Malta and Cyprus Head-to-Head: Budget, Weather, and Best for You
What’s going on, guys? Moto or Cyprus? You want some winter sun? Let’s find out which one is warmer and cheaper. And boy, wait till you hear some of the drink prices. Wow. So, as far as Europe, obviously, let’s not we’re not going to talk about the Canary eyes and stuff like that because those are good options as well. But let’s just dive in to Malta or Cypress. Now, I’ve been to both places during the winter and I wanted to give you my recommendations and my tips. And if you literally thinking of trying to find somewhere for the December this year or January, some winter sun, get away from Europe, the colder climate in Europe or America or wherever it is you are at this present time that’s cold, then these are two excellent choices. Here’s why. So, let’s dive into it. But I’m going to focus on December in this video. Um, I’m going to start with motor, then I’m going jump into Cyprus. So, let’s start with motor. Motor. Oh go and this is October, middle of October. October and temperatures were damn 25 to 26. So it’s amazing. So literally if you want to go somewhere that there’s no non- peak times, Moto is the place because you want to get some nice sun, you want to be able to go to beach, you want to be able to swim, you want to go to beach clubs and so on and so forth. You want to do act outdoor activities, then motor would be a great time for literally October and November. But again towards ending of November, come December, uh temperatures dip. But again too, in December, you’re looking at during the daytime looking between 15 to 17 degrees, which is still amazing. The sun’s going to be out. So, you know, I mean, realistic, you can still do outdoor activities. And if you’re brave enough to school swim, you could do it 17°. If you get a good day of 17°, [ __ ] I’ll do it. You go go and swim. Now, that’s better than obviously in December being in like, let’s say, London or France where it’s damn 1°ree or minus something, right? So, again, that’s a good option. Again, in the evenings, temperatures go down to about 12°. So, it gets really chilly. So, again, to 12° is not super cold, right? Still warmish when it comes to night. So, again, you just have to get a jumper, brisk jacket. Well, take a jacket, but again, you don’t have to have your winter jackets on. You don’t have to have scullies or gloves. So, that’s still amazing. You know what I mean? So, if you want to get a little bit of a vibe, Mortu is the place for you in December. And most importantly, because of these temperatures, this would be considered off peak. So, it would be less people. One thing you know about Moar, if you check out my other videos, Motos can get Mo can get very crowded. Matter of fact, Moar I would never go during peak time, meaning in the summertime. It it it’s just it’s a small country and I just can’t imagine in the summer how packed it could get. So Moto is a great choice because of the location. It’s literally between Italy and Africa. It’s right. It’s really small right in in the middle. So geography wise, it’s placed in a really great location. So literally the temperatures are warm all year round in a sense. So, it’s a great place to get away to. Um, temperatures can get up to 18, 19 depending on the day again. But you have to bear in mind during that time you’re going to get a lot of heavy rain. Matter of fact, in October we got rain. In um September, you get rain. You get rain um in different times because of the location and getting to tropical rains and so on and so forth. Cypress on the other hand when it comes to December and January is actually on the warmer side. Check out my previous video. Um, talked about Cyprus and I I show you evidence of how beautiful and sunny it is. You can even go swimming. Although the water was freezing um but let’s say outdoor pools, beach clubs, you can do that because some days it got up to 20 degrees which is amazing for December, right? So in the daytime you’re looking between 18 to 20°. Um at night it can drop down to 12 15 and depending but guys again too depending on location. Cypress is an amazing location. It’s the furthest country in Europe. It’s literally literally next to you literally can see um Lebanon from Cyprus. So it’s literally to the middle eastern end. So you could So again location wise is very very warm place all year round literally. You know what I mean? The winters are literally December to January after that it starts getting hot again. Starts getting over 20s. So you know what I mean? So it’s a great place and great location. The only thing is this year, of course, the year I go, there was loads of tropical rains and storms. So, a lot of days we had storms, especially at night. Um, so it rained a lot, but in daytime it was pretty sunny. So, there’s still time for you to do stuff and go out and explore. Um, but bear in mind there’s going to be a lot of rain during the time. But again, too, depending on the year, climate change, all that [ __ ] Um, some you can get a December where it’s pure sun or you can get a December where it’s rainy and tropical storms. So if I had to compare both motor and and Cyprus, Cypress is going