InterContinental Aphrodite Hills Resort, Paphos

Advantages: Perfect place to have your holidays
Disadvantages: none =]

...Originally I'm from Cyprus and I am very proud of that. I feel very lucky because I lived there most the years of my life. (in Paphos, in a village that is called Armou that is on a hill and from up there you can see nice view and all paphos town and the sea!)
