Picking the right spot

Cyprus is a big island, bigger than some might think. As peaceful and beautiful as it might be, it is important to know where to stay. Placing a family in the center of Ayia Napa might not be the best choice for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

With that said, Cyprus offers a great time for everyone seeking an easy and quick getaway. Located in the eastern Mediterranean sea, en rejse til Cypern is made simple, as the large island has two main airports where most European airlines operate scheduled flights on a daily basis. 

Travelling with Children
Firstly, when looking for hotels on Cyprus a safe option when travelling with children is checking out the kid’s clubs. These kinds of hotels typically include different forms of entertainment for children. This could include face painting, pools with waterslides and different social events.

As comfortable as the hotels might seem, exploring Cyprus should not be underestimated. If you are interested in history and archaeology, there are different archaeological parks and historical places to visit. Cyprus is a very historical place with a very fascinating story as it is situated where Europe, Asia and Africa meet.

A relaxing day at the beach may never be underestimated, there are plenty of stretches of sand to choose from, and the water is amazingly turquoise. 

Taking a stroll around the marina can also be very relaxing after an eventful day. There are plenty of shops and restaurants and if you time it right, you might even be there for a lovely sun set. And let’s not forget to grab an ice cream or two on the way. 

Ayia Napa: where the party starts and never ends
Ayia Napa is renowned for its extreme nightlife that attracts young party goers. With endless patry opportunities at night, varying from beach bars, sports bars, endless amounts of clubs and not to mention boat parties.

When wanting to relax during the day, there are also plenty of things to do. Water parks, quad biking, museums, boat trips and diving are only some of the few attractions that can be done whilst visiting. 

Ayia Napa has been compared to places like Ibiza and Mykonos and welcomes everyone. If you are travelling from outside the EU, be aware that the drinking age is 18 as in many other European countries. 

So if you are a bunch of friends looking for a place to party in Europe, Cyprus could potentially be the right pick for you.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
