true. I guess I would say 3 but I’m not sure why I asked even. It just seems like this thread sided


Doesn’t look like it’s being visited recently by the members

You won't find anything in Cyprus that you can't find in Tel Aviv, Natanya or Eilat.
Israel is a more modern country, has more things to do and see and has MUCH nicer beaches plus you have separate beaches in Israel. 

That being said, Cyprus may be cheaper and you get to feel that you went to chul on vacation.

Please do tell!!!
Have you ever been to the Tel Aviv/Herzaliya beaches with great sand that gets smoothed over every night, free showers that are great, free WIFI! at the beach and even an elevator to take you down from the street level to the beach level. I don't think you can compare to Cyprus with it's hard pebble beaches with no shade, supper packed, showers that cost money and water that is meh.

This sounds like public beach your comparing. What about hotel to hotel beach.

Tel Aviv doesn’t have private beach’s

Never stayed at a hotel with a beach in Cyprus

They may technically be sand but very dirty sand full of pebbles. I would take a Tel Aviv beach any day.
