Paphos Life

That is very considerate of you Al. I am sorry you haven't been able to give up. I know it is difficult.

We went there last visit, maybe December ore earlier, and we were disappointed. The view was lovely and the food was fine. Unfortunately it was impossible to escape the music from the large speakers and we were unable to chat with our friends. Also, if you are a non smoker, we couldn't get away from...

If you are in the UK try contacting the Mauritian High Commission in London. (No embassy as it is a commonwealth country).

Pete and Sylvia. The high costs kick in when you are over 75 and want annual insurance for up to 90 days a time. Both just had birthdays. I can appreciate that this is a big risk on "ordinary" holidays but when someone is going to their own home (no cancellation cost) to an EU country (mus...

Thank you all. I will post my findings later, Pat

Thank you Roger. I will call them on Monday, Pat

Thank you. I will try Allianz this week. Darrow, the old lady on the cruise will probably be fine if she dies😁 Otherwise she may get repatriated then whoever incurred the cost will be after her for their money! And she will have wished she had died!!! I have had the house in Paphos for 30 years and ...

Thank you Kevin. I have been trawling my way through some of the suggestions but basically they seem to offer the same. Once you get over 75 it is almost impossible to get annual insurance for more than 31 days at a time. We do have insurance, with LV, but as the renewal premium has gone up to £425 ...

Thank you Bigfathen. I will try a few brokers but I was hoping to cut out the middleman ☺ and keep the cost down. I was hoping that there were lots of other people in the same situation who could advise. We can't be the only 70 year olds who come out twice a year for 2 to 3 months, Pat

Thank you Mark. I have used Insure and Go in the past but the problem with the cheap companies is they are only good for run of the mill, low risk customers. They don't want to know once you get older and want more than a bog standard 2 week holiday, Pat

There is no charge at the General hospital if you are pensioner and have your EHIC card. My husband was in there for 3 nights in December and apart from a few Euros for blood tests and admittance to A & E there was no charge. At 77 and 70 this year's premium is now over £400. It is a good policy...

Thank you Dee. We already have a "very expensive" travel insurance policy including repatriation but, while looking at the renewal cost, it occurred to me that we don't need a lot of the stuff that is included but was wondering if there was a policy out there that would cover repatriation ...

We come to our house in Paphos twice a year for a less than 90 days each visit. Because of our ages and medical history the premium for the insurance is becoming very pricey. We have just had the renewal arrive and I realised that we are paying an awful lot for cover of things we don't need. We don'...

Watched the first episode and about 10 minutes of the second before turning off. I found it implausible.

Thank you for setting up this website so quickly. I like that it is the do format as well. Pat
