DEPORTED and BANNED from ENTERING CYPRUS indefinitely!!!? 

Hiya Lee. I was one of those people who recommended Cyprus but unfortunately you went totally out of season. That’s why so many of the bars and restaurants looked closed down. It’s not like the Canary Islands which are all year round.Come from back between May and November the weather is fantastic and you would see a totally different side to Paphos. I have a house in Peyia and spend a lot of time over there and the road works, yes they have been going on for 2 to 3 years but it has been in stages throughout Paphos. Not all at once. If you’re coming to Cyprus please don’t let Lee’s experience cloud your views. Cyprus is a wonderful place.👍

I have to admit, I don't entirely understand why someone would travel so much but look for/expect everything to be English. The point of international travel I believe is to embrace the differences and widen your experiences. Not go to Cyprus and eat egg and chips.

We go every year in October and absolutely love it you are out of season and they are trying to improve for visitors

Normally enjoy watching all your videos Lee. However so disappointed in your Cyprus videos. You haven't filmed 'Cyprus' You have focused entirely on the problems with the resort of Paphos. However, the 1st day's video was sufficient to make the point. As per so many comments you chose to stay around the resort, albeit aside from a very short trip to Limassol. Cyprus has so much more to offer. If you like history, why not visit the archaeological world heritage Roman site, with beautiful mosaics.? It was a 2 min walk from the restaurant where you ate the steak. This latest vlog summed it up for me. Your last day on the island and you chose an English breakfast. You have sadly missed out on so much.

Planning advice: go to a town you don’t like & stay there for almost a week, cancelling the other towns you said you’d visit. Madness!

I am half Cypriot and lived there 18yrs. You can not put the whole island down because of one place you have been to. Have you travelled to any of the villages across the island? Lefkara? Pyla? Troddos mountains? where they cook only traditional? As for the weather i only ever experienced rain for around 4-6 weeks in the whole year 👍 You have to explore the island far more before knockin it

It is a total travesty that you haven’t bothered to travel to other parts of Cyprus. The Troodos mountains ( pine forests) are amazing. The tomb of President Makarious is a must see. There is an interesting rare type of goat to be seen there too. The far north eastern corner has Aphrodites pool which is amazing. The whole of the north Cyprus coastline especially Kyrenia are a must see. The towns of Larnarca and Famagusta are well worth visiting. Try the beautiful temples along the south coast. It is so sad that the MacMaster does what he always does and gives very shallow click bait reviews which are NO GOOD to anyone. Who the hell cares about snotty eggs. MacMaster please grow up and give your intelligent discerning viewers what they are looking for. You don’t have an automatic right to your viewers. There are far better presented channels which are more worthwhile watching. Don’t waste our time. Last chance!!!

Cyprus has been 'on the slide' for the last fifteen years. A battered and corrupt euro economy, massive internal manipulation by Russian money, and a never ending stream of poor middle Eastern immigration. A similar journey into Ratshit as the UK has suffered.

That woman hovering whilst you're eating could tell you were thinking just pixxoff 😆😆

the milkfloat will be flat when you get back

Lee is entitled to his opinions, however we will still visit twice a year. We have done the touring around in the past but now prefer a hotel based holiday with pleasant walks along the seafront path each day. Yes there is construction going on to replace the aged drainage and infrastructure, but you can avoid that area. Plus Bar Street was once a bustling place but tastes have changed and it has fallen out of favour, but it is only one street and there are many others to explore. It will eventually be renovated but the authorities are prioritising their works which do seem to be slow progress, however the same was true of the harbour area which is now looking very nice. By the way if you venture away from the harbour restaurants there are some traditional eating places that offer good Cypriot dishes at affordable prices. As a former butcher that steak was never Fillet and grossly overpriced. You could have done much better and shown Cypriot cuisine in a better light than your video did. In saying this if we all liked the same places they would be far too overcrowded and suffer like places in Spain and the Canaries where locals are voicing concerns about too much tourism.

the M25 has been worked on for like 40 years and its still not finished.

