Re: MUKW3

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.

Triple Glazing

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.

Woodburners

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...

House Extension

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

Childrens Facilities

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

Helicopters over Peyia

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.

Corticosteriod Knee Injections

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.

Easyjet Finances

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...

Re: Furnace Creek

We went there about 10 years ago and remember it well. Boy was it hot. We were enroute from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in July in a Hertz hire car which was large and new. There were road signs - switch off your car air conditioning - I can understand why as the temperature gauge on the car kept going...

Re: Ryanair, Paphos to Liverpool flight 4th July,

We arrived back in Cyprus late Wednesday evening on Ryanair from Stansted. Flight was 80% full. Ryanair are operating daily from Stansted and just verified this on Flight Radar 24. Flight arrived early. Mind you it was a bit jolly on the flight - said they had run out of food - only alcohol available!

Drinking out in the UK can be quite expensive.
