Paphos Life

I can’t see the point of this latest revamp, except that there must still be money left over in the Municipal kitty! It seems nonsensical to reduce the number of parking spaces in this area. As people have already been inconvenienced for months while the actual roadworks were being carried out, peop...

Not much to feel excited about! I dread the thought of my next electricity bill!

True. When my sisters and I were children, my mother took each one of us to have all the 'jabs', polio, smallpox, and the others, scarlet fever, diphtheria etc. I find it hard to understand why these days some people refuse jabs for Covid etc. If you protect yourself from disease that's one less per...

I had both jabs at the same time last October. One in each arm and had very little reaction, but have spoken to other people since. I was surprised that although some have had them, a number think they aren't necessary... time will tell.

Well, Crown Resort as it formerly was, looked really shabby by the end. It was badly in need of refurbishment and the renewal of its pools and the Spa. As presumably, the spa, indoor pool and gym will all continue to be situated in the hotel's basement. I really hope that the drainage and sanitary f...

At the moment I don't know anyone who's asked this question, jeba. But certainly around Paphos and the villages nearby where a number of British expats live, the village cemeteries are full and new sites for cemeteries have had to be found. As this is an island, with limited suitable land, perhaps l...

We had a sharp, heavy shower in Chloraka, but by 9.15am the skies cleared.The rest of the day till now 15.45, has been dry and sunny. But noticeably cooler, and the breeze is cold!

Many thanks for that info, Memory Man.

For the benefit of those who don't' have a computer or don't do on line banking, is there an alternative way to pay?

I think main objections come from the Greek Orthodox Church. But under EU dictats every EU country needs to have a Crematorium. Greece has one.

From what I've read in todays 'Telegraph newspaper the Palestinians of a certain London Borough don't seem too concerned about offending indigenous Brits.

Yes, I agree. Triotech is simple to operate and provides UK TV channels and many others all pre- set.

Try the Evangelismos Hospital, in the round building.

Holidaymaker, Are you a resident of the UK? I have come across some people there.who have strange ideas re wearing masks. In the UK there was an aversion to the word mask. The term there was 'face covering' Face coverings were flimsy fabric items useless as a mask. Introduced because the UK was woef...

True, a while ago I had a friend with a good off road vehicle. He had done a lot of driving on old roads with the 4x4 Off Road Driving Group and knew the old white roads well in the Paphos area. We were all amazed by the number of them, probably once in use to the number of remote old stone villages...

I was expecting that something was about to be done to try to reduce the spread of Covid. But I think it would also be sensible to wear a mask when in a Pharmacy or a Supermarket as well.

I always go to a garage such as Costas who provide the replacement battery and dispose of-the old one. Job done!

Maybe it was a slow news day... just a mention of an earthquake near Cyprus will get readers attention!

Yes, I''ve walked part of the old road that you mentioned, and also as a passenger in a 4 wheel drive, we were told that it was originally a Roman road, it still runs between Aphrodite Hills and Alektora. In one place there was still the remains of Roman stone road paving. At that time some of the R...

Its all supposition, as Max says no one knows. Probably the first settlers living in the Paphos area left traces of their presence by digging wells in the Lemba and Kissonerga area, 6000 years BC.These wells of which 3 were excavated by Archaeologists, showed evidence of having been dug with primiti...
