How Expensive is Traveling in CYPRUS? It's Cheap!
Gabriel has by far the most relaxed, down to earth and realistic travel videos in the internet.
Cyprus has been a typical British holiday destination, which always put me off as I hate going to all those resort type places. But maybe I should check it out.
Far from it lots ex pats out there but more russians than brits ...
Was working out in Cyprus for a British Travel company back in 2013 nice to see you doing a video of this amazing Island. ☺
No fee to withdraw cash in Pathos.....love that! The New York Plaza hotel with a full kitchen and nice "room with a view" and balcony looked lovely! Even $60.00 a night during the "high Season" is still a bargain but $23.00 during the Winter is fabulous for a good size apartment. You can travel so well on a reasonable budget and stay for twice the amount of time in Cyprus as you might anywhere else near the Mediterranean Sea. The Cypriot food you showed looked so fresh, healthy and satisfying....for so little cash....what a great place!
Great video, Gabriel. I used to vacation in Cyprus, did a lot of snorkeling off of Pafos. It's a great country.
Hello from Cyprus. As a tourist it's expensive for you but we as locals we know where to eat high class for the same price and shop organic food. I buy 20 euros worth of groceries and it lasts me a week, breakfast , lunch and dinner and snacks. But our places are amazing to eat and fun to go out eating and drinking coffee. Make sure you know a local so you can eat the best food and have the best time.
I was there with my sister on a cruise in October, 2019. We really enjoyed ourselves. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Thank you for bringing us on your trips. I look forward to every new video you post. In fact, I go search your channel from time to time just to make sure I haven't missed the latest one!
Thanks a lot, appreciate it. I haven't been posting quite as frequently lately. Been taking a bit of a break from filming every day. Working on the next video now though from Cyprus.
Nice video! interesting place! cant wait for your next video! keep it up!
Hi Gabriel, I'm planing a trip to CY in late October. Your video was very informative. Thanks a lot
Your videos are spectacular and I am a huge fan! You got the life bro! Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Looking forward to meeting up with you one day. Drinks and dinner will be on me!
Absolutely love Cyprus, our area is more Lanarca, Protaras but it is one of the best places that we have ever visited.
hi are you british
Hi Gabe, Love watching your vids... they always make me feel happy. Hope to do traveling like u do. Great work... from Calif. :)
Ah it's so great that you've shown how inexpensive Cyprus can be, a few people I know have said they wouldn't want to go because it's so expensive! The top hotels are pricey yes but eating and drinking as well as busses and entrance fees into places are not that expensive. I love all the archaeology sites, I love exploring tombs and all the ancient sites with many around Paphos. The last time we went (we stayed in Paphos) and paid for half a day Segway tour....it was amazing! The guide brought us to all the ancient sites and gave us history lessons along the way, well worth doing. The place was situated near the car rental place you walked past in the video, not far from the bus station. If your still there, I would definitely recommend. 😁 We've been 5 times now and each time hire a car and travel around the island, absolutely beautiful place with really friendly people. X
Yeah I rented a car, the next video will be about exploring more of the island.
not expensive ??? even in low season that would mean 600-700€ monthly rent and at least 600€ for food etc...so all together way more than a 1000€ per.month for basic necessities but u call that cheap ??? hilarious
casel LI i didn’t say Cyprus was cheap I said that I thought it was great that Gabriel showed us how inexpensive Cyprus could be. He was staying in a hotel apartment which is always going to be more expensive than renting a flat etc Also, he was showing us the prices of meals and drinks at restaurants which is different to actually living in a place for a month where I’m guessing, you wouldn’t eat out at all your meals times??!! It all depends what countries/places you are comparing it all to I suppose.
Diaryofa40something Cyprus is not cheap!!!
If you are going to live there for months you can rent a property for less than that, you won't stay in a pay per day place (hotel etc), unless you are crazy .. DAHH!
I wish you would take pictures of the meals your eating and add them to your videos?
Your doing a great job love your videos very inspiring
Anthony
Well I enjoyed the video a lot. Happy travel to you sir !!
Congratulations for your 50th country travel gabe
Thanks, it's a real milestone.
Thank you for doing this video. I think you explained the situation perfectly.
I am going to Paphos tomorrow. Your video was really helpful. Hope it's not too cold there.
Thank you for uploading. I am on my way to Cyprus in April. The food is very cheap , coming from the uk . Be safe and thank-you for your upload ❤
Just discovered this channel. I'm planning to visit Cyprus next year. Great job and have a great time, wherever you are right now :)
Thanks and same to you.
I'm so happy you visited my country Gabriel! Keep it up!!
@TheCrazyLemonXD same same
@@IceyShard same same too
@@IceyShard μηλατε ελληνικά?
@@user-bi3hz7pq1u Ναι.
Nice video Bro. Happy travelling
are you british ever been to cyprus
I stayed near Paphos five years ago but I'm going back later this year, staying at the Kings Hotel which is in your video at 5.12. Useful to have some up to date costs of things and a better idea of how far to walk down to the harbour area. We used to come in by bus down the Tomb of the Kings road so I recognise many of the places.
