to grab a kilo for my friend to take home. The sea is perfect for a kid, you walk in knee-deep and the sand is gentle like flour, no unexpected hole under your foot. But Paphos rules when it comes to excursions, Limassol is kinda quieter you know — well that's what we needed anyway. The hotel ain't new but they cleaned every day and folded the towels into swans, and in the morning I got sand in my eyes, I put on my glasses and they fog up from the AC in the lobby… The food was simple but fresh fruits I was snacking on around the clock at the beach. One time we sat in a taverna right by the sea, a guy at the next table was doing a crossword and washing it down with beer — the vibe was straight-up vacation (we were smashin wine for two days here, head's still a bit buzzy). Flew back past midnight the flight but no biggie I caught up on sleep at the airport right on my bags of magnets. Though getting olive oil through customs turned out to be a hassle, our line got held up like forty minutes over the tubes. They really earned their rating — didn't even have to touch the insurance, everything went such a smooth way))

Came back from Cyprus, and now I just don’t get how I ever lived without the Larnaca promenade and that crazy smell of pine and salt, the manager recommended us a beach further from the center where it’s not so noisy, and it turned out to be the best decision. The weather in July is perfect, the water is like warm milk so much that I didn’t even want to get out of it, so I didn’t even get a proper tan, spent all five days splashing around and going to eat at a taverna with a sea view, plus renting a car is no problem at all, the main thing is not to get behind the wheel with the local wine, which is really tasty and cheap there). Cyprus is a bomb

Guys, Paphos is like a whole separate universe, I've travelled through local agencies a lot and never seen service like this — the bus arrived right on the minute at the hotel, the guide kept quiet when needed and gave out info when you didn't need to bother him (that's a plus), they checked us in right away without the usual moaning about an early flight, and the excursion to Kourion just brought out that very feeling you go on holiday for – wind, stones, nobody around in spring and the sea roaring like a living creature. The organisation, overall, is a solid five, they even sorted out the insurance at the hotel reception, no need to run anywhere, came back happy as a clam (though I stood in the queue at Paphos airport for an hour, but that's not the agency's issue) so I definitely reccomend it

Went to Nicosia for four days, the city is calm and very green, though at the end of February the weather was still being fussy – sun one minute, then wind with rain, but fine for walking around, I even liked that there was no heat and no crowds, walked through the old town, touched the walls, climbed around all sorts of little streets. Only thing – breakfast at the hotel started at eight, and I wanted to leave earlier, but that’s, like, a small thing I’m ready to forgive for the sake of those views from the bastion and the tastiest coffee in a tiny coffee shop by the gate (found it by accident when I was hiding from the rain)

Walked into the travel agency just to ask about options for New Year – didn't plan on booking anything at all, but my eyes went wide and I decided it's better to escape to Cyprus than sit at home. And I didn't regret it, even though when we landed in Ayia Napa the town looked totally dead – everything closed, nasty wind off the sea, thought I'd made a mistake even bothering. But on the second day we found a local taverna where the owner practically dragged us inside, and man it was great there: warm wine, meze, they lit the fireplace for three tourists, the bartender told a ton of stories about winter Cyprus. Made it to the sea, climbed the rocks, wind so strong it nearly ripped my hat off, but they showed us the cape that you gotta see exactly in this season. So came back happy, the agent picked out exactly what I needed, and the service was decent, though I googled the hotel myself later))

