Advantages: Lots of history Disadvantages: Admission charges
Whitby in north east England is today a bustling little town that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Many come here because of its quaint narrow streets and it's old-worldly charms, others to see its old traditional working harbour. There is no denying that Whitby is a town that is steeped in a rich history and at the centre of this history is the story of Captain James Cook.

The hot weather, boredom, and a sort of morbid curiosity compelled me to go out and seek one of these air-conditioned sanctuaries, so we set out for the Mall of Cyprus on a particularly hot and sticky Saturday morning. My wife fancied some shopping, but I went solely to bear witness to the slow but sure demise of the Cypriot way of life.
GETTING THERE
The Mall of Cyprus is on an industrial estate in the non-descript suburb of Strovolos, just to the south of Lefkosia, and is clearly sign-posted off the main A1 motorway. There is plenty of free car parking on site (1500 spaces), but head straight down into the lower level car parks to avoid cooking your car in the sun.