Hey Gabriel, great video as always! The "collection of scarves" hanging on the tree is nothing but offerings from people to Saint Solomoni. It is believed that she will cure the illness you suffer from if you tie a scarf outside the church.
I see, thanks a lot.
- Interesting. I wouldn't have thought this place would be so cool ate night based on the geographical location. Interesting.
Enjoy it! 🌍
oh believe me.. in July and August, it’s something else. It can go up to 43-45 celsius.
Superb, Gabriel you are an excellent traveler
50 countries ! Yay ! . Thanks for the great videos. This town isn't particularly attractive but I'm sure in the high season it's bustling and a lot of fun. I liked the boy with the fish statue.
Yeah the island is more interesting once you get out of town. I'll show a lot more in the next video. It's uploading right now.
Where you were wasn’t exactly the town. The Old Town in Paphos has been renovated in recent years and is really nice.
Love the sky at the end..
I love your videos they are awesome and I have learnt so much from you thank you, your a star.
Great, thank you. :)
If you plan visit Greece now, the weather is bad, temperature is in the teens centigrade (late fifties F). If you do visit us, go to Crete (the weather is milder) and the southern Peloponnese (Mani peninsula)
Looks like a really great vacation place! ✌🏼👍🏼
The place is spotlessly clean! What a contrast from India
My dad was in Cyprus in WW2. He used to tell me about it. He flew fighter planes. I adore your videos.
Nice video, Gabriel! Yes, except for the first restaurant things seem considerably cheap! The dinner looked wonderful. Filling, something that I desire. It's like my vacation on Terceira. Isl., Azores, PT. I could stuff myself, and more, if I were careful, on 12 euros. A decent dinner for about 18 to 19, and of course both about a 5-minute walk from the beach. What I've seen of Cyprus I like. Originally, there were a native people, not the Greeks; I think they still live there.
like always a great video by gabe..:)
Hi Jessica
U should go to the little cyclades and or karpathos, a little pre high season.. End of april-may should be good👍
Great info!
Oohhhh yeesss!!!!! The strawberry tart = superpower!
I lived there about 12 years ago. Great place!
Gabriel, great video as always. Where are you going next?
Great Video. Thank you for posting. I like you T shirt........ "Elephant".
And, now here I am fresh from your Jerusalem video ...
Oh, and I'm reminded of another video request that I have to make of you, please: A fashion one!
No kidding, all of your T-Shirts (long and short sleeved) are KILLER!
I wished I owned them all.
What an awesome apartment for so cheap per night! Comparable to some prices I’ve seen in Belgrade during this time of year, and even in the summer season.
But for affordable food, drink, etc. Serbia is definitely a great option. No beach or anything but there still is a lot to see if you like visiting churches, monasteries and there are a lot of cool things to see in the cities
Why would anybody dislike your videos is beyond me. We get to experience places we will probably never visit.
Looks like a very relaxing place to visit.
Great one. 👍
Gabe: A nice Island. Decent prices. An awesome video.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it.
Viajemos Más nice island 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LOL so not I live in Cyprus and its soooo trash
Awesome video as always. I have been following your vlogs for a year, I love the realistic approach to real time travel. This vlog inspired me to travel there based on the affordability itself" would you recommend a vacation there for a single mom of a teen, lol???? Thanks , greeting from Florida ! USA
Thanks, yeah I would say it's a good spot for vacation with a teen. Nice low-key place and not too expensive. Probably pretty hot and crowded in peak season in July and August. There will be a couple more videos from there.
Fly to Lemnos! So much to see there!
Internet is the most commercialized commodity in 2018 . If its slow in any place then it means its deliberate and you need to pay huge sum to get fast internet .
kleftiko is lamb shank cooked in a sauce. I remember the days when you could eat a three course meal with wine for £8. Prices have shot up since they took on the Euro.
wow, great price and even low season is best time to visit.
Nice video Gabe i went there years ago it was too Hot when i was there and not as Quiet as that
just a couple of things- next time you come, come in the summer and call me, us locals who grew up in North America and now live here, know and have seen the WHOLE island and we can show you the BEST places to eat at prices that will blow your mind- also, thanks for letting people know how COLD it can be here in winter- especially if you are from Alaska and saying how cold it is, it kinda confirms it- houses are built for summer not winter so be wary where you book if you come winter months- summer months start april ish until novemberish and october is the BEST month to come to Cyprus - thanks for the great video and remember that the WHOLE island has its pros and cons-
Hey, i ll come to Cyprus in a couple of weeks and i would love to hear about some hidden gems of your country.
Hope you ll see this in time
Thanks😁
YourAdHere share your tips! We're here for the month of Feb
Was going this December for a short winter break. NO MORE - GOOD OLD LOCKDOWN! 😣
Love your video .. inspires me to go there
Amazing video as always. Cyprus is definitely cheap compared to other EU countries. It's now high on my list ☺️ Thanks Gabriel ✌️
Great for the budget traveller
great video very informative
Thanks.
HEY GABRIEL, NICE VIDEO. I REALLY LIKED THE DINNER YOU HAD, MAKES ME WANT TO GO TO CYPRUS. MAYBE IN A FEW YEARS.