Кипр в қарашада — бұл бөлек ән. Теңіз әлі жылы, жарайды, жаздағыдай ыстық емес, бірақ кіруге болады, еш қиындық жоқ. Турды Протарасқа алдым, және жұмыстан толық демалуға бір апта дәл жетті. Менеджер, айтпақшы, қонақүйді таңдауға көмектесті, сондықтан оған жеке алғыс — әйтпесе бір шеттегі қонақүйде чемодандарыммен қиналып жүрер едім. Жағалаумен серуендедім, жергілікті таверналарда тамақтандым — порциялар сондай үлкен, бір рет тіпті жеп бітіре алмадым. Бірақ жағажайдың қасында тамаша жартас бар, бәрі содан секіреді, көрініс сондай тамаша ;) Жалпы қалашық кішкентай, бірақ маған дәл сондай керек еді. Ауа-райы екі күн тіпті ыстық болды, шамамен twenty eight градус шығар, ал бір рет жаңбыр жауды, ештеңе етпейді, кафеде отырып шықтық. Жылы естеліктермен оралдым. Таңқаларлық, осыншама әсер қысқа сапарға қалай сыйып кеткен)

We were looking for a trip to Cyprus in Larnaca spontaneously, just wanted to catch the last warmth at the end of autumn, so we went into an agency near work, picked (straight from the catalog on the table) a five-day package, and didn't regret it once. The hotel turned out to be right by the sea and with breakfasts, though, the room had a view of the parking lot, but we didn't come there to stare at curtains, we walked along the promenade and old streets, so it even, well, didn't bother us at all. Came home happy and with a bag of souvenirs, though on the last day my head really ached from the sun, didn't even buy a panama hat, but I recommend it to everyone who wants that real relaxation!

Dad asked me to take him to the sea while it’s still warm, so I just popped into the agency near our house, and the manager happened to suggest Limassol instead of Paphos, saying it’s calmer there and just right for elderly folks. We were in Cyprus for five days, the plane landed smoothly and the transfer took only half an hour — that’s a definite plus, because long rides are hard on dad. The hotel was found decent, but the room smelled musty for the first two days for some reason, then it aired out, they said it was from the construction next door which you couldn’t hear at all during the day, but at night the ventilation hummed somewhere under the ceiling when you turned off the AC — a small thing but annoying, dad was grumbling. The food was varied and the mint tea just like at home, but the orange juice was way too watered down for such a resort. And the main thing of course was the evening walks along the promenade, my dad kept pulling out his old camera to shoot every palm tree, I swear he’s got a future as a blogger, lol. We went into the sea three times, the water was nicely warm even though at the end of November I was being a fool and didn’t wanna get in until dad made me, turns out it really is pleasant to swim. The zoo is small but they had those funny lemurs begging for food, my daughter asked to take a selfie with the hand-fed turtle, which they’d clearly aged a lot, dad said it’s like a hundred years old. The manager called back on the second day to ask how we settled in and pointed us to which bus to take to the historic center, if anything, extra thanks for that. The little streets are old and picturesque, I instantly felt like I was in some Asian movie rather than in the CIS — a strange feeling but what draws you in is that everything’s tidy and no dilapidation, even the railings are painted. As for downsides, only the souvenirs on the promenade are almost all the same type of magnets and they jack up the price double compared to the little shop in the old part right next to the flea market where dad haggled for that weird vase for six euros. The trip turned out better than I expected, I came back feeling like I should’ve taken eight days instead, and lack of time is always at least one small minus)

Went to Nicosia for work, needed to meet with partners, and along the way planned a tour around the area through a local agency in Astana, they sorted out a car and ferry for half a day. The capital of Cyprus is, of course, peculiar: on one side Greek cafes, on the other — a Turkish bazaar, and most importantly, don't forget your passport when crossing the buffer zone, it's like a quest. Came back satisfied, got everything done, and even that unpleasant aftertaste from losing my favorite scarf at the airport on the way back was worth it for the vibe of the bay I got to on the weekend!