to win this one because it’s warmer, generally warmer. It gets warmer and it’s it’s consistently warmer in December and January. Okay, food prices and daily budgets. Well, let’s generally just focus on the food prices, guys, and and some of the drink prices, guys. Both countries are amazing. Um, I would lean more to Cypress with the food wide, quality wise, but I’m not going to really do that right now. But if I had to compare the food, Cypress wins. It’s quality. It’s amazing food. was like Mediterranean, Greek/ a little bit Turkish as well. So, it’s a little blend, but the food quality is amazing. More to the food quality is good. Um, but it was it’s a mesh with some Italian, African mot. It’s a bunch of mixed stuff. Um, food is good, but I would if I had to compare both, I would I prefer Cyprus food. Mo, the great thing about motor is you can get cheap foods in a sense. When you say cheap foods, right? Um, I’ll give you some prices. You tell me if that’s cheap for you and your budget. But generally, cheap eats, whether it be cafe because you have loads of cafes that do full small restaurants. I’m talking I’m going to do cafes and mid-range restaurants. I’m not going to go to top range restaurants and stuff a lot. Generally, per meal, you’re looking at 10 to 15. U mid-range, you’re looking at 40 to 60. So, again, that’s not cheap. All right, that’s damn rest of Europe prices. That’s damn nearly London prices as well. You know what I mean? So this is why I’m saying people saying motor mot is not cheap in my opinion and motor is not cheap especially when it came to food and eating out. I found it similar price to London and London literally one of the most expensive cities if not the most expensive cities in the world. I would say in London and New York is the most expensive cities in the world. Um so you look at €10 to 15 per day. Our mid-range you’re looking at 40 to 60. Um the great thing about motor and motor really like I was so shocked and surprised alcohol is very cheap of motor weird. I’m talking about even in the weekends like you go like Valleta you go to the side uh streets you literally go hop from bar club to bar club and literally drink for €4 which is absolutely amazing and it’s a absolutely bonus and amazing plus especially you guys who want to go out for night life that Malta absolutely shines in. It absolutely outshines Cypress in this aspect. But anyway, drinks you looking at local places two two to about€3 250 to about 350 um depending drink draft beers and stuff like that. Wine bottled wine is going to be a lot more expensive but beers your mixed drinks are going to be a lot cheaper. So if you want to talk about daily budget for food wise, not let’s talk about drinks food wise, you’re looking at 30 to€50 per day eating. I’m talking about breakfast, lunch, and dinner per person per day, right? So realistically €30 is the low end, but €50, you know, it can add up. You know what I mean? So I mean you could always find cheaper um options obviously if you look around and go in different places, but definitely don’t eat in the tourist based areas cuz prices going to be jacked. Side is literally the similar range. which is literally about €10 to 15. Um 45 to 60 depending on mid-range restaurant per person. Again, like I said, guys, this is pretty expensive. Matter of fact, this is very expensive. Um it’s a lot cheaper in Poland and all these other different countries. Those prices not going to be as high. I just did Albania. Albania was not that high. Um it was euros and Albanian money. Um but prices was definitely high. I was eating in a really good mid-ray restaurant about €25 to 30 max. Beers. Let’s just talk about beers. Um, again, same thing. Uh, a good thing about Cypress actually. They have the separate wines which is a lot cheaper. So, ask for local wines that’ll be cheaper. They have local spirits which is actually pretty good as well. Um, bears are looking you’re looking at 3 to4. So, significantly more expensive. Well, not significant maybe a 50 more expensive than motor. So, like I said, alcohol is way cheaper motor guys. Um, you if you’re going out, especially night out, you’re going to spend more in Cypus. It’s just a fact. So daily budget you’re looking at with between 30 to 55 per day eating mid-range even lower per day. So you have to look at 30 to 55 for food spending. So if I compare both um I mean food quality wise Cypus no doubt but as far as affordability motor be much more cheaper options and especially if you want to have a drink or two definitely motor. So let’s talk about transport uh prices and easiest ways to get around uh both places. Um, motor I’m going to give you the conclusion for the both which one wins first transportation in a minute but motor let’s talk about motor actually is very good for when it comes to public transportation the public buses are very reliable single ticket cost you about €2 per ticket and you can go back and forth um a a great way you want to see the city guys is a hop on hop off bus cuz I keep saying it on my other previous videos hop on hop off bus guys it cost me it cost it cost me €30 and that was like a 48 hour window. So meaning if let’s say I I booked it