Affordable holiday island for Brits with white sand beaches and Dubai-like restaurants that is loved by celebs

CYPRUS has been an affordable holiday destination for Brits for years, and it’s popular with celebrities too.

With white sandy beaches, delicious food, and beautiful villas, it’s no surprise that one beloved British singer even has a holiday home there.

Over the years, the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been spotted on the sunny island.

There have also been lots of British holidaymakers there like Kerry Katona, James Blunt, and Peter Andre – who has a strong connection to Cyprus that 20 years ago, he decided to build his own holiday home there.

In the city of Larnaca on the southeast coast of Cyprus, Peter has a villa with five bedrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court.

Talking to Sun Travel about his holiday home in Larnaca, Peter said: “The house is so beautiful and private. Obviously the smells, the foods, it reminds me of my childhood and my parents.

“I bought the land 20 odd years ago and I said ‘dad, here’s the money to build it’ and my dad spent three years building the most beautiful house.

“It’s very sentimental to us and the other thing is there are some amazing beaches with bright white sand.”

As for where to go, Peter added: “I like to go to quiet places. I don’t really like to go where it’s crazily busy.

“The food there is amazing and we love the restaurants. For anyone going to Larnaca, I have three recommendations. One is a new restaurants called Theta in Perivolia which is very near the airport. It does Mediterranean food, but done in the style of a Dubai 5-star restaurant.

“We go there and we’re like ‘why doesn’t anyone know about this place?’”

Peter also loves to go to a Japanese restaurant called Nippon.

He also added: “There’s another one called Opa Souvlaki Kiti, it’s not fancy, but if you want a proper Greek kebab done the Cypriot way, go there.”

Peter stayed tight-lipped about the quiet beaches he and his family head to on holiday.

But some of the most popular across the island according to Tripadvisor are Nissi Beach, Fig Tree Bay Beach, Coral Bay and Makronissos Beach.

For anyone who fancies a trip over to Cyprus, you can even book a stay in Peter’s Villa Amelia which is a short drive from Larnaca Airport.

Inside is five bedrooms, each one sleeping two people. The rooms have queen beds or single beds, and their own en suites.

The shared spaces include huge living area with two sets of sofas, as well as a separate dining and kitchen area.

Outside, there’s lots of places to relax by the pool or battle it out in a game of tennis.

It’s a great time to go to Larnaca too as TravelSupermarket revealed earlier this year that the city is cheaper this year compared to 2024.

Larnaca, a city on the southeast coast of Cyprus, has emerged as the holiday destination with the biggest price drop.

According to TravelSupermarket, the holiday comparison website, prices of a holiday to Larnaca have fallen by £495 per person.

The average price in 2024 was £1,292.04 and in 2025 is £797.97 – a 38 per cent decrease.

Flights from the UK take just over four hours and you can book flights with Ryanair from £34.99.

There’s another place a little further afield that Peter described as ‘a kids’ paradise’ – as he discovers the world’s most child-friendly holiday destination.

And here’s the Dubai-like spa hotel in the UK where Peter Andre and wife Emily go on child-free weekends.

‘An awful lot of people don’t know’ – Urgent warning for Irish drivers as Gardai set to clamp down on car rule

AN urgent warning has been issued to Irish drivers as Gardaí are set to clamp down on “illegal” car registrations.

Garda James Masters from Cobh Garda Station said they are clamping down on yellow and modified number plates.

In Ireland, vehicles must display a white number plate with black characters on the front, while the rear plate is allowed to be yellow with black characters.

Mimicking the UK style plates, putting a yellow plate on the front is considered illegal under Irish road laws.

Garda Masters revealed on C103’s Cork Today Show: “We do see some Irish registration vehicles that are yellow, which are illegal and non conforming.

“Even by googling this morning, you see very clearly what’s allowed and what’s not allowed – and we do see it.

“We’ve come across a lot of plates that are actually Irish plates, not UK –  But again, they’re yellow and they’re actually illegal. “

Irish road regulations require that all number plates follow strict guidelines on size, font and colour to ensure clear identification on the roads.

The font used on official plates is standardised to avoid any misreading by traffic cameras or law enforcement officers.

Garda Masters also mentioned that plates with italic fonts, bold fonts or any unusual styling are not allowed.

Non-compliant plates are a common reason for not passing the NCT.

These regulations are designed not only for law enforcement but also for safety and easy identification in traffic incidents or parking violations.

