Cyprus is usually not considered a luxury holiday destination, but rather an island that confidently competes with other tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. This position is quite adequate: a mild climate, well-groomed beaches, the presence of historical sights, a developed infrastructure, a well-preserved exotic flavor of local culture - all this makes Cyprus undoubtedly popular among tourists who go on individual tours, and absolutely advantageous for those who are planning a family vacation. ... With this state of affairs, hotels in Crete for families with children do not lose their relevance. On the contrary, they demonstrate excellent development prospects.