today and the weather was bad tomorrow. I didn’t I don’t have to go as long as I don’t uh I don’t swipe it. I went on on a second day because the winds are really high. So I went on like the second day and just hop on hop on bus and I just went around the entire country. Um you can hop off whenever you want. Boom boom boom. So again too guys if you want to do that make sure you get up early because generally the the last routes stop about 3 to 4, right? So, if you jump on it on one, you’re not going to see it too much. But anyway, hop on hop off bus. But public transportation is really good, guys. Um, this airport transportation obviously there’s taxis, boat, Uber is pretty big there. I love One thing I love about Moar, guys. Uber, they is Uber is a really good company. Uber and they have Uber and Bolt on the vehicle. So, literally, you know which vehicles are Uber and Bolt. Whereas other countries they have they use their private vehicles and you you know you don’t you’re like is this a Uber and you just jump into random cars. Whereas here you know which one is the Uber and bolt because there’s massive signs in the side of the cars which is great. But again car hire god oh god I don’t want to go into car hire. I’m going to do a separate video about my horrible car car hire experience. Guys you should 100% never use this company if you go to Malta guys. This is probably the worst rental company ex company company and experience I’ve had in my entire life. But that’s a story for another day. So literally taxis, public transportation, public buses, there’s no trains, um uh it’s a small country. Um and car high. That’s three best ways to get around. I personally hired a car, so for me it’s very easy. Um, again, one thing about Malta which is great and also not so great is there’s loads of free parking in White Bays, which is amazing for Morta because no other country does this where they give allocate free parking all over. I’m talking about inner center on the outskirts, wherever, wherever there’s a White Bay, you can park for free. But the problem is obviously because there’s loads of cars, it’s overcrowded island, these you trying to find these spots is like trying to find Batman. The best way to and cheapest way to get around Moar is literally taxis which is very reasonable and like ride share so you share with other people. Cypress is not the best when it comes to transportation. They’re really bad. It’s weird because they have amazing roads way better than motor roads but the transportation public transportation is not very good. They have intercity uh local buses and stuff like that but they they literally do so random. They don’t come uh frequently at all. Um it’s good to get a bus. Let’s say you live in Alana car or pathos. I would say pathos. Um buses are pretty a lot more frequent there. There’s a lot more older people there. So, it’s a lot safer to get on the buses and more reliable. But once you start leaving pathos, it’s [ __ ] I’m just going to Yeah. So 50 it will cost you about €15 to get like a travel pass, day pass. So that’s pretty expensive, you know, whatever. But I mean you literally can go with that pass. You can go anywhere. There’s also train but specific location like Alanico to Llamasur um so on and so forth. I taxis guys I 100% would not recommend taxis in Cypus. taxis and cyers are very expensive. Um, and it’s not as safe as as um your motor because motor, like I said, you got Uber, bolt, bang on the side of the cars, whereas Cyprus, it’s it’s it’s just random people doing their jobs. But again, it could be €4 plus depending where you’re going, distance, so on so forth, hit traffic. Um, so the best way, honestly, the best way and the easiest way to get around Cypress, guys, is to rent a car. If you can’t drive, you’re [ __ ] Um, that’s the easiest way, guys. Obviously, you can get around the taxes and stuff like that, but that would add up and that would cost. But 100% rent a car if you’re in Cypus. So, if I had to compare transportation with Moto and Cypus, Moto wins hands down. But obviously, Moto wins hands down because Mo is very small. So, it’s pretty much easier to get around the country anyway. But not only that, they have fairies going to Goo, which is right next to the big motor island itself. Uh those come very frequent. So I think they’ve really done a great job with transportation even though the roads are [ __ ] and there’s cars everywhere. But transportation in motor is very easy to get around. So Moto wins this one. So nightife guys, you guys want to go out, party, shake that ass, you know what I mean? Boogie, meet someone, so on and so forth. Um both places are well renowned for its partying. Now, I’m not going to go to the the the the young part in the [ __ ] parts with his drugs and all kinds of alcohol and [ __ ] like that. I stay away from [ __ ] like that nowadays. Um, but these places are significantly very well known and significant very well, highly rated party places. People from Europe, especially England, go to both places to go party and [ __ ] like that. Malta Malta has amazing bars, amazing rooftops and spots like in St. Julian’s, Peaceville, uh, Valleta. I’m going to break down the