Coral Bay, Cyprus

Advantages: Very laid back, relaxing, clean beach, good choice of resturants
Disadvantages: Can be too quiet for young people!

...Coral Bay in Cyprus is one of my favourite places in the world. It is the perfect place to go to relax and unwind and you are pretty much guaranteed sunshine. Even now in January the sun is shining and it is 19C! It is a 30-40 minute drive from Paphos airport and very easy to get to, even for a first timer in Cyprus! All the road signs are in English and they also drive on the left like us. Coral Bay is mainly centered along a main strip of bars, resturants and shops. All the hotels and villas are just off the main strip and along the sea front. There is a more laid back feel to Coral Bay than other resorts in Cyprus and even on a weekend night it doesn't feel to crowded. My favourite resturant is the Seriani, the quality is superb and the portions are huge! If you want a drink in the evening Kikos bar is also a place I would...

The Wonders of Coral Bay

Advantages: The sea is a clean clear blue and the weather is fantastic.
Disadvantages: None

...Coral Bay is a beautiful place to visit. The sea is clean and a clear blue. When I was there in June 2005, I stayed in my apartment which is situated only down the road from Coral Bay in a small place called Peiya. Every day we drove into Coral Bay which took only five minutes. There are lots of water sports available on the beach, such as para-gliding, scuba diving, glass boat trips (which is a must), jet skis, banana rides, water skis, speed boat hiring, pedaloes, windsurfing and lessons and canoeing. There are also plenty of places to eat and drink just up the road from the beach. In the evening we went to a taverna and bar where there was a pool table for the kids and the owners let them play on this free of charge. The people there were very polite and generous. Coral Bay, also, have a few shops which do come in handy...

A corally fish.

Advantages: cute, soft
Disadvantages: retired

...or blue These colors were chosen just for you! I think this is a beautiful poem. There is something about it that reaches out to the heart. Its a bright and colourful poem, certain to put a smile on your face. If you want to buy little Coral, you may have a task on your hands. She is now known as 'retired', which means you cannot buy her in stores as she has been discontinued by TY so they can make room for new editions. You may however be able to buy her on auction sites such as eBay, or at car boot sales. This means that the price is not guaranteed. Some may price her low as he is so old, but others may see her as an antique in the collection, and will price her quite high. Personally I would not pay more than £4 or £5 for her, unless she was perhaps one of the last few TYs I needed for my collection. Coral is one of my favourite...

My Bay

Advantages: tasty addition to stews and cassorole
Disadvantages: maybe to strong for your taste

...Bay is an everygreen herb which grows like a shrub, it can be grown in open spaces or in tubs. The flowers of the bay are yellow and it will flower in may. The best way to get a bay plant is to buy one from a garden centre for around 99p depending on the size. I also like to get my herbs from bootsales where you can pick them up from 25p so saves money. When your bay plant is well established in the pot re-plant it outside. It likes to be in a sunny but shaded place in the garden. They may die off in the winter but should throw new shoots during the following spring. Bay is a native to the east mediterranean but have been grown in europe for years. They are a very popular herb to grow in your herb garden as they have a good use in cookery. You can use the leaves dried or fresh. Bay leaves have a very strong aromatic...

Review of Bay

Nature at Bay

Advantages: Accessible, attractive, atmospheric
Disadvantages: Covers too small an area

...As you walk west towards the sunset along the beach at Le Crotoy, the rattle of shingle soon gives way to the soft crunch of seashells in the sand beneath your feet. Before long you are away from the town and the only other sound to be heard is from out in the estuary, a mixed chorus of gulls, geese and sandpipers. They rise and fall in flurries amid the creeks in the grey-green mud. Dusk descends, and a red navigation light flashes out to sea. When you turn to retrace your footsteps, a trail of luminescent dots discloses the habitations on the far side of the bay of the Somme. * Why go, and how? * Even the most enthusiastic advocates (like me) of overnight shopping/eating/drinking trips to France have to admit that the area around Calais and Boulogne does sometimes become a bit overrun with English visitors (like me...