Had to get a trip to Cyprus in Ayia Napa, booked it on a whim after an acquaintance said the conditions there were perfect for diving right now, last year I flew to Turkey and suffered through the flight so I was looking for something pricier but with decent service. Honestly surprised how fast everything was arranged — an hour and a half max, I didn't even expect that kind of speed, and an extra plus that they called the next day themselves to ask how my documents and reservation numbers were going, though I guess it's their job but still nice. Came back from there in early October with a completely black tan and a bunch of fotos of turtles on my phone, everything went smooth and without a single hiccup — so a five is honestly earned, I'll come back later for the next trip already in December

Didn't even expect it to be this good. The manager picked us a hotel right by the beach and I finally got enough sleep for the whole year, the silence was unreal, the only thing — breakfasts were monotonous but that's a trifle, at least the sea was warm even in late October and the water was clear to the very bottom, walked barefot on the sand every day and came back home reborn))

Cyprus stayed in my memory not for the beaches oddly enough but for the smell of pine trees on the trail to Aphrodite's rock, walking and thinking — people walked here a thousand years ago, and then the sun suddenly hit me, almost passed out, two euros for water from a vending machine, the AC in the hotel worked terribly but the breeze on the balcony saved it. The manager sorted everything out fast, called back herself to warn about the early flight, nothing to nitpick even despite the crowds on the promenade came back recharged))

Pervyi raz na Kipre, Ayia-Napa v avguste eto zhara konechno, no more prosto bomba. Menedzher v agentstve podskazal kakoi plyazh vybrat, chtoby ne tolkat'sya loktyami s tolpoi, za chto otdelno spasibo. Chto zapomnilos – eto voda, teplaya i prozrachnaya, kak budto stoish' v akvariume, rybki vokrug nog snayukayut, i etot zapakh soli i grecheskih trav, vot za etim i letel

Decided to go to Cyprus on a whim — picked a local agency just because of the nice price tag. Limassol clicked with me despite the heat: expected something more deserted and boring, but near the promenade it turned out there’s plenty of everything; a little bay across the road from the hotel saved the day because you could swim early in the morning and then not go near the adult pool till evening since it’s always taken over by kids with balls) And on top of that I managed to get sunburned on the second day in the most unexpected spot on the back of my head and spent a week catching stares from the bartender at the little restaurant in the old port,… the food there was excellent — they’d suggest having an aperol with local mead and snacking on calamari, sure they overcharge right in the center but a bit further the same thing costs half as much.

Кипрды өзім іздедім, бірақ қаншама нәрсені ескеру керек екенін көрген соң, тәуекелдемей, үйдегі бірінші агенттікке кірдім. Дәл Протарас керек болды, тыныш теңіз қаладым, машинасыз болса екен деп, жігіттер сұранысқа сай нұсқа тауып берді. Қонақ үй кішкентай болып тиді, бірақ жайлы, таңғы астары қарапайым, бірақ жағажайға асықпай басқанда үш минут. Суы — лазурь, жылы, әрі сол қиыршық тастар, соған жығылып жүрдім, бірақ шынайы еркіндік сезімі бәрін жауып тастады. Қанағаттанған, күнге күйген күйі қайттым, енді келесі жазға чемоданымды ойша жинап жатырмын. Қысқасы, хабарласыңыздар, өкінбейсіздер, өйткені сервис шынымен жоғары деңгейде, ал бұл ең бастысы

I needed to urgently exchange my passport before the flight and I came to the travel agency for advice — that was exactly what I was dealing with, the trip to Paphos was already hanging in my plans, but my heart wasn't in going without documents, so I sorted everything out right away, luckily there was still time to wander around. I took the tour there just so I wouldn't have to suffer with finding accommodation on my own, last time on Crete that was a nightmare — so I decided to just trust people this time, and here's the result. From the airport to the hotel we rushed by bus quickly, but the first day in the room the smell of dampness bothered me, like the AC hadn't been cleaned in a hundred years. Then I just stopped turning it on and opened the balcony — and everything became ok, and the sea was warm, not many people, the water clear even right by the shore, I was looking at the stones like in an aquarium. I didn't take the ruins excursion, went by taxi myself for 7 euro to the park, hung out among the ruins for a whole day — that's real power, I touched the columns and genuinely got goosebumps. Came back satisfied, everything worked out better than could be, I'd only blame myself for not taking sun pills — my shoulders got burned, but that's on me)