three actually. I might as well do that right now, guys. So, you got the St. Julian’s. So, l you got the island right here. You got St. Julians, which is up north. Uh you got uh Peaceful was bang in the middle. You got Valetta right right next to Peaceville. Um so, age range gap. If you’re in the 20s, Peaceville will be great for you. There’s literally just a strip of bars. You just hop in. You can hop in and hop in and hop out of bars and there’s loads of them. So depending on your music, your taste, whatever you can find, whatever is in your niche in Peaceville. So it’s great for young people, guys. Um, but obviously be careful. Make sure you take care of your drinks because there’s a lot of spiking in drinks and [ __ ] like that. And also there’s petty theft here and there. Even though motor is pretty safe, but I’m just letting you know. So Peaceville is for the youngans, 20 year olds, you go to Peaceville. If you’re a little bit grown up, uh, St. Julian’s a great option. I stayed in St. Julian. St. Julian is great, but St. Julian is more touristy. and more older older loads of older folks. So the older so you talking about 50 plus um they go party in St. Julian’s although uh Dela Cafe is in St. Julian’s uh by the beach it’s one of the most well-known beach clubs and the best party places when they do events in all of Moar. So that’s in St. Julian’s but aside of that it’s more older people right now if you’re mid-range 30 to to 45 50 range and you want to just chill nice vibes before you u for me was my favorite part and as far as night life I went there quite a bit and you single streets where there’s loads of bars and you can hop in and hop off great thing about motor guys they have lots of night life and great thing about life it’s not expensive because in a lot of these places I don’t know about summertime guys so maybe they charge but in off peak winter October you can hop in you can go literally any in and out bars without cover charges which is amazing I didn’t go to any massive massive clubs I went rooftops no cover charge so you realistically all you do is playing food and drinks which is amazing said the great thing about stand out by motor my alcohol is really cheap I was so surprised in Valleta I was I was literally getting charged €4 for like mixed drink like let’s say um uh Roman Coke uh vodka orange juice. Um, not wine. Wine’s a little bit more expensive, but wine is still about5 to6, which is still good compared to London. Um, mixed drinks, beer, €4. And I was like on Saturday, I was like, how much is 4 €4. I was like, wow. Right. So, it’s pretty and and that I’m talking about that’s every bar you go to in the strip. So, alcohol and is really affordable there in Morta. That’s a very great plus. Cyprus, you obviously know about Nappa. I mean, most English people know about Inappa. I’ve never been. I ain’t going. Um, but it’s it’s their big party place and [ __ ] like that. Um, so obviously that’s a hot spot and when it comes to night life, most people go there. But [ __ ] all that. We’re going to talk about normal night life. So Lemma and Poss got really good night lives. Um, Pos is a lot more quieter, but it’s a smaller town, which is really dope. Uh, got good vibes, especially in the summer. Nice little clubs. You can hop in and hop off as well, but hop in and hop out. But Law for me is the best whole Cypress. It offers all around night life from the marina uh beach clubs and also like regular clubs in the oldtown. So I would say lisol for night life amazing. Drinks as far as in clubs are like3 to5 €6 depending what you’re drinking. Uh drinks can go up all the way to 7 to8 cocktails could be €10. So depending I found obviously alcohol a lot more expensive in Cyprus compared to Moltar. So but I mean you can get anything you want um still. So I I you know drinks can be seven plus euros. So I say that’s very expensive when it comes to Europe. Both places are lively when it comes to light life. So realistically you will not honestly you will not you would not be let down either way. You go to both places you’re going to find something. But obviously motor is a lot better because it’s a lot easier to navigate. It’s literally there’s there’s literally spots and you just find the spots and go. So whereas um in Cypress you have to travel and base yourself in different places. So if you’re in between, it might take you forever to get to certain places. Um, and you have to make sure strategically you have to place yourself where there’s going to be good night life. So mult win for night life, guys. And and it’s a lot more affordable. Sorry. So activities, things to do. I mean, if you want, this would take forever, but if you want me to do a indepth um video about things to do in Mortar or in Cypus or either one, a matter of fact, I want to do one in Mortar. That’ll be my next video. So, let me know in the comments if you want if you want to know something specifically, let me know in the comments and I’ll do that and I’ll touch on that. But, I mean, amazing things, guys. My standout thing to do in Morton was literally the private small um speedboat tour. Um, it’s private. You get a really nice brand new speedboat. It looks