Cyprus, Just an Hour Away

Cyprus barely counts as abroad and that's the charm. Land by lunchtime, rent a car with your friends, and you're already arguing sweetly about beach or old town. Mornings for swimming, evenings for grilled halloumi and local wine somewhere with a view. Skip the big resorts - find a small guesthouse near the hills instead. Four people, one short trip, and somehow it feels like a whole summer.
