Paphos Life

Thinking of having a tiled car port installed. It would be attached to our house on one side, the other three sides would be open. Does anyone know if planning permission would be needed? And who from?

Hi

Went for a walk yesterday down Spryou Kyprianou, Peyia and noticed that the Reservoir was completely empty. Where has the water gone? Has the water all been consumed or has it been emptied for maintenance?

I have probably been watching too many movies, war or otherwise where people get to another country via unofficial crossings. They seem to go via farm tracks, mountain passes, etc. Just wondering if this happens between North & South Cyprus? Is it possible to get over the green line?

I would guess that our house is about 20 years old. Probably still got the original solar panels. A guy said that they are starting to go but would get a few more years out of them. Question: I'm told new panels are much more effecient and would produce lots of really hot water. Has anyone replaced ...

We are confused - do we need to have medical cards? We have MUKW3 and are in Gesy

We have recently received our MUKW3 cards. No problems at all at Paphos Immigration. We supplied copies of MEU1, Title Deed, one electric bill, passport copy, marriage certificate and that was it.

Can someone please explain in simple terms what steps to take in order to sign up to GESY. We asked at the GP surgery but can't say they were very helpful, we were was told that we need to get a white medical card first - but where do we get these from? Are they correct? We have MEU1, awaiting for t...

We are looking for Size 00 and also Size 2 Short Mat Bowls. Anyone want to sell ?

Our house is increasingly suffering from Traffic noise. Is it worth replacing the double glazed patio doors with triple glazing and if so would it be effective? Any other suggestions to reduce the intrusive noise would be welcomed. At times it's even difficult to hear the TV.

We are considering installing a wood burner in our house. Before we make a decision one of things that's worrying us (apart from the cost!) is where do we get the logs from. Are they readily available and what cost are they likely to be? Any suggestions of suppliers would be appreciated. Anyone with...

We are considering adding a single storey extension which would be used as a further bedroom on our property in Peyia. Does anyone know if we need to get approval for this and from whom and what the procedure is.

Thanks

Hi, we have got our grandchildren coming over. They are aged 3 and 5. A lot of the time they will be at the beach or pool but wondering if there are any playgrounds or children's attractions we could also take them to. Also any suitable eating places, they can't sit still for too long! Thanks

Just wondering if the helicopters over Peyia are Israeli on military exercise? Also saw a military vehicle going through Peyia with the Star of David on its side which seems to suggest it is also Israeli.

In my opinion the website is worse than the existing one. Goodness knows how much they spent developing the new web site.

Brilliant photographs Max. We always enjoy them, especially your lunch photos.

Brilliant photos, always look forward to seeing them. Keep going!

Whats happened to Marmite. Can't find any in Philippos or Paps/Chloraka or Lidyl. Any suggestions where we can find some?

Just wondering if the flu jab in Cyprus the same as in the UK or is it a different formulation?

Could anyone advise where the best place is to have a Corticosteriod Knee Injection to relieve pain? Sorry I'm a bit ignorant on these type of things but is it best to go to a GP or a Hospital. I'm not in Gesy. I would be grateful for any recommendations.

Just been reading in the paper today that Easyjet's losses for the first nine months of it's financial year were over £1billion and that they burning through cash at a rate of £34million per week. Horrendous. Interestingly they apparently only operated 17% of flights in June 2021 compared to the pre...