amazing. Very amazing. Um, check it out in the video right there. Beautiful. Um, and that was an amazing tour. The tour guy was amazing from Indonesia. So, me and clicked on that because I’ve been to many places in Asia and stuff like that. We were just chatting. Um, super dope, great tour. You go to the blue lagoons, you see the fresh water and um, it’s a dope. It’s an all day tour. Um, there’s two slots, morning to afternoon, then afternoon to evening. So, evening obviously the bet because you can see the sunset and it’s dope. Uh, very romantic, super dope. Um, if you want to know this speed company, I highly recommend them. Amazing. Um, it cost me €50. let me know in the comments and I’ll send the information out to you. Uh for me that was my favorite um activity to do in Malta. It was super dope. Um so I mean there’s loads of things to do, museums, especially in Malta, there’s so much history, museums and cathedrals and stuff like that. Um of course in Cypress there’s lots of history as well. Uh ancient Greek history and stuff like that. Um water parks, all that stuff. Um but when it comes to as far as activities especially if you have a family um things to do family better family based um Cyprus will win this one family based when it comes to individual couples you want things to do and you could do things because it’s a smaller place Moto hands down win so I’m not like I said I’m I’m going to keep this short when it comes to activities going on forever but um beaches guys going to beaches and sun beds guys I want to do that if you’re following me by now or you’re new to the channel I love going to beaches. I was born by the beach. I love beaches. And when I go to warm climates, they have to have a beach somehow. If not, I ain’t going. So, let’s talk a little bit about Malta. Uh Malta literally has public beaches, meaning you don’t have to pay. They are free, which is amazing. Unlike [ __ ] Italy where every beach you step on, you have to pay to use the beach. Like, a beach should be free, you idiots. But anyway, uh so lit and it’s funny cuz Mortar is right next to Italy. It’s right next to Sicy. So literally if you’re in Sicily, you want some free bridges, just go to Malta. Again, of course, Malta doesn’t is not renownedly known for its amazing, beautiful beaches, but they have beaches nevertheless. And yes, they do have sand beaches, guys. You have to do some research. If you want some of the ones I went to, let me know in the comments. They are some sand beaches. They’re not Caribbean sand, but they are sand. U I’ve watched previous videos and people saying that there’s no sand. You’re just jumping off rocks and [ __ ] like that. No, they are sand beaches. There’s quite a bit. I saw quite a bit actually. Some of them man-made, but they’re sand beaches. So now, depending where you go, sun beds now, they come in one or two. They come in one, actually. Um, it’s not like Albania. Check out my previous video. Albania, they come in a set, so you get two. Here, they just come in one, so it’s just one. And they don’t come with umbrella. It’s very, very low budget here. So, you want a chair. You want a chair. It’s going to run you between €8 to€10 depending. um depending 10 year olds, it can even go to 20 depending on the beach. I guess it depending on the time, but generally I found between 8 to 15 per chair of the beaches I went to. Of course, when you want to get a chair, an umbrella in beach clubs, that’s going to be more expensive. Cafe de Soul in St. Julian, whatever the [ __ ] it’s called. um beach chairs two a set of two comes with umbrella €30 to50 to 100 depending if you want to cook a bar whatever the [ __ ] they call like a bed type thing that will cost you €100 um you could pick in front of the pool or behind you know depending on the section it goes from 30 all the way to 100 you have to have that price range in mind 30 all the way to 100 for a beach chair Cyprus um also have public beaches meaning you have to pay. But again, of course, you can just take a towel, put it on the ground, and do same thing with a motor, right? But if you want a beach chair, I like beach chairs generally because sand gets [ __ ] everywhere. I get beach chairs. So depending realistically, depending where you are in Cypress, you can get beach chairs as cheap as €3,5. So beach chairs wise is it’s a lot more affordable here in Cyprus and it doesn’t get as packed. So realistically, if you have a car, you can really explore and find really nice beaches. So beachwise cypress wins um affordability cypress winds um again to you get premium places where you can get beach chairs up to €30 7 to30 so it depends like I said where you go if it’s premium it’s very well known so [ __ ] Instagram or Tik Tok they’re going to be more expensive right but if you’re a beach lover the great thing about this both places have public beaches and you can go and there’s lots of different beaches you can explore obviously Cypress has more beaches cuz it’s it’s a better location. Um, and you you literally can go and find it. There’s loads of some hidden beaches as well. So, obviously you need a car. So, there it’s more beaches. Whereas motor is a smaller place, less beaches. But