Paphos Life

It makes me feel angry when I see someone young and apparently fit park in a disabled bay close to the front door of the supermarket. Usually a man, but it's useless to say anything to them, all you get is a glare and a mouthful. I wish that the man employed by Paphos Council to fine overstayers at ...

I tend to agree with Dominic. I remember reading something about the driving license a few months ago. I think that I read that visitors to Cyprus need to get an IDP if they want to drive on their English driving license while here. Alternatively, as you have an MEU 1, you could apply for a Cypriot ...

Yes, its obvious that the medical services and hospitals need to be protected. But, why were there suddenly so many more cases of covid , particularly in Limassol? Remember the unofficial Limassol carnival weekend of madness? Why didn't the police in Limassol work proactively to stop the mass gather...

What a mess, once again the Govt is trying to impose knee jerk reactions this time on tourists, probably in the vain hope that residents here won't notice... Apart from anything you can't send SMS to a land line which presumably the 22-285777 number given is. Just what is the logic in some of the ex...

Has anyone heard of Enteric coated Asprin? Its been available for years, but surprisingly many doctors don't tell their patients about it. The enteric coating helps it to be absorbed without it harming the digestive system. And yes, you can get it here in Cyprus, slightly more expensive, but worth i...

I had the Astra Zennica jab, it was OK for me though it had some side effects, chiefly flu like symptoms for first 36 hrs. I would have preferred Pfizer had it been available.

Still, I hope that my reaction to it meant that I would develop anti bodies to the virus.

You will still be subject to the same restrictions. Probably he can print you a Form B, thats if you don't have a mobile with a local sim.

Sometimes avid readers of the social media channels end up taking wrong decisions...
of course people have the right to decide if they want to take the vaccine.
But apparently some of these people end up in hospital having caught the virus, and end up regretting that they refused the jab.

I am surprised that some people are determined not to have the vaccine. Unless there is a valid medical reason for this, it seems foolish not to avail oneself of the chance to get vaccinated. If people opt out thats their business, but they should bear in mind that getting the virus may well be much...

Hi Sadie, As you enter the front of the hospital through the glass doors, you will usually see queues of People queuing to register to your left. You will see the corridor to the right, walk down it and you will see chairs in the corridor for those waiting. When I went for my vaccination, it was the...

Like you I also like paying for my Gesy prescriptions using my debit card.
To date I have never been asked to pay cash by a Pharmacy either.

Tourists probably wouldn't be able to send an SMS, unless they switched to a local sim card for their mobile. Guessing that probably most wouldn't bother.....

And we shouldn't have to keep sending an SMS every time we go out.

For the current rules on what the UK requires for a British person to leave the UK( which is currenttly forbidden unless you can produce an acceptable reason for urgent travel) Your best bet is to contact the BHC in Nicosia. They should be able to tell you.

I wonder what the Govt plan is for the Greek Easter which is coming up at the end of this month? Will they still keep the SMS system? I suspect whatever the minister decides many people will continue doing their own thing...

There you go again, WHL, venting your spleen. I was talking about accounts of what happened over the whole period of the troubles in Cyprus. I am also well aware of the three countries who were also involved. I am also trying to be diplomatic in my replies to you which is also difficult. But I am no...

Actually, I have read quite a lot about the history of Cyprus. One thing which I have found that depending on who wrote the account of his experience of life in Cyprus over the period, 1959-74, that one can read, a different picture of actual events which happened paint a different picture. No side ...

Ditto for me too.

Yes. a good idea! If your idea was adopted, the JCB's at Kamares, would be bearers of many of such stickers. While living there, we noticed that for every house being developed in our neighbourhood, we could expect some water or electricity outages. They often seemed to manifest themselves soon afte...

I read an account in an on line article, yes, its true that while the UK were EU members we could vote in municipal elections. I was one of those who registered to vote. But I read that now the UK is in negotiations for British legal residents in Cyprus, with the Cypriot Govt to continue to allow th...
