Re: Picking up at Paphos Airport

You still cannot drive directly in front of the terminal building, but can go into the car park (p2) as before and i believe its £1 Euro for up to 20 mins. 8-) It's free if you're just dropping off / picking up, you don't even need to go to the ticket machine, you collect a ticket on the way in but...

Re: Excitement at Troodos peak?

It's nice to see even a bit of snow once a winter, well for me anyway. It makes a nice change. When we had the good layer of snow it would have been too busy up there. On a good snow year you can wait till the novelty has worn off a bit, but the last 2 years have been too warm for that. A little sno...

Great stories Devil, I look forward to the next instalment.

I liked the extra Malta element (well, except for it being a negative experience) since I'm Maltese :)

I never tested this myself but as she loved the Island so much I am sure there was a little bit of embellishment at times ?? It's quite possible to do both in a day, I've never done it because I don't like rushing so much on my precious weekends and once I've driven up to Troodos I like to enjoy my...

Re: Today's weather: Stormy, orange warning in place

Seriously? In Anarita earlier and now here in town it's very grey and cloudy (Tsada is hidden behind clouds) and windy. I could feel the wind pushing my car as I drove across the motorway bridge.

While I love our sunny and often warm winter days, it's nice to have a bit of winter for a change.

Re: Mandria Murals

I enjoy driving through it, it's so nice and colourful. You get a glimpse of the colour too as drive across the bridge on the motorway. The fountain used to be at the entrance to the square, but I believe was removed when the square was revamped a couple of years ago. It's still on the village logo ...

Re: Ermes bonus card - bin?

Sadly it’s bin. Now they just need your phone number to accumulate points. Unless anyone knows anything different…… This is how I understand it, and always give them my phone number when I buy something. When I bought something there the other week, the cashier told me how many points/euros I had o...

Re: Clocks turn back an hour on Sunday

I too really want to keep summertime all year round - but worry that they'll opt to stick to winter time all year because of schools starting so early. I work near a school and can see plenty of students walking home afterwards - it's in town so there are loads of houses close by. I presume some wil...

Where did you get your dashcams from? Is there somewhere in Paphos that both sells and installs them?

Re: Collecting water from your A/C...

Unfortunately my a/c water outlets are close to the ground, but I can get a 5l watering can under one of them and a cat litter tray under another, and use the water for my plants.

As you said, it's amazing how much water you can collect on humid days.
