Paphos Life

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...

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.

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.

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

A stalwart of the forum who will be greatly missed. Comdoence to the family.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

If you have them, premium bonds.
Insurance companies (house, travel, pets, etc.)
Any shares held.

He was a great contributor to both forums. A sad loss. Condolence to the family.

Perhaps the extended car park area will be the site of the new desalination plant.

I refuse to use them. I prefer human contact, and don't see why I should do someone out of a job. From my observations they are often problematic.

Yes, people do. It's not particularly difficult at nighttime if you know where to attempt it, even in central Nicosia where the green line is very narrow. Of course, if you get caught you will be in big trouble, so I don't recommend anybody trying.

Not bad for a couple of guys in their 80s. Wish I'd been there.