Lee why did you not explore the historical sites wile you was there ,Cyprus has some brilliant history

Paphos admittedly isn’t the ultimate yardstick to use to give an all round impression of Cyprus as an island. If you’re staying in that part of the island the best experiences in culture and cuisine are found off the beaten track either away from Kato Paphos or Tombs of the Kings Avenue or in the nearby villages that surround Paphos. For true Cypriot cuisine or the best pizza or Italian food in Paphos apart from Ristorante Bacco, it’s a known fact that Gennadios Souvlaki and La Sardegna da Gino next door are the places to be. There is always queues outside for tables, a mixture of locals and holidaymakers mainly and a family oriented feel.

Tut-tut, Lee... 'Banned and Deported'? CLICKBAIT! 😱 Also, didn't give your score on the food (unless I missed it?). I'd give the food a 6/10. The coffee looked a 9/10 though. On a side-note... a little awkward that the lady was standing over your shoulder as you were trying to eat. Cheers for the upload, Lee. 👍

Is it "pick on Lee" day 😂😂😂

How the feck can an egg yolk be too yellow ? lol

The master of click bait.😂

Been following you since the Tenerife days and it’s been class, however I feel you have been massively critical of Cyprus specially going out of season, it isn’t your Brits abroad Blackpool feel that Tenerife and Benidorm give. It’s actually a lovely island , maybe next time visit in season id say go to Protaras it is a lot better than paphos.

Well Lee I know you can have your opinion on a place but sorry to say you got what you deserved it seems from the time you had arrived it was not British for you so you spent about 5 days wondering where all those Englsh food places were. Wow you found a Fish bar with all your English comforts then found this place Tea for two then breakfast looked horrible so you could not wait to get back to the UK . The best place you showed was that Phivos where you had great local food Well remember you did go there out of season so hope you were not expecting everything to be busy that is time of the year where they get ready for the summer season. So Lee if you really want a great english food and way of life then go to those places in Spain where there is so much there. you will feel at home there. So this is just my opinion .

You came you saw and you went.😂

5:34 - 'Bit noisy, get an electric'. I had to laugh, the hypocrisy is simply staggering 🤐.

What you have shown here.. especially Paphos.. that’s the most depressing place I have ever seen.. I don’t feel it either.. it has no vibe.. although the locals are very nice.. i have made my conclusion.. i won’t go to Cypress

as someone who grew up in Cyprus and have been following you for some time, I'm extremely disappointed at your focus...Cyprus is an amazing place but DON'T just stay in Paphos.... keep to EV's if EVer... ;-)

Come on home Lee. That display lemon meringue pie was probably made from Polyfilla. ( Like the rest of Paphos).😉

All I say u went wrong time of the year, try again in the summer or other year or so , Cyprus is lovely place to be

Been to Cyprus a few times, i follow couple RU-vidrs out there, we get shown all the lovely villages they have, and my long standing childhood friend lives in the mountains, love the place

I wasn’t keen on Cyprus but it was many years ago but hired a jeep and drove up to the Trudos mountains that gets you away from the hustle of the town in peak season.

Tbf it looks awful there , try Madeira if you want to go somewhere beautiful

There's a lot of history you missed in Cyprus

But Paphos new town isn’t Cyprus. You liked the old town and It’s a big island. You shouldn’t judge the island just by one tourist town that they’re trying to make better. There are some beautiful villages. You have only seen a tiny tiny bit of the island. Protaras is lovely and Ayia Napa. Try going back in season and you’ll see a difference.

I have only been to Pathos in Cyprus once , it was my Nices's wedding , not sure of the laws these days but back in 2011 when we attended the wedding , English couples could only get married in the town hall on a Thursday, which fortunately was mine and my twin brothers birthday the Thursday they got married. We had one of the old buses as transport for the wedding party.

Keep doing what you are doing, Lee. Tell it as is, always. People spend a lot of money to travel to these places. If it's a S***hole, tell people. It's up to the resort to put right. Far too many vloggers are paid to promote places that don't deserve it. Honest reviews are a godsend for travelers. Never be intimidated by lunatics 😊👍

I dont understand tourists who seek out their native foods overseas. Enjoy the cuisine and culture of the place you are visiting. I love a Good English Breakfast as much as next person but come on!

Stick to Magaluf M8 it’s more suited to what you are looking for !!

Go to Corfu and do a boat trip to Paxos & Antipaxos. By far 1 of my best destinations in Europe.

You are doing an amazing job, I got married in Cyprus and I've had family there and myself and the wife have gave it a couple of chances since and I personally wouldn't waste my money going on holiday there ever again because there are so nany better places to be 🌞

I cant stand it when im eating and someone starts up a conversation,just leave me to eat please!!!

