A British tourist has found a slice of heaven where pints are only £2.50 (€3) and there’s a friendly pig to keep you company.
Sarah Holden fell in love with Cyprus over 30 years ago.
The 48-year-old travels to the Mediterranean island “every six weeks or so” and even got married there 24 years ago.

Sarah, of Preesall, near Blackpool, Lancashire, recently bought her first house in Cyprus and plans to “relocate there in a few years”.
And during one of her most recent travels, the mum-of-two discovered an authentic Cypriot bar that blew her away.
At Riccos Beach Bar in the resort town of Paphos, punters pay just €3 for a local KEO beer.
In addition to cheap amber nectar, visitors can enjoy stunning coastal views in the company of roaming animals, including fluffy chicks and a podgy pig.
Sarah, who runs the ‘Cyprus_Adventures’ TikTok page about the island’s “hidden gems”, said the bar was first opened in 1975.

“The owner normally has all sorts of animals wandering around,” she told What’s The Jam.
“He loves all his animals.
“And the bar is very welcoming and has great views of the locals’ beach.”

Sarah posted a video comparing the price of beer at Riccos to the UK.
She wrote: “UK: £6 for a pint and vibes.
“Cyprus: €3 for a KEO, a view, and a friendly pig!”
The clip went viral with 51,000 views and dozens of comments.
Sarah also shared a video about Ricco’s Beach Bar in May, calling it a “must-see” for anyone visiting Paphos.
That clip has been viewed nearly 230,000 times on her TikTok page.
One local said, “My favourite place.”
Another added: “KEO may well be the finest lager I’ve had the pleasure of tasting, nine weeks till I’m sipping back on an ice cold KEO on Ayia Napa Harbour.”
“I’m coming to Paphos next week, and we are a 20-minute walk from there, definitely going to visit! Thank you for posting this video,” said Cath.
Sandra remarked: “Wow, so cosy and beautiful, I would love to be there.”
“Cyprus is a true paradise,” added Elina.
Aellaras joked: “Mmmm, bacon.”
