| Welcome aboard. Where will you be staying in Troulos? Do you have children in tow, or just the two of you? |

Hi Steve
Welcome to the board  ...
Troulos was hardly affected, Pareskevi bore the brunt of the fire.

No kids in tow been there got t-shirt a

| La Luna is a lovely place to stay. Great views across the bay and in a good spot for the beach etc. Be careful if you use the supermarket at the beach road, where the frog bar is. It's really expensive. Last year we stayed at apartments further down the road from La Luna (Maria Yiannis). The owners of these apartments own the Frog Bar and the supermarket. It's worth walking further up towards Troulos junction and shopping at Victoria's (near the petrol station). She won't rip you off. |

Plenty of info in the General forum and feedback forum on the fire, but AP was all up and running within a day the fire will not affect your holiday. The pine forest behind the resort has gone, and there was some damage to a villa where the fire crossed the road.