When I was in London and York in 83' scaffolding was up at Elizabeth tower and at a big church in York. But it didn't bring me down lots of other things to see and do.

Hi Lee! We were in Paphos last year with a wedding party, staying in a hotel that was more like a prison. When we left the resort our experience was similar to yours - part building site, part tip. Not somewhere we’d rush back to. Your films are absolutely representative of our experience, some nice parts but you really have to seek them out. Would we return? Nope.

Love how your trying to crack on your with your breaky politely when the waitress was there 🙈🤣🤣

As it looks right now, some of the seaside areas of the UK would be just as good or better in season, minus the palm trees, of course. I am sure the permanent residents are happy to see you since you help support the local economy. I learned to read the Greek alphabet many years ago and have trouble with the lower case letters. But reading the menus you have posted has been so much fun. The prices at this place are amazingly reasonable.

Such a shame your experience in Paphos wasn't good. It's such a beautiful place and usually very busy in season. When the renovation is complete it will be so much nicer too. I was there in November last and am going back on Sunday. Apparently the weather has been glorious the last week. Hopefully the building works will be completed soon too. 🤞 Most places don't open up until April time. In full season it's absolutely buzzing everywhere. I guess you can only say what you see and give an honest review. Maybe go back one day in season.

Ignore the man that argued with you on the street. Agree to disagree. Going home day on vacation sometimes can be the best day of vacation. Safe trip home.

Who knew the builders outside his appartment at 2am were members of the local electric car appreciation society

You should be banned lee after basically taking the mick out of Cyprus. I think that was your intention from the start

He did not let the pretty lady come between him and his breakfast

Hi Lee, isn't it strange, the ways of some people ? Okay, so they love it here, building rubble and all. But they also want YOU to love it. No, I don't. I have every right not to like something which YOU love. Man, free speech, what free speech ? And this crap about 'being out of season' to explain every tourist disaster is a load of rubbish. We have public works in Sydney which have gone way over budget and way over schedule, why ? Because of pathetic organizing, because of 'jobs for the boys', you know, O'Reilly's Men from Fawlty Towers. Don't change your style, Lee ! All the best !

We visited Paphos in August 2021 (my last 'family' holiday) and there wasn't the major roadworks when we were there, but some work on buildings (we thought it was typical new hotels being built). However, 'Bar Street' looked very similar to how it looked on one of your other videos, with loads of empty, seemingly abandoned bars, and that was in Peak Season (August). However at the time, it was the first summer after Covid, so we put it down to that, but seems lots of those places never recovered and came back. We did enjoy our holiday (at the time), and think part oif your trip has suffered being out of season. But good that you also show these places at different times of year too, so people know what to expect, if they prefer to go when its not full of families with kids. Onwards, my friend.

You are filming and reporting what you see and video doesn't lie. (I love Paphos but wouldnt get defensive about it, your just pointing out the issues and it like everywhere has its issues. Ignore the bloke having a pop.) I do think if you had gone in season with the sunshine it would have been much better. (Sunshine always makes things nicer) Everyone wants different things from a holiday. We love Paphos but the building works you show are bad but I believe they are due to be finished by peak season? (Going late May so will see) We go most years so can confirm there have been building works for last 5 or 6 years, however always in different places. (Started in old town, then papantonios supermarket road, by rose pub, kennedy sq access road, new & old bus station, old market, tomb of kings rd, shopping mall rd, promenade etc.) This is why the taxi driver moaned as constant diversions in place. We were there last September and the bit you filmed had only just been started and was nowhere near as bad as it is now so not true to say going for 2 years, but is true to say work in that general area going on for 2 years. Yes it's a poor experience but major investment going in and it will be a lot better when its finished. 🤞 (Appreciate as a one off new visitor its not what you want to see though) We love Paphos for its relaxed vibe and unlike some other resorts its not such a tourist trap. Others say they love Ayia napa or protaras, Limassol etc. done them all and we rate Paphos above any of the others? (In fact all med resorts and canaries too or at least the ones weve been to, which is a great many) Real shame you had such a poor experience. Its maybe not what it once was, maybe after all these years we have rose tinted specs about the place, but it is a lovely part of the world imho and we enjoyed all our visits greatly. Thanks for the films btw, may not share your view but enjoy watching regardless 👍

EV owners should be banned from returning to the U.K. in my opinion.

