Holiday Overview
Join us on the beautiful island of Cyprus for a relaxed bridge holiday with your hosts, James and Jane Tullett.
The luxurious 4-star superior Athena Royal Beach Hotel is a firm favourite with First for Bridge guests. Ideally located in beautiful gardens overlooking the ocean, a flat 30-minute coastal walk takes you right into Paphos harbour. As well as immersing yourself in our daily relaxed bridge sessions, we include five bowls sessions, interactive bridge seminars, and twice-weekly dancing lessons. You can also enjoy the excellent spa and wellness facilities the hotel has to offer, including indoor and outdoor pools, steam room, and sauna. We also include a visit to Limassol with its wonderful amphitheatre overlooking the sea.
If you can tear yourself away from all the activities on offer at the hotel, this delightful island has many places to explore. Head up to the Troodos Mountains for breathtaking scenery, culture, and an insight into the island’s heritage. View Aphrodite’s Rock or take a step back in time with a visit to the walled and divided capital of Nicosia. Paphos itself has much to offer as a cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site, hosting an amazing collection of Roman mosaics and the Tombs of the Kings.

The programme also includes interactive seminars where you'll play hands based on the topic, offering a great way to step up to the next level of bridge. No Masterpoints will be awarded.