Review of Bay of the Somme

Perfect for Young Families and Singles Alike

Advantages: Very friendly, sunbeds reasonably prices, lovely weather year round
Disadvantages: Price and beach could be cleaner

...I have holidayed in many places both with and without children and after spending the last three summer's on Coral Bay Beach I thought I would share my experience. Accessibility - Coral Bay is easily accessible by bus from Paphos areas and is 15 minute car or taxi ride from Paphos Harbour. There is plenty of parking and we managed to park practically on the beach every day, we arrived about 10am and holidayed mid September. Value for money - I found the food and drink at the beach bar expensive although the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One portion of chips was 3 euro, a can of drink 2euro 50, a pizza 6 euro. We took some food and drink to the beach with us every day. We paid for sun beds, they were 2euro 50 for each bed and the same for an umbrella so it cost us 7euro 50 a day for two beds and an umbrella, our...

The Invisible Invasion - The Coral

Advantages: Typical mad Coral
Disadvantages: A bit slow at times

...This band can't stop churning out albums can they? This is their 4th in less than 3 years! If you read my 'Nightfreak & Sons of Becker' review then you'll get an idea of who The Coral are etc. Another track by tracker for you all to enjoy: She Sings The Mourning: Poor spelling, or a play on words? Who knows? Either way it gets the album off to a fine start. Lots of odd noises and lyrics that I don't have a clue as to what they mean but you want to sing along to it and you should. It's a top tune. In what seems like a mini solo the song goes completely mental with god knows what going on, typical Coral! My only problem with is that it sounds like it can be bigger and better but perhaps that is saved for live shows. 8/10. Cripples Crown: This is a bit of a laidback song, with guitars clipping inbetween lyrics, quite haunting...

BAY TRADING

Advantages: Great quality, styles and prices
Disadvantages: Too cramped store

...Well the answer to my title is quite simple, um.... cash for clothes and accessories and in this case DECENT, GOOD QUALITY Bay Trading items, sorry about the dodgy title but I couldn't really think of anything else! I've only really noticed Bay Trading in my local town centre recently, I've only just started shopping there too so her goes my opinion on the shop itself. The store itself is relatively small but have been in bigger branches, with racks down the sides of the small, thin, long store and 1 single rack all the way down the middle of the store, things can get a little cramped. When loads of people are in the tiny store all at once, things can get a litte out of hand. Luckily the store uses the floor above it too for the changing rooms. The changing rooms are great with a big communal area and then 2 smaller changing rooms...

Review of Bay Trading (Shop)

ROBIN HOOD'S BAY

Advantages: Beautifully preserved and evocative
Disadvantages: STEEP

...I've always wondered why Robin Hood's Bay was in North Yorkshire and not in Nottinghamshire. One explanation might be that Nottinghamshire, being landlocked, is not over-endowed with bays. Another is the sheer logistics of moving it from one county to another. Robin Hood's Bay is around 5 miles south of Whitby, and some 15 miles north of Scarborough on the North Sea coast of North Yorks. I've researched a little, and I can find no explanation of why this place has such an interesting name - it doesn't matter anyway. There are records dating back from 1536, apparently, of a small settlement of around 50 houses and 20 fishing boats but nothing about its namesake. Besides, the locals prefer to call it Bay Town. There may be some tenuous connection to the 'Prince of Thieves' though. Fishing has always been the mainstay of this...

Review of Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire

Ascos Coral Beach Hotel,Cyprus. One of the nicest hotels.

Advantages: Close to beach, peaceful , no children, close to bars
Disadvantages: Shingle beach by hotel.

...We stayed at the Ascos Coral beach Hotel ,Cyprus, in June 2009. The hotel, during the summer months is for adults only,which if your are on a relaxing holiday makes a big difference. Once you enter the hotel you can notice straight away that there are no children running around, its very peaceful. The hotel is around half an hour drive from the airport at Paphos. It is located on the coast and has a pathway down to a shingle beach which to be honest we did not use as it was a bit awkward to walk along. The shops, not many mind, and the bars are about a five minutes walk. If you want to go to the coral bay beach it would take you around 15 minutes to walk there at the most, and to drive there it would take around 1 minute. The beach does have the usual amenities like being pulled by a speed boat and pedalos. The hotel itself is very...
