Paphos Life

Some people have many credits, others only a few. We are in the latter group and we are frugal with our electricity use. It seems that soon, despite our investment in solar panels, we will be paying the ‘dirty fuel fee’. Developments over the last year have made our investment seem foolish.

Remarkable that EAC is permitted to do this without any protest from government, the public or the press. Nothing in Cyprus Mail. Constant curtailment is bad enough. Wiping credits already accumulated is in clear contravention and is effectively theft. EAC cannot claim that they are doing it because...

Zolli has cleaned our carpets very well. He also cleans upholstery and glazing with his team. 96 509 582.

Can anyone recommend a very strong outdoor tile cleaner that would really lift and break up the dirt that adheres to porcelain and ceramic tiles? Even after scrubbing and sluicing, we find that the tiles are still coated in dirt when they dry. Need something powerful. Can ask at shop of course, but ...

Thanks. Complex area, and no 2 requirements will be exactly the same. Whatever EAC finally allow us to do, we think battery costs will need to drop significantly to make installation worth while. We have around 12 years to go on our 15-year net metering contract with EAC which (we assume) they will ...

Are we correct in thinking the Tesla battery you mentioned costs between USD 13,000 and 15,000? Or is it something else?

We were shut down yesterday (Saturday) for most of the day. We are in Tala.

Also EAC started to install so called smart meters to have a better control of their grid in order to avoid too high voltage and getting stable frequency. In response to a change in frequency, inverters are configured to change their power output to restore the standard frequency. Does this mean th...

Thanks to both.

A question for the experts: Even during a period of curtailment (when the EAC shuts down your solar harvesting for net metering), are you still able to use the energy your panels are producing during that time? In other words, is this a good time to use appliances, cook, iron, etc, because you can s...

I like cooking and sometimes to get it perfect some ingredients are missing. So I tried to prepare German type Sauerkraut (cabbage) as I got glasses with raw German Sauerkraut from a friend, but very important spices/herbs: Juniper berries and caraway I could not find anywhere in Paphos supermarket...

I have learned the following: Acetazolamide is the medication sold in Cyprus for altitude sickness. (Branded Diamox in some countries.) I will be travelling to Peru, moving to a high altitude by plane, with no chance to slowly acclimatise. I have decided to take acetazolamide as a preventative measu...

Apparently there is no way to know if you will be affected by altitude sickness, i.e. they cannot test you. But if you are affected, it can be severe and ruin your holiday. Will report back for the thread when I know more.

Has anyone found altitude sickness tablets in Cyprus? If so, what was the name and did you take them?

Interesting. I did not know of this alarm service. Do you use it?

Can anyone recommend a good sleep therapist in the Paphos area. My personal problem is that as soon as my head hits the pillow around 10.30 i,m out like a light.( so far so good ) but i wake up around 2am to 3,30am and can never go back to sleep. Its been suggested that at my old age you dont need ...

While walking in the Pomos area a few months ago, one of our group twisted her ankle. Two of us had to walk several km to our car and guide the ambulance back to our friend because they couldn’t follow a Google Maps PIN. They were driving a 4WD so that wasn’t the problem. The track was wide and easi...

Kim is excellent. I found her on this forum. We have a Chow Chow and take him to Kim every 2 months, brushing him ourselves in between visits. And yes, you must book ahead with Kim.
