The design-led Almyra Hotel is set amongst rich history
Almyra goes above and beyond when it comes to catering for couples and families. Those keen to shake off all cares with a pampering spa treatment or yoga session can retreat to the adults-only Almyraspa, with its heartstopping sea views and state-of-the-art gym. Its health-focused Eauzone restaurant serves everything from spa-healthy fruit shakes to heritage cocktails, and there's an inviting adults-only Almyraspa pool.
Beyond the spa, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to taking a dip, with the hotel's four outdoor freshwater pools, one of which is adults-only and two of which look out to sea.
Those with young travellers are well taken care of, too, with interconnected family rooms, a shaded children's pool and age-specific clubs that welcome children from four months to 12 years old. Its brilliant Baby Go Lightly baby concierge service allows parents to lighten the load when they travel, by ordering everything from nappies and sterilisers to baby toiletries and even prams ahead of their arrival. There are English-speaking babysitters available for a fee and a varied kids' club programme – spanning pottery lessons to baking sessions – with local excursions offered to older children, too.
Dining at this stylish hotel is, as expected, a five-star experience, with no fewer than four restaurants for guests to choose from. Savour Mediterranean-Asian fusion flavours at Almyra's al fresco signature restaurant Notios, and sizzling Cypriot sensations at the traditional seafront taverna, Ouzeri. The hotel's main restaurant, Mosaics, serves breakfast and becomes an atmospheric dining space come evening. Then there's Antasia, an architecturally cool restaurant, bar and beach club that's a short seafront walk from the resort – here you'll find Asian and Medinspired flavours, expertly crafted cocktails and a chilled soundtrack that will hit the spot for fun-loving guests.
When you've had your fill of the hotel's excellent cuisine, you can try the restaurants at Almyra's sister hotel, Annabelle, just a few minutes' walk away. Guests can enjoy access to four championship golf courses, which are a 15- to 30-minute drive away. The golf scene here joins a list of activities, including personal training and other pursuits offered by Almyra, and some of the greens have stunning views of the south Cyprus coastline.

American tourist slams pretty European town that was nothing like pictures suggested
Regina Simmons, 38, visited Italy in late May with her husband Dan Simmons, 46, and their two daughters Sofia, 16 and Camila, 13 - but it wasn't quite what they expected A woman has warned fellow holidaymakers about the reality of visiting a Italian tourist hotspot. Regina Simmons jetted off to Italy in late May for a family break, taking on a 10-hour flight from her home in Las Vegas, Nevada to make it to Positano. Sadly for the 38-year-old, the destination was nothing like the "beautiful and calm" spot she'd seen online. The family made sure to include a day in the picturesque coastal town after being inspired by clips on TikTok, alongside visits to Rome and other popular destinations. Regina had expected "amazing views", "calm empty streets", and charming scenes of "locals buying fresh vegetables from the markets". However, she discovered the reality was vastly different from her expectations. The family's Italian reality bump came in the days after one holidaymaker endured a very crowded, miserable break to one of the country's most famous tourist spots. Whilst the sunset panoramas were indeed spectacular, she encountered what she described as "complete chaos", with holidaymakers packed "shoulder to shoulder" along the narrow streets. The railway station resembled something from "like a horror movie", Regina revealed, and her family repeatedly had to duck into hotel lobbies to escape the overwhelming crowds. Regina, who owns a restaurant chain, explained: "We definitely saw it on social media. There are hundreds of beautiful videos of Positano which inspire you to go. And this year feels very trendy - lots of my American friends are travelling to Italy this year. "In the videos, you see everything looks completely empty and calm. In real life there were far too many people. It was just bananas. I think in the photos, they go on Photoshop and remove all the people so you think it'll be empty." Regina recounted her family's experience in Positano, where she, her husband Dan Simmons, 46, and their daughters Sofia, 16, and Camila, 13, spent a day on June 1 while holidaying in Sorrento. After a 10-hour flight to their Italian retreat, they were eager to soak up the local culture. She had envisioned tranquil streets, bustling local markets with fresh produce, and quaint, secluded eateries but was taken aback by the reality. Regina said: "We were overwhelmed by the amount of people. We had to look for a restaurant to hide in and make a game plan. Positano is all these tight little streets and everyone is walking together. Half the people are going up and half are going down. It was complete chaos. Everyone was touching, shoulder to shoulder." Despite the picturesque scenery, Regina noted that the crowded walkways made it impossible to browse the shops. While they found the town "lovely and pretty", they were let down by the tourist-centric atmosphere. She said: "We found everything was in English and there were Americans everywhere. I actually took Italian classes, and I never needed to use it." Although they enjoyed their overall trip, they're considering exploring a different European destination next time. Regina said: "If it's trendy on social media, everyone wants to do what everyone else is doing. Myself included! Don't believe everything you see on social media.

