FYI, and apologies if this is old news, we’ve just found out in the Cyta shop in the Kings Mall, that the validity periods for PAYG top ups has changed since we last did a top up, so a €10 top is now valid for 6 months rather than 12, and €5 one for 3 months rather than 6. Something to be aware of, ...

Πι Και Φι (PI & FI). 70 007777 is the main number listed on FB (It’s one of a chain). I think the local number is 26 955252 based on google.

FYI for those who don’t enjoy these periods, or have pets or animals that don’t.

You should a;som heck out EcoTech and Cyprus Internet. Depending on wher you are you may fall under the coverage area that EcoTech are able to offer Fibre over the air.

Both more bang for for your buck than Cyta.

Bucket loads of them on Amazon, had them from both U.K. and DE Amazon, and Lidl when they appear.

For the first time today, I used the SMS system.. I tried to get a ticket from the machine and the 1 euro coin for 30 minutes went straight through the machine.. So, I sent an SMS with just the number on the car parking space.. I got a message saying I had been charged 1-17. I got another message a...

Just the space number painted on the ground in each space.

A friend recently had a similar issue and was advised to go to the post office and ask for DHL express service. Cost around €30 but was signed for by their solicitor the following afternoon in the NW of England.

Store in Paphos is near the Mall, more or less opposite the bowling alley.

According to a comment on Facebook they are actually a subsidiary of Currys. From the PLC website: “ In the UK&I we trade as Currys; in the Nordics under the Elkjøp brand and as Kotsovolos in Greece and Cyprus.” About 90 odd branches across mainland Greece, Crete and Rhodes plus the stores here...

I guess the original query perhaps because the OP does not have a smart phone, or a smart phone with a data plan? For those that do, the Paphos Smart Parking App is excellent. I’ve usually registered use of the space number before everyone is out of the car, and you only pay for the time used. For e...

Seems you cant read English very well either, It say in the first post, "up by Sports Direct".

Yes, it’s on the main road on the way to us. Great shop have “indulged” already

We have used Nufa LTD - on the main road just before Paphos Mall, close to Ginos Pizza and more or less opposite Begonia Garden Centre, for iPhone battery replacement and replacement of a broken iPad Pro screen. Both jobs done quickly and very happy with the results. You could also try iStorm in the...

We have a standard pump rather than a specific solar pump, so cheap to replace, connected to an inverter in the pool room and 6 off Grid panels. Has been great since August 2015. We also have the pipe work for a second pump if we needed it for ‘grid connected’ pumping, but have never needed it.

Trevor, This was recommended to me by one of the other volunteers in the charity shop a few years ago, as it turned out I didn’t need a car in the end so can’t personally vouch for them, but it looks like others can. You need to state normal country of residence when requesting a quote. https://www....

Sorry to appear picky, but it’s Biometric, not Barometric, though I do accept most of us like to talk about the weather

Yup, by chance we were one of the first up there. The redeveloped park Dominc videoed looks good even though still early days in terms of planting.
