In May 2023, we spent five nights on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Looking for a base to explore the breathtaking beauty and rich culture of this fascinating island, our path led us straight to the stunning Hilton Nicosia in the island's vibrant capital. With a perfect blend of first-class service, contemporary ambience and luxurious amenities, this hotel proved to be our perfect choice.
In May 2023, we spent 5 days on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus and saw and experienced so much. Find out in this article whether it's worth a visit and what we can recommend.
This time we went to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus during the Whitsun holidays. On the return journey, we were lucky enough to fly Aegean Airlines Business Class in the Airbus A321neo from Athens to Berlin.
Aegean Airlines has been investing heavily in its airport lounges since September 2021, revamping them with the new corporate design, "AEGEAN's neo era." The airport lounges in Athens and Thessaloniki have now reopened with a new look and increased capacity. The Aegean Business Lounge in Larnaca has not yet been renovated, and we made a quick stop there before our flight to Athens.
Aegean Airlines is still one of my favourite airlines for travelling within Europe. The crew members are always friendly and welcoming and pride themselves on providing genuine Greek hospitality. To renew my frequent flyer status, I have to take four flights with the airline every year. I normally use my Business Class upgrade vouchers for these flights. However, as we were travelling to Cyprus as a family today, we took our seats in Aegean Airlines Economy Class and were curious to see if the service behind the curtain was just as good.
