Re: The New Paphos Bus Station

Caught the 645 from Polis to the new Karavella Station-which is now up and running- early days yet as not congested- maybe people are not yet aware of all the bus routes that are serviced from this location-site although all the bus stops on both sides of the building, have the bus numbers affixed t...

Re: The New Paphos Bus Station

The comment above about the 615 buses not going down to the harbour is interesting. Thousands of tourists must take the bus between Coral Bay and the harbour (and the other way). Do they really expect people to walk from the harbour to TotK road and back? Or catch 2 buses? What a backward step, if ...

Re: The New Paphos Bus Station

I'm reading these comments with interest as I live nearby. The station was almost ready to open and then everything stopped! The rumour that is circulating in the area is that a trial was done with a small number of buses only to find that the dimensions are wrong and buses can't safely pass each o...

Re: Travel Warning for Brits

a few years ago, I joined the queue at the main Larnaca Hellenic branch. Immediately in front of me, there was a couple where Monsieur was dressed in only a pair of short shorts, bright red beer belly hanging over them.

Re: Jumbo's refunds

There is a difference between returning something because it doesn’t fit and for a defective product. If the product is defective, the policy may be different. If the size is incorrect - it’s Ok with me for a store not to give a cash refund as it would be a buyer’s error. You will know now for next...
