To get your IBAN number it should be on the details of your account when you log in on the web or on the phone / tablet app. Should also be visible on y...

Re: Neon Mall September Update

I appreciate it can be deceptive when building are still very much under construction, but when I think about the footprint of the Jumbo stores in Paphos and Limassol that I’ve hiked around, then look at the new structure compared to the existing SHC space, which is probably smaller than Jumbo, I d...

Re: Parking In Paphos

Is it right that you can only use the sms system if you have a Cyprus phone number? No, not based on the non resident tourists I’ve previously helped through the process. See a,is the guidance pasted below from Mr Google: In Paphos, you can use SMS to pay for parking through the Pafos Smart Parking...

Re: Caught at the traffic lights

At lights where cameras are, are you suppose to wait at the line where the camera symbol is, or the line where the signals are. When these pictures of camera markings were first painted in the road last year, the transport minister came out with a clarification that these were just there to make pe...

If it’s an Anker one, there is a global recall on specific models if their power bank range.

Re: Recommendation for a Spa Day

We use Minthis. A spa day is €100 euro which gives access to the spa pool, the hydrotherapy pool, the ‘experience’ showers, and the various sauna and steam rooms.

There are traffic lights there daily during the week. Presumably, they aren't doing a...
