Cyprus - a former British colony
elitedaily.com |
Cyprus was a British colony eight decades (until 1960). In hotels, restaurants, shops and beaches English speech sounds almost all the time, and sometimes it's a real “royal” British English - because Cyprus is still home to many Britons. In other words, practice English on the island can not only be within the walls of language schools, but also in any other locations, participating in excursions, sunbathing on the beach and chatting with foreign tourists in local bars.
It's cheaper than in Malta and in the UK
Cyprus is a relatively new player in the market of language education. Cost of training in local schools is by 30-40 per cent lower than in England, and by 10-15 percent lower than in Malta.
Studies can be combined with a beach holiday

Comfortable weather all year round
The title of "sun island" Cyprus has received for the duration of the bathing season - almost all year round. Even in winter swimming in the sea does not become too extreme fun - in the coldest month (January), the water temperature rarely drops below 17 degrees. From February to April, it becomes the island of flowers, green vineyards, lemon smell of ripening. And most importantly - happy discounts and the lack of excitement in hotels, shops and tours.
