Paphos Life

Anyone whilst in cyprus can play the opap games, doesn't matter if you live here or not providing they are 18 years old. Years ago i won 2500e on protto, i didnt pay any tax From the opap site, 5. WINNINGS TAXATION Upon payment of winnings to the beneficiary, 20% of the amount of winnings exceeding...

On the same subject, but on a tangent... Does anyone know the Cyprus Opap rules, for Joker etc? How much Cyprus tax would you pay on a large win (well, I can dream, can't I?)? Can non-residents play Joker? Eg, my family have bought tickets when visiting when there's a large prize. If their ticket wo...

That is an interesting article, thanks Max. I never knew Kleftiko was considered a supper meal.

It's all so devastating and heart breaking. It's such a lovely part of Cyprus, I love driving up there and exploring the villages and countryside and hidden gems. And it's outstanding what a large area it covered, how much was lost. I'm dreading the next time I drive up there, though of course that ...

This is sad news. As a long-time forum member, CL before PL, I'm sure I read hundreds of his posts over the years. I missed them when he stopped posting here.

Condolences to his family.

What a lovely post, it's been a couple of years since I drove through the village so I'll have to go back soon. I first came across the waterfall by accident years ago, it was a lovely surprise. Hopefully we'll have enough rain next winter for it to flow again.

That is worrying, poor foxes and other wildlife. I am envious though that you got to see one up close and get a photo. The few times I have seen a fox they've just been quickly running across the road. Just for you, Ams, the next day the male fox appeared at my garden and I got him just after it wa...

I walked to Foinikas from the water treatment building a few weeks ago. An enjoyable walk if you don't mind the uphill on the way back. It's not too steep though. The walk took me around 2 hours round trip but that's me taking it very easy, walking down a bit as well as up to Foinikas, and stopping ...

With eShop you have to fill in the customs declaration once the parcel arrives at their warehouse, even when it's an EU warehouse, and then you pay the VAT and customs charge (for UK parcels) when it arrives in Cyprus. So all seems above board. (I have nothing to do with the company, I've just found...

Here you go - https://www.eshopwedrop.com.cy/en They stopped the UK for a while but they do it again now. You do end up paying VAT twice (in the UK and on arrival here) but when I need something I can't get another way I just grin and bear it (and swear about Brexit). It takes 2-3 weeks to arrive he...

Thanks for the update Dominic and good to hear the cafe is now open. It would be a great location for a lunch break from work, when I occasionally treat myself to one.

So cute! Thanks Max

I'm quite enjoying it, the air is lovely and fresh and it makes a nice change after the mild January (and last few winters). It helps that it's not raining though, as it would be more miserable then (though yes, I know we desperately need rain). But yes, I like cold spells to be quite short lived, I...

I really liked the idea of having a compost bin, but mine never seemed to turn into compost so I stopped using it.

Any experts out there who can give me advice on how to make it work?

I believe that logging a repeat prescription request (I do mine by email) as a visit on Gesy is a Gesy requirement, not doctors being greedy. Something about a visit needing to be logged in order to create a prescription on Gesy. But I can't remember where I heard that, so I may be wrong. I also see...