Tsunami warnings hit Japan and more Asian countries after powerful Russia quake
A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on July 30, rattling the region and triggering tsunami alerts across parts of Asia, including Japan, China, South Korea, and Taiwan. While the epicentre was deep in the northwest Pacific Ocean, the seismic activity sparked a wave of warnings for low-lying coastal areas across the region. So if you've got travel plans in East Asia — or you're already there and wondering whether to ditch the beach — here's the latest. Where exactly was the earthquake? The quake struck the Kamchatka Peninsula around 8.25am local time, just 119km east-southeast of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. This region, known as the Kuril-Kamchatka arc, is a notoriously active seismic zone. The tremor was shallow, at a depth of about 19.3 kilometres. It's now been recognised as the sixth-strongest earthquake ever recorded on Earth, tied with the 2010 earthquake in Biobío, Chile and the 1906 earthquake in Esmeraldas, Ecuador. Which Asian countries are affected? The initial tsunami warnings were issued for: Japan: tsunami warnings for waves up to 3 metres have been issued along Japan's coast, from Hokkaido in the north to the country's southern islands. Residents along coastlines and rivers have been advised to evacuate as a precaution. According to the latest reports, tsunami waves have reached parts of Japan, the highest being a 1.3-metre tsunami recorded at Kuji Port in Iwate prefecture. China: the country is on alert for tsunami waves between 30cm and 1 metre on its eastern coast. This comes amidst a tropical storm battering China's north. Taiwan: warnings issued for waves up to 1 metre on the country's southeastern and southwestern coasts. South Korea: primarily southern coastal areas like Jeju Indonesia: areas such as Papua, North Maluku province, and Gorontalo province remain on high alert for tsunami waves. The Philippines: large swathes of Pacific coastal areas in the Philippines are bracing for potential tsunami waves up to 1 metre high. While no immediate large waves were observed in most places, the situation remains fluid as authorities track aftershocks and potential sea-level changes. Should travellers be worried? If you're planning to travel to major Asian cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, or Taipei, there's no need to panic. These inland urban centres are operating as normal, with no major disruptions to flights or public transport reported as of now. If your itinerary includes beach towns, coastal hot springs, or island getaways, maybe hold off on that dip in the ocean for a bit. Some ferry services may be delayed or cancelled, and local alerts are in place. What now? Tsunami alerts can change quickly, especially after a deep quake with aftershocks. Travellers are advised to: To sum it up: a powerful undersea quake shook the Pacific, and parts of Asia aren't taking any chances. So far, no disaster – but caution is the name of the game. If you're already travelling in Asia, keep calm, stay inland if possible, and swap that seaside sunset for a neon-lit ramen joint instead.

