Paphos Life

My present printer is kaput and I am looking for a wireless replacement which will work with my iPad. Please can someone with Techie experience help by suggesting which shops in Paphos are worth a visit. I need a replacement as soon as possible. Many thanks for help or suggestions to source a replac...

Well done, Clive! Seems incredible that measurements of these big buses turning radius weren't taken into consideration when planning it. So did the man-in the pub know what authorities plan to do about that?
Alternatively, use could be made of it as a scooter riders training area...

The puzzling thing about the new bus station on ToTK Rd,is that it appears to be more or less finished, but deserted. Though as I prophesied earlier it seems popular as a car park. It seems as if bus drivers are contented to bunch up together at the back of the big car park close to the Leptos Headq...

Time will tell! Hope the work will be finished on time, but experience shows that big projects seldom are...

Lucky you! We need some of this rain-in the Paphos area too! Especially in the Anarita area where the Asprokremnos Reservoir is only half full...

There has been quite a lot of publicity about the Akamas which the Govt are keen to turn into a National Country Park. Construction of a lot of concrete roads which will encompass most of this area started then stopped due to claims that these new roads were too wide and not according to plan. It ma...

Agree, M&S have a very strict stock control within each branch. In the past it seemed easier to change an item, I guess its probably down to having a computerised stock control system where each item must be accounted for. When I was in the UK, I was unable to change a sweater bought in one bran...

A-nice place to go for a meal or a drink in summer.But is usually closed in winter as-its position is quite exposed.

Seems fair enough, but I tried to learn the language and got floored by the grammar this requires. Now I have a MUKW3 which is a BioMetric Card. I am wondering if this will be more useful than the old MEU3 was if traveling elsewhere in Europe?

Hi daveg, Thanks for your reply.Are you talking about actually sending a parcel abroad while in Cyprus? If there is a different form for those of us sending a gift to a friend or relative abroad from CY where do you find it? The post mistress in my local PO only knew about the complicated 4page form...

Obvious advantages to an Aluminum fence, no maintenance required. Anything wooden left outside needs reg maintenance and repainting with a wood preservative.

I've also had very good service from both EAC and Cyta.I've also been told on occasion by CYTA if my router needs replacing.i go to their office to get it which also avoids waiting. Guess it depends where you live. The only company I had poor service from was believe it or not, G.Air. They sent a te...

Letter post isn't the same problem. That tends to languish in sacks either at Larnaca Airport waiting for collection to Limassol, then Paphos. It's parcels even jiffybag which are small ones. There seems to be an obsession to force people to fill in a lengthy form giving their business address, VAT ...

I'm wondering if it is possible to complain about difficulty in either sending or non delivery of a parcel sent from abroad? I had extreme difficulty sending a small Christmas present to my sister in Australia. The post mistress told me I must complete an on line form. On the PO tablet, I downloaded...

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!
