Paphos Life

Quite true Lloyd, For all the time that I have been here agents have been used by foreigners to help them with certain problems, usually involving various Govt depts. It is not illegal to use one to help sort things out for you. From experience, one realises that it makes sense to use one when faced...

Immigration Dept here have always been something of a law unto themselves! I can only tell all those who are complaining now that when we first arrived in Paphos in 1999 Immigration was in far worse small cramped offices on the first floor of another building in Paphos. We used to have to queue up o...

I wonder why EAC haven’t updated this page as the situation quoted regarding the power stations, the type of generators and the type of fuel oils used sound like the much quoted text of what was publicly quoted by the Cyprus Mail following the Mari explosion in 2011 and the rebuilding at Vasilikos.....

What a pity turning productive farmland into a mainly concrete covered tourist site. If the theme park proves popular it certainly seems likely to spoil both the peacefulness and the natural beauty of this area. Why won’t the planners realise that not all tourists who choose to take their holiday he...

Obviously the system works as it should in Amsterdam, but I wonder if the installation below was the same here as elsewhere and how efficiently these bins are maintained and emptied? If the smell from the below ground bins is as bad as the article said, no wonder the neighbours are complaining...

Hi Lloyd, Yes, I am also a patient with Dr Janet and I agree with everything that you said. It’s only that I now have difficulty getting to Nicosia these days. That was why I was trying to see the local gastroenterologist. I may have to try to find a way to get to Nicosia, once for a consultation, t...

I think that if you don’t have a current MEU1, maybe you need to get one first. If I was you with your doubts and maybe out of date MEU form, maybe a quick visit to Gwenny’s office might be your best bet. She will know definitively what forms you will need,

We went past there on a walk last week. If you start at the Debenhams roundabout, take the road to Gereskipou. Turn right at the first traffic lights there, drive down the hill past the new Pakora King restaurant,on your left. When you reach 7 St Georges Taverna on your left, turn left into the narr...

Lloyd, I wonder if we go to the same dentist? I have been to the same one for years and have had a lot of difficult dentistry in that time, crowns, extractions and also some dental implants. Compared with the costs of having such treatment done by a dentist in the UK, I am glad that I had it done he...

Well at least this project is apparently outside the Natura 2000 conservation area, though not far away.... I wonder how long it will be before there is a rash of ‘new and sustainable ‘ concrete development within that area? The name ‘Mythos’ seems to ring a bell. Does anyone remember the plan for s...

The plan that I saw belonged to a construction supervisor and it was before construction actually started. At that stage they were mapping out the actual route that the construction of the walkway would take. The plan was pretty accurate as it turns out. The walkway doesn’t actually touch the sides ...

I’ve been with the same dentist here for years. I am happy to continue paying for my dental treatment. No complaints as its much cheaper here than the equivalent treatment would be in the UK.

I’ve laced my flowerbed with chilli and garlic powder. It smells like an Indian takeaway..hope it repels the cats!! Time will tell..

Yes, basic spelling and punctuation creates a much better impression, even if that takes a minute or so longer! Anyway using spell checker makes correct spelling much easier,,
I blame over reliance on computer or tablet partly for the decline in written English.

I wonder if my dentist will join Gesy. Her dental practice is very successful and her appointment book is always chock a bloc... if Dentists are treated like doctors signed up to Gesy, I heard that they can’t see their private patients.

A pressure reduction valve might help as the water pressure is exceptionally high here. Hadn't thought of that. The only problem is that the Complex manager says that the houses need high water pressure because the house pipes are all silted up...probably mine is no exception. Is he right? Heh ho. Dee

Looks horrible! But unfortunately leaving litter behind of whatever type seems to be endemic with some people on this lovely island. So not a great surprise. Maybe whichever service of the local municipality should be asked to visit Evretou and do a clean up there? Not really suitable refuse for sch...

There isn’t much need for it, unless people want to try an aerial walk from the area near the mosque, around much of Fabrica Hill , with its archaeological features.then crossing over Agios Pavlos Ave and ending up on the big Roman archaeological site at the opposite end to the Paphos Castle and the...

Yes, some pedestrians are very careless when crossing the road. Jumping off the pavement regardless of what is coming. Crossing the road without even looking to see if a car is nearly on top of them.. It is even more dangerous after dark when some pedestrians who normally wear the ‘uniform’ black cl...

Tonight I have crisscrossed bamboo canes all around the new plants and am hoping for the best. Someone has told me that Home Market sell cat pellets which apparently, I’m told will put cats off going there! Has anyone heard of these and do they work? Thanks for all replies. Just trying to decide wha...