BROCK
Cool man, thanks.
Cyprus can be really expensive for tourist. Hotels can be really pricey but there are cheapest places to go rarher than staying in downtown. Like staying in Coral beach or bigger houses with many people, like family houses. Also for restaurants is better to go in the middle of the town. For clubbing and having fun downtown is the best place. For the most beautiful beaches are in Latchi Beach and Akamas with really nice 4×4 tours. Also rental car are better in the airpotrts. For drinks and staff also the best places to buy are the supermarkets, avoid suvenir shops and kiosk. There everything cost at least €2 more. Cyprus can be cheap if you are a tourist but you avoid to leave like a tourist i guess
I mean Paphos. Not Cyprus. Lemesos is really expensive ,also Nicosia. I dont know a lot about Larnaca. For the special night clubbing fun time Ayia Napa is the best place, the ceapest flights are to Larnaca, the capital is Nicosia but nothing special there, for History and culture go to Paphos, and for nature go to Troodos
Kyriakos Theodorou You hit the nail bro - I got more insight from your post as I would be coming to study in Nicosia , I don’t need hotels , just need an affordable crib in an environment where I can get local food and not intercontinental cuisine - decent girls not commercial pleasure givers , hopefully my experience is going to be worthwhile in Cyprus .
That balcony is great. At least I like it.
Nice video gabriel keep going
Great video my freind
Hi Gabe, Great video! Have you done Scotland yet? I think you should do it after Greece.
awesome thanks,,my mom was born there when it was the turkish side :)))
Nice vibes there!
Spent 6 month's in Cyprus when I was 19 , would like to re visit
Enjoy your winging it style of traveling.
Thanks.
Do you think all of the prices would change a lot during their high season? Thanks and praises for keeping us updated so consistently and thoroughly. Safe travels!
Definitely accommodation will go up. Not sure about restaurant prices.
hi Gbriel, thanks for your good sharing. Is there popular to use VISA card for shopping or eating as well ?
I love the outside large menu at 6:22 '
The Airbnb‘s I stayed in in Cyprus had very decent wifi speeds (upload speeds 10mbps+)... the apartments were also very affordable. So I wouldn‘t say internet speeds are bad in general. If you need more infrastructure you should stay in Limassol or Larnaca.
Hm, I tried to upload videos at five or six different restaurants, and in two different hotels and it was always the same thing, insanely slow. It was slightly better in Larnaca at least.
I'm from Scandinavia Europe and I can say that those food prices are far from cheap. In Spain, more touristy than Cyprus, food prices cost half, for example buffe in most of Spain's cities cost around 10-15 euros, I mean good buffe. but the hotel price is cheap where you live.
Larnca is more touristy go there if you have the opportunity
i have relatives in Crete and someplace where its sometimes Greece sometimes Turkey. when my great grandparents came here Ellis Island changed their names from Michaelatsis to Mitchell
That must be Cyprus then, I think it's the only place where Greek and Turkish cultures are on the same island.
i was wondering the same. they passed when my grandfather was 2 so he lost track. they visited there as adults. but the info we were able to find was thru Ancestry.com. but I had no luck at all
beautiful
the strawberry tart looks niceeeeee :D
Great video, Gabe. You should drive over to Protaras :D
See you soon Cyprus!
i feel special seeing this while being cypriot
Very useful video
❤️ 🇨🇾
lol... i used to work there... love pafos, its my home
amazing
Limaasol has great internet! 😉👍
When you have a kitchen do you at least use it to save money? Eating out all the time is super expensive.
Great video! If you do end up in Greece again, will you try to reconnect with Deana?
Food looks good and reasonable
Gabriel, are you planning in coming to South America? (Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay...)?
Going in February is smart. You go to see what Cyprus is like not a bunch of tourists.
True, but the weather is not so nice.
Ok. Going to Cyprus in a couple days but haven't booked a hotel yet. Where's the best area to stay?
Unfortunately the prices scale up with the demand, and there are a lot of Tourists. Our whole economy is based on tourism so it makes sense that restaurants, hotels, bars can be very expensive in the summer. Considering other tourist destinations, the prices are normal.
New camera, nice!
Nice video
This is Cyprus my friend, we have the slowest internet in the world
Oh no wonder my boyfriend there have problem with internet .
Lebnon have the slowest internet ever
Philippines too hahahaha
Really？ why doesn't the government promote the internet speed
Catholic churches (mostly) the train track is a walkway over the archaeological Park.
There is nothing wrong with Paphos .its quite pleasant can be hot in summer safe and reasonable . prices do get a little more expensive july / august . car hire goes up too .but overall not an expensive place . Those looking to relocate . It can be a very very nice place to retire too . Top villages . Are Tala and kamares village. Especialy Kamares
About 10 mins from Paphos .
Yeah I know that everywhere in Cyprus the WiFi is to slow 😁😂
im scared to search on the internet for countrys now
it looks alot better on camera than in real life a lot cleaner and greener but it might just be where i live
Dang! You’re speaking speed is almost supersonic in this video 😂