Female tour guides in Afghanistan lead women-only groups as some travelers return
They wandered through the museum, listening attentively as their guide explained the antiquities in display cabinets. It could have been any tour group, anywhere in the world. But there was something unusual about this one. The group of foreigners visiting the National Museum of Afghanistan was made up only of women. Its guide was a woman, too — one of the first Afghan female tour guides in a country whose Taliban rulers impose the severest restrictions on girls and women anywhere in the world. Somaya Moniry, 24, hadn't known that tour guides existed, as a profession or even as a concept. But while browsing the internet for help on improving her English language skills, she stumbled upon Couchsurfing, an app where travelers connect with locals and stay in their homes. After hosting a traveler, 'I became very passionate about it and it was very interesting for me,' Moniry said. 'It was very unique. I have never heard about it before, so I said: 'Why not (do) this?'' Looking for the positive As she showed that first visitor around her hometown in western Afghanistan, she saw a new side to her country. 'Most of the things that we have heard (about Afghanistan) was just … negativity. The focus of the people, focus of the media, focus of headlines, all of them were just the negativity. And definitely we get influenced by that,' Moniry said. But for her, Afghanistan is far more nuanced. While there are undoubtedly problems in a place recovering from decades of war and chaos, there is also another side to the complex, stunning country. Her love for her homeland runs deep, and she is eager to share it. She hopes to gradually change people's perceptions. 'Whenever … I saw all of that natures, all those beauty, all those positivity, it changed my view totally,' Moniry said in her enthusiastic English. 'And definitely this can be also for other people.' One of those visitors is Australian Suzanne Sandral. She originally wanted to see Afghanistan in the 1960s but the pressures of having a family kept her away. Now at 82, she was part of Moniry's women-only tour group in Kabul. Afghanistan surprised her. 'It's not what I expected at all. I expected to feel rather fearful. I expected to be given a lot of ... accusatory looks. Not at all,' she said during a pause in sightseeing. 'Wherever you go in the streets, if you smile at someone and give them a little nod or say hello, you get a terrific response. So it's very different.' Jackie Birov, a 35-year-old independent traveler from Chicago who was not part of the tour group, called the Afghan people 'unbelievably hospitable.' However, 'I'm very aware that I have a lot more freedom than local women,' she said. A fledgling industry Four decades of war have kept tourists away from Afghanistan. But while the Taliban's takeover of power in August 2021 sent thousands of Afghans fleeing and shocked the world, the end of its insurgency against the previous U.S.-backed government also marked a sharp drop in violence. Attacks still occasionally occur, mainly by an Islamic State affiliate, and Western countries advise against all travel to Afghanistan. Still, the improved security is increasingly attracting foreign visitors drawn by the dramatic scenery, millennia of history and a deeply ingrained culture of hospitality. Tourism is a fledgling industry, with annual visitors in the low thousands. Most are independent adventure travelers. But guided package tours are increasing from countries as diverse as China, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Afghanistan's Taliban government is keen to welcome them. Isolated on the international stage — officially recognized only by Russia, which did so in July — the government sees how potentially lucrative tourism could be. Tourist visas, typically single-entry ones valid for stays of up to 30 days, have become relatively simple to obtain from the few embassies that issue them. Regular flights connect Kabul with major transit hubs such as Dubai and Istanbul. A question of ethics For some, the idea of visiting Afghanistan as a tourist is morally abhorrent, particularly given the government's treatment of women. Girls are banned from education above primary school level, and women live under myriad restrictions. The government dictates what they can wear in public, where they can go and who they can go with. They cannot walk in parks or eat in restaurants. Beauty salons are banned. A very limited number of professions, such as teaching and carpet weaving, are open to them. And the rules can change quickly. But those involved in tourism point to the positive effects that visiting Afghanistan can have. 'I truly believe in ethical tourism,' said Zoe Stephens, 31, a British tour leader at Koryo Tours, a company specializing in unusual destinations. 'I believe that you can divide politics and people, and that is the main thing for me. … A country is not a sum of its politics. It's a sum of so much more, it's a sum of its culture, its history, its food, and especially in Afghanistan, its people.' Glimpses into the women's world Of the three recent tours Stephens led in Afghanistan, two were women-only. Working with local female guides, including Moniry, they combine key attractions with visits to women's centers and cooking and embroidery classes from local women — worlds that are closed to male travelers. 'We always try and do something a little bit different that really makes our tours unique, as well as something that kind of gives back to the community,' Stephens said. 'So I felt that working with the female tour guides does both of those things really well.' The groups are small — one had eight women, the other three — but the company is looking to build a network of female guides across Afghanistan. 'What we try and do with this tour, especially the women's tour, is conquer those ethical concerns,' Stephens said. 'The idea is to learn about the lives of Afghan women in context.'