there are some beaches and some decent beaches. Water isn’t clear. If you want really a nice fresh swim, you go to the lagoon like a blue lagoon, this lagoon, that lagoon. Those are better and more clear. So, when it comes to beaches and affordability, Cypress wins this one. So guys, before I end this video, um, what do you think so far? Molar, Cyprus. Obviously, the way I’ve gone so gone so far, you probably can gather which one I’m l to, but anyway, I’ll make a decision in a second. But guys, I just want to give you a heads up of um who which place is best for who. For instance, if you’re a solo traveler, guys, Cypus would be great for you. Um but if you ask me though I would recommend Morta because one motor is smaller two you can easily get around three so you can easily meet people right there’s going to be some other solo travelers there’s people from all over world there’s a lot of English speaking people so and the motif speak English as well um so it’s easier to navigate and get around and meet people so I would recommend MA because it’s a smaller base um Cyprus is great as well if you have a car that you can move around and you have to find the pockets you you’re going to meet other travelers as well. You can island hop hop easier. But my if you’re solo traveler, my opinion guys, Motar will win. Now couples, romantic getaways guys and that’s all around things to do. Beaches, affordability, moving around easily, wanting to explore, couples would fit better in Cypus. Um Ma as well, great place. Actually, I want to go to back to Ma. Um I’ll do a couple trip to Ma. that would be great, but Cypress would be better, guys, cuz it just got to be more exploring and more to do. So, um I would say romantic getaways. Um Cyprus, guys. Now, guys, if you’re 50 plus in the older bracket, um no offense, if you’re older bracket, Mort is going to suit you better, guys, cuz Mort is great. It’s a small pocket, small. You can get around, explore, and see things. You get on the hop on hop off bus, cathedrals. It’s more of a slower pace, chilled pace. So, I think guys, this will fit you perfectly. So I think Molar instead of Cypus Cyprus more the younger mid age crowd goes and they can get busy and most importantly navigating and getting around unless you want to keep drive find yourself driving and stuff like that. Public transportation is not good in Cypus at all. So you realistically need to take taxis or buses whereas motor is the other it’s the other way around. Easy to get around. Public transportation is great. So if you’re 50 plus I would say Malta is a great place for you for budget backpackers. Um, both wins to be honest. Um, you’re going to get good savings if you’re on a budget with both places. Um, but I reckon if you’re a budget traveler, let’s say you’re solo or budget traveling together as group and you’re young, I would say motor because when it comes to food affordability, moving around, it’ be so much cheaper and night life would be cheaper, guys. So, I would lean to mortar if for budget travelers and backpacking just be easier for you to get around. of again if you want to see more you want to go from city to city then of course Cyprus right now for families guys I don’t want to leave you guys out obviously Cypus hands down because guys one it’ be safer but if I was had my family and I was traveling more motor more motor more motor more motor more motor more motor more motor more motor more motor more motor more I’ll be especially I driving I’ll be looking left right it’s so they drive horribly out there [ __ ] terrible so dangerous I I saw about five accidents in the space of six days in motor so Uh, Cypress is 100% safer for family. There’s much to do. It’s warmer. It’s familyfriendly. It’s safer. Um, you know what I mean? It’s easier to navigate. There’s water parks. There’s stuff to do out. There’s history things. You could do day trips. So, honestly guys, familywise, the best choice would be Cypress. U, do not look at Motown. Moa, it would be so much more of a headache to do as a family. So guys, if you’re looking for somewhere to go and get away in December, get some winter sun, especially if you’re going from the UK or America, wherever you may you may be, these two countries are absolutely great choices. If you put a gun to my head, scratch that. If you said, you have to make a decision. You have to make a choice out of these two. I would I would go for Cypress. I’ll go for Cypress because Cypress is just going to be warmer, better climate, and it’s just a lot more chilled, a lot more quiet. December, November, sorry, December, January, it’s a lot, it’s off peak, and it’s very quiet in Cyprus where in Mo because it’s known, it’s easy, easy ride from UK, it’s still pretty busy, guys. So, and it’s a small island. So, I I can I can I can’t even imagine going in the summer. It’ be so packed. It’ll be so packed. And I went October, mid October, and it was still pretty busy, guys. So, um, if I had to pick guys all around, just a chilled um, no stress holiday, I would pick Cypress, guys. So, Cypress wins this one, which is weird because I the entire video I leaned to Mort. Mo won a lot of things. But that’s just my opinion, guys.
