In defence of friendly Russian tourists

I must say that the Russian tourists that have frequented our restaurant in Protaras, close to Nausica beach, have been very friendly not at all arrogant or dictatorial in their manner. They were very pleasant and a joy to serve. We will have a Russian speaking member of staff next year.

It is far too early to change the cuisine to Russian taste as that will depend on demand but we will watch to see how tourism from Russia develops, if it begins to show an increase, then we will change accordingly.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
