Paphos Life

We were due to be upgraded from 10mbs to 20mbs under the upgrade scheme. But we have not been upgraded - so we contacted CYTA who got their engineers to check our line. However after repeatedly chasing them we have been informed that our line will not support the higher speed as we live in Ineia vil...

Hi Glowred - You mentioned being charged 3.90 for a small beer in Argaka. Don't know if it was the same place we stopped at last week but as it was lunchtime we asked for 2 cans of soft drinks - only to be told we only sell it from the post - so we both had a large soft drink ( don't know exactly ho...

Trev & Bromerzz Thanks for the comments about the maximum charge per annum - however as I understand it I have been charged an optional supplement on some medications (i.e where you as the patient opts for the branded drug instead of the generic drug). and this charge is not included in the capped a...

We went to see our nominated GP this morning to get my repeat prescription for items which I have regularly picked up from the General. The GP was unable to prescribe my Diabetic Test Strips and Lancets - as they are not on the GESY medication List. Next went to the Pharmacy only to find that the 10...

Hi - A previous post by Mr Blobby on 10th April answers your question: "Gesy re S1 holders Post by Mrblobby » Wed Apr 10, 2019 10:03 am We have just had this reply . We would like to inform you that since you are an S1 holder you will not have to contribute to the General Healthcare System. Thank y...

Very little chance of success unless they change their enforcement regime (or lack of). I know several smaller villages where the local council currently does not collect any dog licence fees - for fear of upsetting the locals most of whom own dogs.

Can anyone offer any suggestions I normally see Dr Demetra Nikiforou who normally comes once a week from Limassol - Unfortunately she has been off sick since October and nobody can tell me when she is due back. As I need my medication reviewed - I saw a GP at Polis Hospital and asked if she could he...

Thank you MacManiac for the information

Hello Seeking advice please - we are shortly moving house and will be living near Polis. My wife and I currently use Paphos General Hospital for all our medical requirements - along with seeing a GP for everyday issues and prescription renewals between us we also see the following specialists / spec...

Sorry Dominic
Did not read the blurb at the top of the section - slapped wrist !!.
Quite happy for you to remove the post - as I cannot see a way of doing it

Thanks Aquila for the advice - as I am not that up to date with modern technology I do not do Twitter. However I got my son in the UK to contact them. The outcome is that they could not dispatch to us in Cyprus as our address did not come up on their database - consequently our order has been cancel...

Hi Flossie
Thanks for the comment. I have tried their website and also Google - whilst I can find names of senior executives of Go Outdoor I have been unable to track down their email addresses

I recently placed an order via Go Outdoors website for delivery to our address in Cyprus. About 3 days later received an email saying that their warehouse could not generate a delivery label as it would appear that our address was not on their database - they asked if I could clarify if the address ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Looks like we will have to bite the bullet and go to one of the private medical centres.
Would have liked to think that there was a back-up in the event of sickness or holiday at the General - but hey-ho - we are the ones that live in Cyprus out of choice.

Flossie - Thanks for the suggestion unfortunately Dr Thelma at the hospital will only accept an eye test from the hospital's eye department.

Any suggestions please. My wife's Cypriot driving licence is due for renewal and due to her age needs to produce a medical certificate. We know this is normally available from Paphos General Hospital ( Have eye check by Eye Doctor first and then upstairs for Dr Thelma to sign the form). Unfortunatel...

Well done Dominic - pleased to see that the changeover was successful !!

I tried to register with Taxisnet for online Tax return submission but was unable to complete the online form as I did not have a 12 digit reference number. Although I have previously completed Tax Returns I have never had a Notice of Assessment (presumably because my income from pensions is below t...
