Re: New Paphos - Polis road finally approved

Getting back to the Paphos airport road subthread, It would be simple to widen the existing road around the military Taxiway (and why need it be longer that than the runway anyway?). There is an existing road which could be widened or, by means of a comparatively cheap infill, extended beyond the ex...

Re: New Paphos - Polis road finally approved

Terry,
The distance to complete the new airport access road is around one kilometer, crossing a riverbed and three fields takes you to the end of the runway.
I agree that completing this (and raising the stupid 50 speed limit to 65) would actually make a big difference to access for a busy airport.

Avon Skin So Soft

Does anyone know if this is available in the Paphos area? I used to buy it at Timi Market. It's a very effective mosquito repellent and much more pleasant than many alternatives.

Thanks in advance

Re: Mateus Rose Wine

The average restaurant price of Mateus is €15 ish. A bit high for wine we have bought in Smart for €2.95 at times.

However it is from Portugal and, unlike Cyprus wines, almost without sulphites. This makes it (at least for us) much more acceptable than many local products.

Re: Bringing purchases back from the North

Mmmm, we have been checked, on the return journey from the North last year which is why we'd like to be certain of the limits (if any).

Bringing purchases back from the North

While there last week we were told that purchases to the value of €75 could be taken from the South to the North by people who live in the North providing they have receipts for the purchases. However, no one can confirm whether a similar allowance operates in the other direction, i.e. residents in ...

Re: Aerosols on flights from UK

Thanks for your replies. The aerosol although very small (50ml) contains a bath repair spray, hence the problem I think. However, I may have found an alternative method of shipping, via LHUKCY. I'm going to contact them.

Aerosols on flights from UK

We've just been informed that aerosols can no longer be sent by post for security reasons. A recent order of ours was destroyed for this reason.

Does anyone know if aerosol containers are allowed on board flights, in checked-in luggage?

Thanks in advance

Re: Drain Unblocker / Septic Tank Emptier

We have used Faganas (99624919) when we needed to empty our septic tank for repair work (the developer had forgotten the pipe from the tank to the soakaway). The were very prompt and clean, it cost €80.

Knee replacement at the General

Does anyone have personal experience/knowledge of what the General can offer and the length of the waiting list. Also do they use the latest techniques and implants? A PM would be most welcome.

Does anyone know if there's an outlet in Paphos selling scarf pendants? It's a great way to dress up a scarf.

Ebac 2650e dehumidifer

Does anyone know where I could buy an Ebac 2650e dehumidifier in the Paphos area?

I've found a supplier in the Lanarca area but I seem to remember someone selling them in Paphos but this was several years ago.

Thanks
