Pick by what you want
🇨🇾 Choose Cyprus if
you want reliable sun and warm sea with short flights from Europe and the Gulf, and a small island you can drive across in two hours.
🇮🇩 Choose Indonesia if
you want volcanoes, reefs and rice terraces for very little money, and you are willing to leave the busy south to find them.
