Cyprus! Book now/book later/don't book at all/book whenever you like mate

tain

Me and my better half were going to book a holiday in Cyprus pretty soon but wondered if the current economics over there are likely to affect holiday prices?

If prices for flights/hotels are likely to go through the roof should they flounder by this Monday, should we book ASAP or even not at all?

Or if the country does go bust, will it suddenly become cheap as sandy chips so we're best of waiting till after Monday and maybe even longer?

Don't mean to sound like I'm trying to profit out of someone else's bum situation, but we don't want to be massively out of pocket. Plus I have family over there so other destinations are really not preferred.

What about going by Greece or Turkey and catching a fast ferry if the hotels become dirt cheap, but packages and direct flights remain expensive ?

Didn't even know that was a thing. Will look in to it. Cheers!

Yeah, about that. No ferries to the RoC.

There's a couple of freighters: one out of Lavrio that takes a couple of days and costs a couple of hundred euro and one out of Salerno but that's a full week.
