Finally, the Directory option on the main site no longer asks you for a username. Instead you get taken to the Paphos Life Directory...
Currently there are two sections:
Useful Knowledge For Newcomers
- shows all the essential stuff, like the hospital, immigration office, etc.
Locations Featured in the Paphos Life Blog
- so now you should find it easy to locate those abandoned villages.
In the fullness of time there will be many more categories. But I would be grateful if people had a look at it as is, and reported back any faults.
If you have anything else that you feel needs to go in The Newcomers category, then don't be shy. Suggest it here and it may well get added.

Interestingly enough, the bus shelter is proving the most popular entry to look at. I shall have to expand the entry to include links to times etc.
If you check out the Immigration Centre entry you can see how to find the entrance!

Wow, fantastic. One remark though. You mention the main post office as being in Paphos but it is situated in Anavargos.

So is Paphos General Hospital, Paphos Home Market, and the International School of Paphos.

I manage a property right next to the International school and the water bill is addressed 'Paphos' and all in that area pay their bills to Paphos municipality. There is no mention of Anavargos on the formal addresses (electric too) even though it's commonly known as the Anavargos area.
The directory is a brilliant help. Perhaps the Social Insurance Department for those non retiree newcomers?

Re: The first phase of the directory is now open!
Absolutely true, but as there is only one Paphos General Hospital, one Paphos Home Market and one International School of Paphos but several Post offices, why not simply call it Anavargos, Paphos as the address.Dominic wrote: So is Paphos General Hospital, Paphos Home Market, and the International School of Paphos.

There are several post offices, but only one Main Post Office. Or District Post Office, as Google calls it.
There is no point telling a newcomer that the Main Post Office is in Anavargos, as a lot of maps, Google included, don't even show Anavargos. They just show it as an area of Paphos.
