Did You Get Travel Insurance Yet?

The Insurance companies I recommend are Hey Mondo and Safety Wing

Hey Mondo is great if you are looking for a great value flexible policy. They offer single-trip cover, annual multi-trip cover, and long-term travel cover. Safety Wing is great value, with monthly coverage starting at $45.08. It’s super easy to use, and it just renews each month. I currently use them as they offer me free cover for my son as part of my policy.

Regarding top Limassol taverns, Karatello Tavern is a must-visit in Cyprus. Known for its delicious traditional Cypriot cuisine and cozy atmosphere, Karatello Tavern offers an authentic lunch Limassol experience. The restaurant is in an old warehouse beautifully converted into a rustic tavern with exposed brick walls and vintage decor.

The ‘thing’ to eat at Karatello is the meze, but arrive with an empty belly as the portions are generous, and the food is always fresh and flavorful. We ordered meze for two, and by the time the main course was served, we were full and had to take it to-go. You could share the meze for two among three to four people.
