Hello Hanna,

Welcome to the board

The approx cost of the transfer is about £30.00 / £35.00.

We have had free transfers paided for by the hotel we stayed at (Pia Bella).

Not sure about your question - is one a property company linked to the other acting as a travel agent ????

Have a look on the message indexes.

Hi Hanna,



Cyprus Premier are a relativley new tour operator - which I understand has some connections to one of the larger hoteliers on the North Cyprus. Some of it's senior staff were involved with TWI / Jewels of the World (which went out of business over two years ago). They contract seats from various airlines such as CTA and Pegasus as do most Tour Ops servicing TRNC.



Cyprus Paradise was one of the first of the new breed of Tour Operators specialising in North Cyprus it was in business for quite a few years and was possibly one of the best at PR and represented the Island well. Unhappily for personal reasons its major shareholder / director decided to close it down about 18 months ago and did so slowly and cleanly.



Cyprus Premier has more recently bought the trading name of Cyprus Paradise.



Most everyone will offer deals for 2009 trying to get the sales in a very poor climate (unless they all ready price low, have a great USP or give lots of service).

Hi Hannah



We live in Ballymena and have bought on the TBV site we have previously used Cyprus Paradise for flights but I booked the accommodation at Riverside (before TBV was ready) was able to hackle the price down, they picked us up at the airport for free. Have also used Turkish Airways from Dublin (great service) they go 5 times a week. Have flew with Pegasus and have booked to go in July this year with them really cheap £470 for 2 adults and 2 children compared with Belfast to Cyprus for £1300.00. There seems to be a lot of Northern Irish buying in TRNC but the flights are expensive.