Needed Schengen visas, and they’re eternal hassle, so we just took a tour to Cyprus in Protaras – direct flights and no fuss, thought at least here we'd get lucky. overall fine, sea is clean, food at the hotel decent, but the guide on the excursion chattered nonstop, my head even started hurting, and we waited like forty minutes for the transfer from the airport, even though they promised it right away. Came back satisfied, but more like as a backup, won't go again, though the white sand beach – that’s a wow, nothing like that in Moscow anywhere, honestly))

I was surprised myself that Cyprus in February is so alive. The weather is weird: sun then sharp wind, but it didn’t stop us from walking. In Nicosia it’s great to wander the streets and stumble upon old doors that you just want to touch, even though they’re all covered in peeling paint. The divider between north and south — that’s really creepy, you stand on the neutral zone and feel like everything’s frozen, can’t describe it. I looked for food just by smell, walked into some shawarma place — that thin lavash there, mmm. I bought my husband a magnet with a donkey, though he only asked for water, well what can you do, it’s a souvenir. I came back happy, my legs don’t even hurt though I clocked quite a bit on the map during the day, probably over ten kilometersr. The organization from the agency was flawless, everything clear, vouchers sent right to email and the transfer was waiting at the airport)

We needed a proper warm January, so me and the wife picked Cyprus and Paphos specifically, we wanted quiet and a calm sea, not parties. The hotel itself we found already on the spot through a local agency, we booked transport with them too, and excursions, but nothing complicated about it. Came back satisfied, the weather was gorgeous and oranges right off the tree, though one really did turn out sour, but that's another story)

By spring I’d built up so much fatigue, I just wanted to lie by the sea and not run anywhere, so I chose Larnaca for its relaxed atmosphere and sandy beaches — the office suggested it was quiet and good for recovery. although no, I myself insisted on Cyprus online, and the folks at the agency quickly calculated the tour to fit my budget. Came back home, as they say, a "new person", the sea was warm-warm, I took an excursion to Fikardou, and spent hours strolling along the promenade without a rush, coffee in a takeaway cup — I really recommend this country, the services left the most pleasant impression!

Никосия мені таңғалдырды, тура айтамын. шекара қаланың дәл ортасында — будкаға келесің, паспортты көрсеттім, міне сен басқа елдесің, өзің де байқамай қалдың. Ескі кварталмен жүрдім, сондай тар көшелер, кейде қабырғаға қысылып тұруға тура келетін, машина өтуі үшін (олар жылдамдықты бәсеңдетпейді, сол жердің фишкасы болу керек). Ең көп базар ұнады, сонда дәмдеуіштердің иісі басыңды айналдырады, үйге бір дорба шафран сатып алдым — біздің базардағыдай ет жардым. Жалпы, тур ұйымдастыруы жағынан қалыпты болды, барлық трансферлер уақытында, ешқандай кідіріс жоқ, мен ең көп қорыққаным сол еді. Бірақ мына музей, бізді апарып тастаған — шынымды айтсам, бір сағатты аман алып қалуға болар еді, ішінде ешқандай қызық жоқ. Есіктердің көп фотосымен қайттым, олар сондай әдемі, көне, ою-өрнегі бар, және ауа-райына риза, маусым — тап-тамаша, ыстық бірақ төбеге көтерілмейді)

