Re: Kefalos Hotel Excavations

It does look like tombs as there don't seem to be any doorways or connecting corridors between them.

Re: Sklavenitis supermarket in Chlorakas

An excellent refurbishment. It looks so much bigger and brighter. Of course, there will be those who moan it no longer stocks this or that. There always will be.

Re: Residency Rights - Exchanging Yellow Strip for Biometric Card

When my wife returned to Cyprus a month or two ago, she showed her yellow slip (she was still awaiting her biometric card which had been approved) and was told her yellow slip had been cancelled. Unfortunately she wasn't carrying her payment receipt for the card, but after a lengthy discussion with ...

Chloraka Papantoniou

Actually It's in Lemba, but that is just me being pedantic. A friend who works there tells me that this Paps will close for refurbishment and branding change on 23rd of this month. They are saying it will be for 2 weeks. However, as the changes include brand new flooring throughout I suspect this ti...

Re: Fabrica Hill and the Roman Hotel

The hotel is in fact Roman 2. Roman 1 is over the road. Roman 2 is on short stilts, and the original roman excavations under the hotel can be accessed from the front under the building. It's very low, so mind your head.

Re: Muse Restaurant to Kennedy Square

The kiosk in the old cinema sells mainly Philippine foodstuffs, with some Sri Lankan items. Well worth a look around to see things you have never tried before. If you want big bags of rice it's the place to go.

Re: Taxinet Cyprus tax

The tax office is way way behind in processing returns. You will get a letter in 2 to 3 years time. Relax until then.

Re: Neon Mall September Update

Jumbo have recently announced they are to open two new stores in Cyprus. They don't say where, but they currently have seven. One in Paphos, two in Limasol, three in Nicosia (one of which is in the north), and one in Larnaka. My guess is that they will be in the north.

I think you are posting on the wrong forum. This one is to do with life in, and matters relating to, Paphos in Cyprus.

Re: Passing on Property Deeds to family

It could be an issue in relation to renewing residency if you are not an owner or renter. Very important to get good legal advice.

Re: Lottery Dream

They can refuse to pay out if they learn you live outside the UK or the countries that play the Euro lottery. However, assuming you get a payout, and given that currently Cypriot banks pay little or no interest, you would be better to transfer your millions to Turks & Caicos or Cayman Islands fo...

Re: Geroskipou Neapolis Is Coming!

I wondered what it was going to look like, so thanks.

There is a rumour, with no evidence I can find, that this area contained an airdrome when under British rule.

Yes, they will be coming. Unfortunately, they won't be coming to Paphos as the games will be played in Limassol.

I love the old town. More up-market than Coral Bay and TOTK. No karaoke which is an added bonus.

Re: Tala Square demolition plans.

It is indeed a shame, as it will spoil the square. However, I looked at the list of people who signed the petition so far and noticed an absence of Cypriot names. Whilst not a scientific analysis, it suggests the majority of people objecting are not Cypriots and therefore don't have votes in the nex...

Re: Bar open and Close

I don't know why the sports bar never really got going. However, I am reliably informed that, although the sports bar element has closed, the taverna element remains open as it has always been. A great location, great views and a relaxed feel. Give it a visit, or even an overnight stay. A little gem.