Revealing that modified plates are illegal, Garda Masters added: “An awful lot of people don’t know that.

“And again, you know, in my I suppose daily job, we do see it and you won’t pass your NCT with them anyway.

“So a lot of people that have them will actually have the correct number plates at home.”

Along with the plates, Gardaí are also reminding learner and novice drivers of their restrictions on the road.

LEARNER ALERT

Learner and novice drivers must display the proper L or N plates clearly and always be accompanied by a fully licensed driver when driving.

Irish road laws state that learner drivers cannot drive unaccompanied under any circumstances, with penalties including fines, penalty points and even vehicle seizure for breaches.

Garda Masters pointed out that although it’s easy to overlook small details like properly displayed plates or whether a learner driver is accompanied, they can have legal implications.

He said: “There has to be a fully licensed driver with them, and the laws are fairly severe.

“The car can be seized and there’s actually penalty points and a fine associated with that as well.

“For the parents, if your boy or girl is going out driving just to take a look at their windscreen, take a look at the number plate, and make sure that they’re driving with a fully licensed driver.”

Tina Satchwell murder investigation review ordered by top cop Drew Harris after remains missed in 2017 Cork home search

THE investigation into the murder of Tina Satchwell, whose remains were found under the stairs of her home in Co Cork, will be reviewed.

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris admitted that “in hindsight”, it may seem “pretty obvious” where the remains of the 52-year-old Cork woman were located.

Richard Satchwell was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday after being found guilty of the murder of his wife Tina by a jury at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin.

And Commissioner Harris‘ order for a review into the investigation comes following criticism that Tina Satchwell’s remains were missed by gardai in the first search of the home on Grattan Street in Youghal in 2017.

The trial of Richard had heard how there was construction work in the house following the murder, along with complaints of a bad smell.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony for new Gardai today, Commissioner Harris said that there are “lessons we wish to learn” from past cases.

He said: “We want to review that ourselves, like we have the expertise within the organisation, and obviously, then we will be reporting that to the Minister and to the Policing and Community Safety policing  authority, as is our responsibility.

“But I do think there are, there is definitely lessons that we wish to learn from all of these homicides where it’s missing persons, and then convert in time to a homicide investigation”.

Following Richard Satchwell’s sentencing earlier this week, Taoiseach Micheal Martin welcomed the sentence but said “it did take longer” than ordinary for the crime to be resolved.

He said: “The criminal justice system has worked here.

“It did take longer than maybe ordinarily but at least it is a crime that has been resolved and I would pay tribute to the Gardai for bringing it to this stage and for enabling a conviction to be secured.”

Terrifying moment lorry driver swerves manically across major A-road missing traffic by INCHES while 4x over legal limit

THIS is the terrifying moment a drunk trucker swerves four times across a major A-road, managing to just miss traffic by a few inches.

The lorry driver was caught on camera weaving along a busy road – at four times the legal drink drive limit.

Iurie Istrati, 56, was spotted by other drivers who rang 999 to raise the alarm at his lunchtime drink-drive session.

He was seen at 1pm swerving between lanes and crossing white lines in his HGV.

A court heard police responded to a 999 call reporting a HGV swerving between lanes and the edge of the carriageway on the A483 at Gresford, North Wales.

Despite attempts by officers to pull the vehicle over, Istrati continued driving – and narrowly avoided crashing into the roadside barrier.

Officers overtook Istrati on the A5 near Halton and gradually brought the HGV to a stop.

Istrati was taken into custody and provided a breath specimen of 127 micrograms of alcohol, almost four times over the legal limit of 35.

Istrati, listed as of no fixed abode but believed to be Polish, was jailed for nine months.

He admitted dangerous and drink driving at Mold Magistrates Court.

PC Ryan Sheppard said: “Istrati’s dangerous driving clearly could have caused a serious or fatal collision if he was not stopped.

“He showed blatant disregard for the safety of members of the public and the law.

“I thank the concerned driver who called our control room to alert us to this incident.

“I would like to thank the individual who phoned us with their concerns regarding the behaviour they witnessed – although we will never know, they have potentially saved lives.

“Reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads remains a priority for North Wales Police and we will continue to do all that we can to remove dangerous drivers from the roads.

“If you suspect somebody is driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs, I urge you to report this to us so we can take action and keep our communities safe.”

He was also disqualified from driving for three years and four months, after which he would be required to pass an extended driving test to renew his licence.
