I just a did a quick search and found that airfare to Cyprus is about
twice that of anywhere in western Europe. That's about what I would
expect too. The cheapest flights from North America are generally
into London, Paris, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt. Sometimes Madrid and
Rome are reasonable too. Cyprus also adds a fair amount of travel
time. Don't get me wrong - Cyprus would be a cool destination and I
would love to travel there. It's also wonderful someone is will to
try to organize a location other than North America. However, I'm
willing to bet a Cyprus location will be such an inconvenient place to
get to that we'd keep a lot of people away.