Well, went to Cyprus in Limassol, swam in the sea till I was blue and stuffed myself with local food, though at times it seemed the grass by the water's edge was moving suspiciously, but that's just me being paranoid after three days in the sun. the city itself is nothing special, but that promenade with palm trees and crowds of tourists, it kinda sucks all the authenticity out — but next to the hotel I found a tiny tavern where the owner came out himself and poured us homemade wine, now that was a wow-effect, not all this other stuff. Overall happy as a clam, even though one day there was a terrible downpoar and I had to sit in the room, but that's just me not guessing right in the weather lottery, solid five because I haven't remembered such warm evenings on the promenade in a long time)

ehala s s matem na yubiley, vybiralas dolgo, no vlipla vse kontsi v odnu nedelyu — i popala v pafos, gde solntse v fevrale okazalos nastoyashchim spaseniem. menedzher podobrala nam otel u samogo morya i ekskursiyu po stareyshim tserkvam, i ya dazhe uspela kupit domoi olimp — vostorg, konechno, no gory i vodu nikto ne otmenyal. s matem tak i ne uspela normalno pogovorit, zato naedlacy kiprskiy mead i poteryalos vremya okonchatelno, no za takoy otpusk i otsutstvie mysley esli poetomu tolko pyat

Went to Cyprus in Protaras, didn't guess the weather in January, but the sea and the silence — just what was needed for a reset. Took the hotel without meals, but there's a bunch of tasty places nearby where we had great lunches. The whole trip went off without ssurprises or any hiccups

Hotela prosto vybit sebe paru dney tishiny a to rabota zasosala sovsem, vot i kupila tur v Limasol. Gory tam ili more, ya pochti ne smotrela, glavnoe chtoby solntse i mozhno bylo vyrubit telefon na nedelyu.

Zaselilas ya i pervym delom v krovat, a v okno dul veter i pahlo chem-to sladkim s sosedney konditerskoy, eto dazhe bylo priyatnee chem vid na naberezhnuyu.

Buddy passed me the contacts for this agency, said their prices for Cyprus are decent and you won't get scammed. Took a tour to Protaras here because I was too lazy to monitor it myself, and they had a selection just for the request, so I went. Overall went fine: the sea is really great, transparent and warm, you just walk in and feel nothing but salt. But for my money I expected a bit more lively service at the hotel, the service is kinda wary, although the food was decent, that's a plus. Liked that it was hassle-free, came back satisfied but with a feeling it could've been more lively

Swam to my heart's content, the water really is crystal clear although in February you can't call it warm, but I didn't need it to be. Ayia Napa in winter is a treasure trove for those who don't like crowds, wandered along the promenade and counted seagulls, they're cheeky as hell there, almost fed one a sandwich from my hand — it snatched it and flew off, I was even stunned. Rented a car for a couple of days, drove around the island just for the sake of it, but when I passed by Cape Greco I almost stopped and burst into tears at the view — that's what Cyprus turns out to be like (had never been there before, this is the first time). Roads are narrow and scary in places, without the habit I was terrified to turn around in the mountains, but then I found a great taverna with locals where it was insanely tasty. Came back calm as a cucumber and pretty pleased I didn't waste my money, weather was overcast but personally I vibed with the atmosphere)

Flying to Cyprus for the first time, I just needed to change the scenery and clear my head after working on the project, so I didn't overthink it and just bought the first tour I came across departing from Almaty. I booked the excursion to Nicosia right on the spot, the city is like time stopped there, only the navigator kept glitchng in the narrow streets, I almost got lost because of it. But the views were just super, especially the view of the divided border from the observation deck, I've never seen anything like that

The tour organization itself was lacking — nobody met us at the airport, we had to figure things out on the spot, but Cyprus itself more than made up for it. Larnaca turned out to be somehow cozy and not at all flashy, a promenade with palm trees, I finally exhaled there after all this winter and work. The manager, by the way, was the only sane person at the agency, she at least honestly warned about the transfer nuances, for which she gets a special thanks. We went on a trip to the mountains, the views are insane, but the road is serpentine — I almost got carsick, so budget an extra half hour for stops. Overall I'm satisfied with the trip, the country is great, but the tour agency's service is worth a solid four at best, not the money I paid, that's why the rating is what it is, the place is gorgeous, the atmosphere has its own special vibe
