Paphos Life

Sued51 My post was the situation regarding Paphos in1999 and for a few years after. Yes, now when the Immigration office is packed, people queue up on an internal staircase in a newer building. But having an appointment has improved the experience. From reports I hear the Immigration Depts in other ...

See what I said earlier about Immigration in Paphos! One can only guess what their mindset is. Nothing about the way they work has changed over the years of my residence here. Except that more recently it is possible to make an appointment. Hurrah. In the 'old days' there were no appointments. The f...

Woody 2, the reason for the RAF aircraft mission to the Red Sea last week, was in support of the USA forces strike on terrorist forces who have been attacking civilian ships in an International shipping lane which leads to the Suez Canal..

Woody2, perhaps you don't know what RAF Akrotiri does to support the Cyprus Govt when called upon? Air-sea rescues mainly in their part of the island, fire fighting particularly big fires in places like the Troodos where ground based services have difficulty reaching fires in inaccessible terrain.Us...

Ha,ha! No these are people who've lived in Cyprus for a longtime. I understand that Limassol Immigration are more reasonable so these petty problems which Paphos have don't arise. Lucky them.

If you want a definite answer ask Gwennie, NOT the man down the pub!
I have been told by Limassol friends that Immigration Paphos have a reputation for being pedantic!

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...

All Inclusive Travel

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...
