Yes, a couple of weeks ago.

It costs about the same as here. Petrol and wine are cheaper though.

Whereabouts in Cyprus are you going?
Arriving at Larnaca or Paphos airport?

Ha ha! I should hope so. We didn't spend anything like that, including renting a 4x4 for two weeks.

Saying Cyprus is like Blackpool with sun is complete and utter nonsense. Ayia Napa maybe a Blackpoolesque hellhole but Cyprus, as a whole, is a beautiful country... if you can be bothered to get off your bum and explore it.
