Hallo, people! May be it is awkward and funny but I decided to insert intercalative maps everywhere, where it is possible! I mean if a country is big enough and worth noticing or reading. So, enjoy your rest and choose, choose, choose…
Cyprus an island of Gods
A lot of words can be told about Cyprus. Both positive and negative remarks are a common thing. No doubts, it has strong connection to history. Walking through the dark passages of Paphos Castle, touching its old, rough walls, looking at the immovable “face” of blue waters remain you about Ancient times, times of Alexander the Great and well-known Cleopatra. Even Aphrodite was born here (according to Greek mythology) and chose Cyprus as a further place of living.
Nowadays, Cyprus or the Republic of Cyprus is a large, modern and quickly developing country where the past meets the present and together they are making future. Cyprus is washed by the Mediterranean Sea and each year attracts more than 2 million people from all over the world. This island is opened to tourists 4 seasons a year! Cyprus, it is 10,000 km2 of enchanting beaches, olive and citrus trees and amazing mountains. There are two official languages: Greek and Turkish but English is commonly used. And the official currency is the Cyprus pound.
Cyprian cuisine is really delicious. Among the most frequently used ingredients are regional herbs and spices, fruits and vegetables, such as green beans and peppers, carrots, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, lettuce. Seafood dishes are very widespread. And, of course, visiting Cyprus you have to taste their wine in order to perceive the character and spirit of Mediterranean.

How to get to Bahamas?
The Bahamas just imagine: blue, crystal-clear water of the Atlantic Ocean, gold sands of the world famous resorts, uninhabited cays and large rocks, serene atmosphere of luxury and natural beauty. Here sky meets the sun, ocean meets land… I have never been there. But if I had enough money I would go there for sure. It is a land of my dream. I’ve read a lot about it and if one day I have an opportunity to make my dream come true (and I know I will) I will be in full possession. I think there are a lot of people who are luckier than I am, and they are going to the Bahamas in the nearest future, so the following information and interesting facts will be useful for them:
- Bahamas consists of 700 islands and each island has its own diversity that continues beyond geography, carrying through to the heart of The Bahamas, the Bahamian people;
- Take warm clothes with you! Evenings are rather cold!
- In the Bahamas, the legal tender is the Bahamian dollar (B$1), which is equivalent in value to the U.S. dollar. And relax – these currencies are interchangeable!
- English is the official language of The Islands Of the Bahamas. But!!!!! Be careful! However, until you become accustomed to the region’s dialect, you may have to ask some people to repeat what they say
- There are no rivers in the Bahamas;
- Bahamas does not have an army;
- The Islands of the Bahamas are made entirely of calcium carbonate;
- There are 120 species of plants found only in the Bahamas, so, you can try your best and enrich your own home flora with new species!
- According to the World Health Organization, only 3% of women and 19% of men in the Bahamas are smokers;
- Junkanoo (which has been compared to Carnival in Rio and Mardi Gras in New Orleans) is a colorful and uniquely Bahamian parade held on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Dance! Dance! Dance!
- The ratio of flamingos to people on Great Inagua is 61:1. So, girls, think about it!
- Some unusual island names are Ragged Island, Crooked Island, Rum Cay, Conception Island, Exuma, Big Farmer’s Cay and Great Sayle Cay;
- Cascarilla bark grown in a few Out Islands is used to flavor Campari and Vermouth.
Dear friends, I wish you good luck and unforgettable rest! And if you don’t mind, please clarify it to me whether the Bahamas is the tropical paradise, a perfect tranquil place for family rest and seclusion or an opportunity to see the emerald and turquoise waters of the Bahamas archipelago, breathtaking beaches, miles of sand and millions of adventures! To be continued…
