When it comes to picking a romantic destination for an unforgettable holiday, Cyprus often comes in at the top of the list. That should not be surprising to anyone lucky enough to have seen the island first hand. From relaxing beaches to breath-taking mountains and plenty of quaint and charming villages in between, Cyprus is the ultimate location for a romantic rendezvous with a loved one. Here are some of the top destinations for romantic and cheap holidays to Cyprus:

Nicosia: As the largest city in Cyprus as well as the capital, Nicosia has plenty to offer any couple on a romantic holiday. Few tourists ever venture to the capital, preferring the beaches to the quaint urban life. However, that allows couples to enjoy a more authentic vie of Cyprus. Countless museums, art galleries and cinemas offer sophisticated and educational entertainment during the day, while the city comes alive at night in the various bars, nightclubs and cafes. Try an authentic meal at an upscale restaurant by candlelight, or visit the 14th century Hamam Omerye, a spa with services for couples that is the ultimate in relaxation and pleasure.

Paphos: This beautiful town is allegedly the birthplace of Aphrodite, so it should come as no surprise that it is a romantic destination beloved by visitors from around the world. The atmosphere in Paphos is decidedly calm and laid back, which is perfect for a couple trying to get away from it all and reconnect in a romantic environment. Spend the days touring the traditional Tala Village, Paphos Fort or even the Odeon amphitheatre. While the nightlife is less vibrant that in some cities in Cyprus, there are plenty of smaller cafes serving delicious wines, liquors and authentic local specialties to set the mood.

Ayia Napa: Although this destination if often billed as a single’s area, the reality is that beautiful beaches and high quality resorts and restaurants make it ideal for couples as well. Avoid the crazy beach parties and head instead to Grecian Bay, where a long stretch of white sand is the perfect place to relax and spend time together.

Living in London is different from holidaying there; the residents, as with any other major metropolitan centre in the world, take less advantage of the things that go on in their own community than do tourists. A prime example of this is the London theatre circuit. Residents of London likely see far fewer live shows each year than tourists do.

With the New Year now underway, London residents can make one more resolution: to live it up in London in 2012. Sometimes it is hard to remember why the city a person lives in is so fabulous, which means it is time for that person to look at their hometown with a different perspective; the perspective of someone that visits and loves the city. Londoners need to make 2012 the year to rediscover the city and what it has to offer by playing tourist from time to time in their own back yard.

The first thing Londoners can do to see the city from a different perspective is to get online and book a weekend away at home. Londoners can find a London show and hotel that they’ve always wanted to visit and see and book it for a weekend getaway. Booking as a package is more cost efficient and it allows residents to take a break from the everyday mundane lifestyle and explore the city as a tourist. In 2012, London theatre shows are better than ever. Musicals such as Jersey Boys, Ghost and Wicked are all being performed live at local theatres. In addition, other shows that include comedies and dramas are also playing.

Londoners, make a weekend of it and stay at that hotel you’ve always wanted to splurge on and see the show you’ve been thinking about for a while. Make a dinner reservation somewhere fabulous and live it up in London in 2012; enjoying the simple things in your own city is a great way to start off the New Year on a good note.

To gain an understanding of the modern metropolis that is Perth, Western Australia, it is important to understand the past of this great city.  The story of Perth begins tens of thousands of years ago, when Indigenous Australians moved south and began to settle in the area.  In particular, the wetlands of what is now Western Australia were of great significance to these people, both spiritually and physically.  It is also noteworthy that present-day Perth was known as Boorloo by the indigenous population.

Perth, as we know it know, was given its new name after the European Invasion of Australia.  There were many violent confrontations between the invaders and the natives, culminating in the possession of this landmass by the Europeans.  The city was named Perth to honour the British Secretary of State for War, Sir George Murray, who was born in the city’s Scottish namesake.

The British were the first Europeans to realise that there was great potential in the fertile lands in this area.  Both the Dutch and the French had spotted this land, but reported home that their efforts would be better expended elsewhere.  The two settlements most firmly established by the colonisers have developed into Perth and Fremantle.

Although Fremantle was primarily used as the penal colony of Western Australia by the British, the number of inmates sent to Perth Gaol rose steeply throughout the 19th century, until the Gaol ceased to exist in 1888. Into the early 20th century, Perth was to become a major city, as her population had continued to grow exponentially throughout the years of British settlement.

The 20th century was a period of previously unseen growth, as the city and her infrastructure were dramatically improved.  Perth has now become one of the most desirable places to live in the Southern Hemisphere.  For more insight into this fascinating history, it is advised to take one of the many great tours that are available in Perth today. As you explore, you can also take advantage of gold card rewards and benefits.  Visitors to Perth with gold cards can even save points to spend on their next flight back to this great city.
