But a lot also depends on the frame of mind you’re in when you arrive for your holiday: whether you’ll focus on minor details that might spoil your holiday, or whether you’ll enjoy the view of the magnificent turquoise sea from your balcony, where at breakfast you’ll be looked after by attentive waiters offering strong Cypriot coffee or freshly squeezed juice made from ripe fruit, and in the evening you can sit on the cosy terrace and admire the starry sky.
