On top of the list is the letting agency that you use so make sure it comes with a recommendation or that it is of reputable standing. Never pay any money out until their complete contact details have been confirmed and not only a mobile telephone number. Always use a web site that has a list of satisfied customers and try and contact some of them. Also have a look one of the social bookmarking sites such as stumbleupon where people leave genuine comments regarding site content or services offered. Always pay via PayPal for on line payments so if you haven't signed up yet, head over to their home page.
Another way to check on the letting agency is just putting their name into the Google search box and then check out the links that come up with their name in them. When it comes to paying, in order to get an over all picture of the price range you should compare the quoted prices on internet with others from a traditional high street travel agent. Take care with the amount paid on internet as they may be quoted in Euro, so check out current exchange rates through on line exchange converters such as xe.com.
When arriving always make sure that you have got the arrival instructions with you as you may need to take a taxi to your point of destination. If you would like to have a look at the area of your villa then try having a go with Google Earth which is really easy to handle and you get some great views of what's to come.
If you have already booked and have read these steps resulting in better offers, well it may not be too late to change your reservation. I can only recommend that you have a look at some of the articles found on the links below and whichever one you should choose I just hope you really have a great time in Cyprus.
