Have travelled with Cyprus Paradise Holidays
Found them very efficent prices are among the cheapest compared with many of the other northern cyprus operators. They tend to use turkish charter airlines which are ok but don't expect many frills ie no inflight movies etc.

Hi bazjea I have traveled with thediscoverycollection in april not very good no one to meet us at the airport. We were rescued by Anatolian Sky they transported us to or hotel. Went in september with Anatolian Sky could not fault them don't think they were the cheapest. colin

Went last year with Anatolian Sky and would highly recommend them. The repswere very knowledgeable especially on the trips we went on.
We got an excellent price with them aswell - through booking early we got 11 nights for the price of 7 with some other companies.
Also 2 days car hire thrown in but I have to say it was a very small car so we upgraded.

I went with Direct Traveller last year... as you may see from my previous chats.. i do recommend them!

From the UK they are so helpful, and helped me choose my hotel.. the Ship Inn Hotel.. which was the just prefect..

They specialise in Holidays with direct flights through the south.. so there arent any touch downs, and also they picked us up in a car NOT a coach!

Their reps were welcoming, proffesional, and their service was great throughout our stay.. we paid i think around £469each at this hotel for the summer, which included everything.. and was around £40 - 50 less than the others - so yes i guess thats value for money.

Will definately use them again!

as you may see from my previous chats..

Chats? Sorry.......I thought this was your first post?

I don't know because I've not been yet but I've booked up to go to Kyrenia, Ship Inn June 07 with Metak Holidays. I booked purely on it being a slightly lower price than the others, but really there's not much in it.

I've seen good reports of Cyrpus Paradise and Anatolian Sky for Northern Cyprus and I know that people in our hotel in Kalkan, Turkey last year with Anatolian Sky were very happy with them.

For me personally, I would use an operator who specialises in Northern Cyprus and Turkey as they do tend to have reps who know their stuff.

And I think with Northern Cyprus whoever you go with you are pretty much guaranteed private transfers or a minibus!

We have travelled with Cyprus Paradise a few times and on arrival at Ercan were met by a rep who took us to a coach parked alongside all the other operators coaches! Most operators use a coach which then travels round all the hotels dropping off. This is fine if your drop off is one of the first but I know that it can take up to 2 hours to get to the final hotel and after spending six or seven hours cooped up on a plane this is the last thing you want!

Oh well, maybe not then. I looked at Anatolian Sky info and they said their transfers were generally car or minibus but occasionally coach. Just figured as North Cyprus is a smaller holiday destination with small travel companies that transfers may be private a lot of the time. I guess it depends how many people are flying out there on the same flight using the same operator.

Still, I can't see it being like going to the Costas or major Greek isles with full 48 seaters and big hoards of families and groups to drop off.

If it is, never mind, it's a very small part of the beginning of the holiday!
