Pat darlin' - Ascos Beach Hotel Coral Beach Paphos Cyprus. Thomas Cook use this hotel - have been there twice - but you'll probably need to wait until it starts to cool down a bit - mid - late September would I think be perfect.

Re: Travelling as a single
If you're concerned about travelling alone, book with a dedicated singles company, I have experience with Travel One or Friendship travel. Both are good and not cheap as they have to absorb the single supplement in their prices. But you go as an independent traveller to the hotel, then meet all the other single guests. Generally you all share a table at meal times and can if you wish, go on excursions which others are also booked on. Depending on the type of holiday, there will be others who want to do the same as you, so usually someone around to rub sunbloc on your back. Be aware though that the ratio women to men is approx 6 : 1. Great holidays generally, but not somewhere to meet the love of your life!Enjoy

Re: Travelling as a single
I admire women especially who travel alone
I am somewhat of a loner but I don't know if I could travel by myself even if I had the money to spend. I feel so embarrassed eating alone, like everyone would be watching me. Silly, I realize, but that's how I am. You'll find somewhere to go ventura & hope you have great fun
Gee Zsa Zsa, I didn't realize Hungary was safe for women alone, how refreshing is that?

Re: Travelling as a single
Interesting, AC. Eating alone is what bothers a lot of people. I'm used to it but then I've travelled alone for most of my adult life. Sometimes people see me on my own and ask me to join them, which is very kind, but I then feel guilty about intruding on their holiday so I keep fingers crossed that they don't ask!08-07-2014, 09:59 PM

I went on a weekend break with one of these companies and it was quite embarrassing the way half a dozen women would compete for the attention of each half-decent man! Low-cut dresses, tight trousers, raucous laughs at unfunny jokes, even surreptitiously edging their perceived rivals out of the way.
Great if you're a man though.

But what if you don't have any of those devices?
(Actually, I usually just take a good book.)
