Of course, you have to visit the capital, or rather the divided capital, of Cyprus. A fantastic, huge city with a beautiful old town. And we would actually move to this city in November if the sea weren't so far away. Naturally, we looked into what we could do there beforehand. We had planned two days, but in the end, we actually spent nine days in Nicosia. On the way to the hotel, we noticed a huge Turkish flag on the mountain. We could then admire it from our room's balcony

A Glimpse into Our Potential New Home Cyprus, the breathtaking island in the eastern Mediterranean, has once again captivated us. This time, however, our visit was driven by a special purpose – the search for our potential new home.

Well, first and foremost, we wanted more sunshine than we had in Germany. For the last six months, we've practically never seen the sun. It really gets you down. We don't want that anymore, period. Furthermore, Cyprus is a very beautiful and charming island with something for everyone: In the most extr

The starting point of our world trip? The flight to Paphos is booked, and this time we're actually flying business class for the first time. Great, but also a bit annoying when the flight attendant's constant questions make it impossible to read a page in peace. This time we're flying from Cologne, and we usually love spending the time we have left before departure in the lounge. The lounge in Cologne is a joke compared to other airports (you could call it a larger waiting ro

Neutral At first, we were naturally confronted with driving on the left, which was quite a challenge. But after a short adjustment period, we also got used to the special rules of the roundabout.
