Alright, how’s it going? My name’s Markus Krenn and I’m the best travel expert for Cyprus. My posts about what Cyprus is really all about? Only gone and been read over a million times!
My Cyprus travel guides at markuskrenn.com and markuskrenn.blog are the most widely read Cyprus travel blogs in English and German.
I live in sunny Cyprus — just a hop, skip and a jump from Ayia Napa. Swapped German grey skies for year-round sunshine. Best decision ever!
My Cyprus travel blog is all about fun and offbeat things to do in Ayia Napa.
Looking for things to do in Protaras? I’ve got you covered.
Need things to do in Pernera? Sorted, mate.
Things to do in Kapparis and things to do in Paralimni — I’ve got the lot, mate.
And since I don’t do things by halves, I’ve also covered the districts of Nicosia (island centre), Larnaca (southeast coast), Limassol (south coast) and Paphos (west coast).
We’re talking unmissable things to do in Cyprus, what living in Cyprus is really like, the lot.
