Re: travel insurance for 90 days

I am with ATLANTIC insurance company in Pathos.When not in Cyprus they allow you to suspend your insurance for the time not used. We live in the UK
This also allows them to give a rebate for unused time. Have been with them for last 15 years. Also We are aged as well.

Re: Paphos airport pick up

Why not wait as others do in the picnic area on the airport road. When you get a phone call to say your family or friends have arrived, then tell them to wait by the Costa coffee shop, drive in pick them up then off you go. No charge simples!

Re: It's a Jumbo Christmas!

Nice video but why the rush to get around the whole shop when a nice slower walk would have been appreciated. It would have been nicer to concentrate on the Christmas decorations area and not the whole shop. However well done.

Shot themselves in the foot

Have the EU shot themselves in the foot over the AstraZeneca vaccine by banning it temporarily because it is linked to the UK. Could it just be sour grapes over Brexit?.

Re: Cyprus suspends AstraZeneca Vaccinations

If you look at the Pfizer vaccine figures you will see almost identical numbers of people with blood clots as those who have had Astrazeneca here in the UK. Then compare the figures to normal times and you will see there have always been people with blood clots who have other symptoms as well. If yo...