Hard act to follow after Australia liked all vlogs keep up great work cheers

I've never been to Paphos but I have to say fig tree bay at Protaras is a beautiful beach, and places like Famagusta are well worth finding out about, visiting the ghost town etc. MYne you should check those places out as a comparison 😀

Not cheap in Cyprus is it! Many of the "Tea for Two" menu prices are more expensive that the cafés in my Essex locality.

Love Paphos, was in Coral Bay in February and have booked to go back in June, weather in February was sunny and in the 20’s every day! June will be in the 30’s. We always hire a car and travel around. All the works around the harbour are due to Paphos being the 2023 European Capital of Smart Tourism. Cypriots have a saying, Avrio, which means eventually, and the harbour will be finished avrio. Don’t forget Paphos is a world heritage site and when they dig they find things. Keep up the good work though.

Paphos is in such a state because the Russian money left

Informative video Lee, didn't look the best there. Building work for nearly 3 years. 😮

Why is it you always go for English breakfasts? English food when your abroad. Try local breakfasts ?

He said the major works were last year renovating the old part and they move on quickly. Holiday destinations usually do all the upgrades during out if season times as to not cause too much disturbance to everyone. Just a thought to consider

Honestly i like to eat in peace. I wouldve told that woman to go away, meanwhile your foods going cold and shes ignoring your hints.

Nothing worse than someone hovering around when you are trying to eat,

What colour eggs are you used to? Are the eggs in England grey and overcast?

Nice lady - but let him eat his breakfast, it needs 100% focus!

Hi Lee, the breakfast was on par to most decent seaside uk locations, looked good... BUT come to Exmouth in Devon, UK. and try a dockside café breakfast with an award winning Krispies fish and chip meal in the evening. Exmouth is a very traditional seaside town, come and see it for yourself, cheers 🍺👍😎

Thank you so much The Cyprus Coastline is over developed for tourism . I live in Australia and I always visit Jervis Bay and they have really scenic beaches with very white sand which belongs in the area . The beaches in Ayia Napa has imported sand . Originally the beaches has grey volcanic sand . People couldn’t understand why I felt that Cyprus beaches are far too commercial . When I was there the locals didn’t like me because I was born in England but live in Australia . My nationality is Greek Cypriot . I sadly did not fit in with the Cypriot people . They gave me and my husband a hard time .

Thank you for your video, you are a lovely guy, just trying to help people, and you have helped loads of people, there are quite a lot of unhappy people in this world who like to inflict their unhappiness on to other people who seem happy, just keep doing what you are doing and don’t forget to visit scrumptious tea rooms in Urmston 👍x

Single handedly killed tourism in Cyprus 😂. To be fair what he has shown looks a dump, not like what it was when I went out 25 yrs ago at 18.

I just can't understand why you didn't show your hotel, you normally show the room and how did you do the talk tv interview which said it was live so you must have left Cyprus days ago?

Can never understand why people travel to another country and only want to eat food from their own country then complain when it isnt good. I travel to many countries around the world and where ever I go I eat the local food and enjoy emersing myself in at least some of their cultures. I also try to avoid other British l and areas made for British like the plague. I want to speak with locals and experience their country.

21 Euros for fish n chips did it for me.I get fish n chips in the Marqee bar in Pattaya for 120 bht that equals,£2.66.

Cyprus in early summer is wonderful. It's blooming' WINTER man, and As you can see there's nobody but you there! Tenerife has an all year round acceptable climate, hence it's busy(and more expensive) in Winter! P.s. Short memory regarding the building work...I remember when Tenerife was a huge building site complete with numerous huge cranes. Sorry Lee, but you've done yourself no favours with this visit! 🙁

Lee, the reason you see half finished buildings around Cyprus is because as soon as they finish them they have to start paying taxes. The Helios Bay hotel is a nice place to stay on the main road to Coral Bay with good restaurants nearby. We never stayed in Paphos, just visited during the day and evening.

Thank you for the PSA on this rather unsavory place. PJ O'Rourke would be proud of you.

Me and Mr HoneyB had our honeymooning Paphos in the 90s and it was shit. Went in April, and weather was crap then too.

