Paphos Life

A journalist friend of mine once said to me when i questioned an article he wrote,,,,,never let the WHOLE facts spoil a good story.

Thanks for that,we love the area,we must have walked this route a zillion times.Suprising some homes are still occupied in " old " Theletra.And of course some of these old unocupied buildings have attracted the graffiti artists

Mmmmmm,i feel sorry for the people who own property there in Chlorika because surely it is not doing their property prices any good

Top of the boards agenda ( down at the pub of course ) the other day was the subject of napping in the afternoon.Even more so in this climate.The board seemed to be split fifty fifty on this subject on the benefits or disadvantage,s of slumbering in the afternoon. One side saying it spoilt your nigh...

Deary me.So lets say you are buying a property here and need to transfer a large amount to your Cyprus account? Now that would be a song and dance.Having lived here a long time it appears to me that most of the new laws and regulations that come to be,seem to deter people coming here and spending th...

Thanks so far for the info,keep it coming,certainly enough to keep us all busy ( down at the pub ).But like in all pubs there are many experts,and the more we neck them back the more expert we become.

Rather a heated conversation yesterday ( down at the pub of course ) on the advantages of becoming domicile in Cyprus.This is if you have been resident here for i think 17/18 years and paying your due taxes.The opinions of the regulars on this topic was split about 50/50 and as there was no elected ...

Honestly,with whats going on in the world today i think i am fortunate to live to an old age and experianced the good times.When i was a boy we had nowt and we where so much happier.Sorry thats my rant of the day

Trevnhil,i understand that " green waste "
should be put in a green bag and put at the side of the bins for collection.Which i do.Its easy and and convenient.But as you say not everyone does

We visit the North on occasions and ive heard it said there many times by both locals and ex pats that it was not an " invasion " it was an " intervention "

We,ve been to most of them for lunch,,,,,,,,,Typsy Turtle

Yes,we call there when we are visiting friends in the North.No complaints.Nice lunch.

Will do Ams,were on it.Or should i say the wife is.

Thanks for the links WHL/Dominic,you have now really wet the wifes appetite.There is now no going back.Mmmmm,i must check our bank balance

My wife ( the boss ) has got her heart set on an endless pool.You know,the type you swim against the flow of the water,set at the pace you want to swim.Has anyone any knowledge of this type of pool,the does and the donts,and are there any specialists on these in the Paphos area,Thanks in advance.

Yes,an outlying village not to far from Paphos would be a good choice a little cooler in summer.In fact we where thinking of moving ouside of Paphos into a village ouselves. Golden rules when buying in Cyprus.....It would be an advantage if the property had or could get access to title deeds .....Ch...

Yes,i thought you would agree with the wife

Of course uncle D,thats another senior ( octogenarian ) moment of mine They,re coming to frequent these days

Mmmm,if your reading this you probably have some Avios points,intending to use them in the future.I have been told ( down at the pub of course ) that they actually do expire
Thats if not used after three years.

Branches closing????? Money does,nt grow on trees.
