I would have said your nearest Kiosk, then you don't have to transport it too far.

Or if you are out in a Vehicle a supermarket may save you a few cents.

Most of the Kiosks store the bottles in the open, some even in the Sunshine. I would not buy from them!
Best place are the large supermarkets with a proper storage room.

Not true about all kiosks storing water bottles in the open. The ones in my area Tala/ Trimithousa at least store water bottles inside and out of the sun.It should be well known that drinking water in containers must never be exposed to the sun. That's a big no no for health reasons. I always buy the big 19 litre bottles which fit on my water machine . That's probably the cheapest way of buying drinking water!

Just out of interest, but have you bottled water guys 'n gals actually checked the labels on these bottles of water, to ensure that they contain the right sort of minerals that our bodies require for drinking purposes?

AL :?

Fill from the fresh water tap, at least you know where it came from, I used to use a cooler machine but found a way of filling the bottles up myself and re-taping the top back on. worked fine never had any problems, Cyprus drinking water is perfect, and where do you think that bottled water is filled? do you know? and how long it has been stored? why waste your dosh? I do use a Brita filter Jug for the coffee machine, no reason only convenience to fresh water.

Lots of short videos to maybe convince you not to buy bottled water, your choice I know, but really they are spinning you a yarn or two.

We have a large filter type bottle that sits on top of the dispenser which we fill from the tap. It suits us. They sell them in the Home Centre.

Be careful. The filter bottles don't fit every type of water dispenser.