Cyprus is beautiful. Yes tea for two is fantastic for eats any time & great value. Very friendly. Love it. We lived in Cyprus up in katikas up in the mountains .was sorry we had to return home. Miss Cyprus but,in the summer months was just to hot. Lots of places to go & see & not expensive.

It’s what you want out of a holiday. We love Cyprus, yes it was abit of a building site but there’s so much more than bars. We went on a jeep safari, boat trip blue lagoon. Adonis baths is beautiful. The zoo is good. We did all of this in November. Oh and we bought a cat home. As far as English food we personally would rather have local food on holiday. But great vlogs, enjoying them

Went to Cyprus in 1997. It was so cheap, pre Euro. It was just lovely and the people very friendly and welcoming. Went back in 2010. Wow, what a change and not for the better. Developments going on everywhere, lots of ex-pats drinking in British pubs showing Sky Sports. There was rubbish everywhere, even in the countryside including heaps of discarded building materials and broken down machinery. Our hotel was rubbish, the people were miserable and very aloof. They just seemed peed and ripped you off. Also, horrendously expensive for everything. The only thing going for it is the weather and the cats!

Lovely breakfast Lee ,👍should have got the lemon meringue to take away.

I admire you Lee for sharing your honest opinion if it offends other people so be it, it looks like a building monstrosity and your vlogs have put me off going, thank goodness for your channel my friend.

We were in Protaras last year and it was great so we were about to book another trip to Cyprus this year but in Paphos. I'm so pleased I saw this video. If I took my family there we would have been extremely disappointed. Thanks for the heads up Lee. x

I hope it is different in season I’m coming out in august ! At least the sun will be shining and shining and boiling

Coral bay outside Paphos was fabulous..but that was about 25 yrs ago ..hope to still is😢

Let me think ,it was around 50 years ago I went to Paphos, it was just a little fishing harbour then with a small beach one hotel and a fish restaurant just near the harbour pier what a cracking meal we had . Last time I was in Cyprus left RAF Nicosia the day before the Turkey invaded.

Banned from entering a Porsche dealership 🤓

I was fortunate enough to visit Cyprus a couple of years ago during peak season I stayed in an average all inclusive hotel which surprisingly (for all inclusive) had really good food probably the best selection I have had in any country. I took a day trip to Pathos, place wasn't anything special. I did have a very enjoyable holiday but that was honestly more down to the hotel I stayed at was right up my street. Cyprus is ok and worth a visit if you get a good deal It's hot and not overly expensive. I'm going to Egypt in two days time's not been before not planning on doing much just want a weeks chilling away from the cold.

Typical British wanting a full English Breakfast. Why ? Local food is always better and the healthier option. Indulge yourself in the Culture and food when your abroad. You won't be disappointed.

The owner? of Tea for Two, the breakfast café, was very nice 😉

The amount of cameras you must go through when you walk off Lee!! Love your stuff keep it coming (how many will think I’m being serious)

That 'Couple',....Do they own an 'EV'????LOL!

I only been to Cyprus once, and would love to go back one day

Well Lee it appears you have upset a number of people on this visit so guess you won't be returning there any time soon . Glad you enjoyed the weather at least it's better than in the UK lol Cheers Keith x

You have not shown Cyprus as it is. You have shown a very small part of a town😡😡

Lee you are definitely not going to get a gig with Tourism Cypress, from what you showed I will steer clear of Paphos. Maybe your next trips should be to Yorkshire for Fish and Chips as this seemed to be the highlight of this saga 😆

Those deserts looked older than me and I’m 70

Looks like Cyprus has some financial issues otherwise it wouldn't look like a building site that has been left derelict for years. Shame because other than the beach it could be a nice place to settle down in when you get old.

I would bet that most of those places closed down after Cyprus lost all that lucrative Russian business back in 2019 and 2020, plus all the lockdown madness didn't help. I would not say that it is my kind of holiday destination.

Breakfast is when you break your fast, Lee - irrespective of time 👍😊

I enjoy everything you do mate some of the comments I've seen are just the moaning people you just keep doing what you do best bud. Onwards

I was going to book going to Cyprus but after watching your video I'm not sure I'll bother now. Thanks for the video its saved me a lot of money. 👍🏻

Im usually disappointed when these holiday series are over...Not this time though 😂 You owe us a quick turnaround after this one Lee...🤣🤣🤣
