Paphos Life

Have just checked the Govt reservoir storage table, as of today the water level at the Asprokremnos Dam is given as 36.1% full. So still a long way to go to fill up. This time last year the same dam was 66% full.

I understood that it was an substantial EU grant of circa €66M which Paphos was awarded when it won the competition to be the European City of Culture which was against Nicosia and Limassol. It is this money which appears to be behind all the projects for improvements to the town and buildings in Pa...

Yes, but according to what is reported by the local paper the prison is grossly over crowded, and bullying and violent assault by and to some inmates are a problem. There have been a number of suicides among prisoners. Prisoners are crowded into cells, designed for 1 but used for 3 persons, so not a...

Hear, hear! Hopefully they will be dealt with severely by the court. They deserve it. A long stay in Nicosia Central, which is likely to be far less comfortable that a jail in the UK.

The situation has changed re TV mags! I was surprised to find 'What's on TV' in the mini market in Tala, yesterday morning,. It's the current issue for this week. So there must be more somewhere else. Perhaps in Paps when it reopens.

Paphos, now into being the European City of Culture 2017, is not ready! Lethargic working on the roads in and around the old town 'Ktima Paphos' started late, in March 2016. During the summer very little was done, it was too hot! More effort was applied from Sept- Oct onwards. But, now the winter ra...

To my surprise this morning, I found that the 'What's on TV' has arrived, along with the Cy Sunday Mail. Must have come in in the previous 24hrs since I went there! I got mine at the Mini Market in Tala.I wasn't expecting to see the first one and had been told that we wouldn't have a Sunday Mail thi...

Happy New Year, Dom, I love your blog! I have been reading about the Kouklia Sugar Mill, which I have previously visited. But I haven't found the link to where you found this information, not being very computer literate! Please can you give it in a form which I can just click on? Oh and please keep...

It remains to be seen once Article 50 to start the brexit for real, is triggered. How well will a comparitively small nation with ideas to make their brexit tailor made to suit them, actually get on? It must be tough trying to negotiate such a deal with 27 other countries, all with different ideas! ...

Yes, thanks.

Thanks for your posts. Tried one and it worked like a charm. Even got to listen to my local radio station!

Yes, no TV mags in Paphos. Maybe because UK flights were disrupted by fog in LHR/LGW. Now prob no one working at Larnaca due to hols. Expect delivery maybe Tues/ Wed next week. Hardly worth buying!

Dominic, Weatherunderground has a forecast for Paphos International Airport. That's the one which I use. It has all the weather information clearly displayed. It also does a 10 day forecast. My husband,an airline pilot also used it as a guide as the weather information was good and usually very accu...

Try weatherunderground .com. It does weather for many locations including Paphos. It is usually pretty accurate!

Well you all seem to agree, so not much to discuss! However, I'm a remainer(please note spelling!) Just because I happen to disagree with the idea of a Brexit, I am not moaning! I think that it is still too early to speculate on exactly what a brexit will mean for the country. In my view what matter...

I had an emailthis morning with lots of details. The opening is scheduled for the weekend of the 28/29 Jan. There is to be a walk around Paphos Old Town on The morning of 28th. All the venues for the various events will be visited. Which will be useful, as some of them I have never previously heard ...

No damage here, just water level of pool has increased! I am glad that the weather forecast for today - more rain didn't happen! Instead a lovely sunny day which was very welcome!

No, not for filling up the car. It's their job isn't it?
However I do tip if one of them checks my tyre pressures.
