Paphos Life

Thanks to Aargent and Mark. I had thought that perhaps there was an official exchange rate one had to use, but I guess you can just take an average from a reliable source.

Does anyone know the GBP/EUR rate that should be used for 2023, or where to find it?

Derek Johnson did an excellent tiling job for us. Also did many other things. Thoughtful, experienced and careful. No hesitation in recommending him. 99 956 731.

Good, silly fun. Clever script.

Thank you, Max.

Can anyone comment on the pros/cons of living in Tsada/Olympus Village, as opposed to Tala? Being more elevated than Tala, it will be colder during the winter. But it also seems quieter and less developed, which are positives. Also wondering how the new Paphos/Polis Road will affect the noise level ...

A retailer of roller blinds might be able to recommend a cleaning service. Euroblinds might know. Roller blinds in rentals are sometimes thick with dust.

If only life was that simple.. If you are going to be getting a UK goverment pension (say as an ex teacher or police) you might want to get some advice as to how you will be taxed in the future in the UK even if you are resident only in Cyprus.. Yes, ex-government employees are in a different posit...

If you are tax resident here, your pension can be taxed at only 5%. If there is a double taxation agreement between Cyprus and Germany, then Germany should not tax you, as long as Germany agrees you are not tax resident there. That is how it works with the UK. Thanks to souniman for the earlier rep...

Other countries ask you to report your taxable income annually. However, in Cyprus, dividends/interest income must be reported immediately on receipt and GESY tax paid, otherwise you are charged a penalty if you wait till the tax return is officially due. That at least is my understanding. My questi...

A big thank you to those who recommended Marios’s Photo Studio on ToTK Road for printing photos. He did a great job for us.

Does anyone know a website where property owners can post details and photos of their property for sale? As opposed to going through an estate agent?

My partner had a colonoscopy with her, and she was very good. We are not on GESY and paid privately.

Thank you.

Old fashioned, I know, but can anyone recommend a place that will print photographs in a range of sizes?

We have a bioethanol fire and love it. We bought it from Volcano in Nicosia, who also supplied the fuel at the same time. They deliver fuel on demand to customers island-wide. We’ve not had to request more fuel and so don’t know the delivery charge, but from other experiences it seems that delivery ...

Thank you for that info, mark4007.

You might try Ecotech WiFi as well. They worked for us until Cyta fibre optic became available and we switched.
