Paphos Life

It worked fine for me. I was able to locate the 2 drugs which I have been prescribed , thanks to use of the search facility. Thanks Dominic for providing this. I wondered if the Govt provide a list of non prescription drugs and over the counter medications? This would also be useful, as these can be...

Hi, Something strange is happening to some of my posts. Several times I have posted something factual on different threads, checked to see that they had appeared on the thread in question. They had. Yet a few hours later when I looked at the forum again, its to find that they have disappeared! Is th...

According to newspaper reports it is very overcrowded.
There is talk of building a new prison facility or a seperate institution for young offenders. In order to keep them away from more hardened criminals.

Have just checked the Govt reservoir storage table, as of today the water level at the Asprokremnos Dam is given as 36.1% full. So still a long way to go to fill up. This time last year the same dam was 66% full.

I understood that it was an substantial EU grant of circa €66M which Paphos was awarded when it won the competition to be the European City of Culture which was against Nicosia and Limassol. It is this money which appears to be behind all the projects for improvements to the town and buildings in Pa...

Yes, but according to what is reported by the local paper the prison is grossly over crowded, and bullying and violent assault by and to some inmates are a problem. There have been a number of suicides among prisoners. Prisoners are crowded into cells, designed for 1 but used for 3 persons, so not a...

Hear, hear! Hopefully they will be dealt with severely by the court. They deserve it. A long stay in Nicosia Central, which is likely to be far less comfortable that a jail in the UK.

The situation has changed re TV mags! I was surprised to find 'What's on TV' in the mini market in Tala, yesterday morning,. It's the current issue for this week. So there must be more somewhere else. Perhaps in Paps when it reopens.

Paphos, now into being the European City of Culture 2017, is not ready! Lethargic working on the roads in and around the old town 'Ktima Paphos' started late, in March 2016. During the summer very little was done, it was too hot! More effort was applied from Sept- Oct onwards. But, now the winter ra...

To my surprise this morning, I found that the 'What's on TV' has arrived, along with the Cy Sunday Mail. Must have come in in the previous 24hrs since I went there! I got mine at the Mini Market in Tala.I wasn't expecting to see the first one and had been told that we wouldn't have a Sunday Mail thi...

Happy New Year, Dom, I love your blog! I have been reading about the Kouklia Sugar Mill, which I have previously visited. But I haven't found the link to where you found this information, not being very computer literate! Please can you give it in a form which I can just click on? Oh and please keep...

It remains to be seen once Article 50 to start the brexit for real, is triggered. How well will a comparitively small nation with ideas to make their brexit tailor made to suit them, actually get on? It must be tough trying to negotiate such a deal with 27 other countries, all with different ideas! ...

Yes, thanks.

Thanks for your posts. Tried one and it worked like a charm. Even got to listen to my local radio station!

Yes, no TV mags in Paphos. Maybe because UK flights were disrupted by fog in LHR/LGW. Now prob no one working at Larnaca due to hols. Expect delivery maybe Tues/ Wed next week. Hardly worth buying!

Dominic, Weatherunderground has a forecast for Paphos International Airport. That's the one which I use. It has all the weather information clearly displayed. It also does a 10 day forecast. My husband,an airline pilot also used it as a guide as the weather information was good and usually very accu...

Try weatherunderground .com. It does weather for many locations including Paphos. It is usually pretty accurate!
