Re: Mayor of Paphos locks horns with Unesco over new Paphos jetty

Attracting cruise ships is a great idea, jobs, money coming into the economy etc etc, but as there is a cruise terminal, already at Limassol, only half an hour away, I cant see this ever happening in Paphos.

Easier for them .. personally i will only eat real chips.

A similar fine will be imposed if owners allow their do...

Re: Resturant Rip offs

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't 12% automatically added on the menu as service charge ? And then when you are served the bill you are been asked to add extra ?? I ask the waiter / waitress if they get the tip or it goes to management. If to management I decline putting it on the bill and leave t...

Re: Resturant Rip offs

The problem is they are not, bothered if you return or not, they know there's another batch of tourists coming by to be ripped off, The first thing we always do is find out where the locals eat, we were in Rome recently, so we asked where the locals eat out, we were sent to the old Jewish quarter, g...

Re: Ikea opening in Limassol?

Does anyone know if this is the system, going to Nicosia to order goods and then collecting them from Limassol?? Can goods not be ordered in Limassol from the catalogue and then collected there at a later date??? I think there will be some sort of showroom, where you can order stuff then pick it up.

Re: Can things get worse?

Tony Blair was interviewed on LBC yesterday and actually said something sensible, that a second vote should be for No-Deal Brexit or for Remain. Whatever was voted for should now pass. He quoted NI and RoI referendums, where 2 referenda (referendii?) were held for the outcome, now that people knew ...
