I have just booked to come to Cyprus on 7th April but now reading how cold the pools are! My daughter desperately wants a pool holiday but worried now that won't happen. Any thoughts appreciated 🙂

I keep stumbling upon these words on walls: «χοχοι ψοφο» and «λαστιχα ψοφο» Who are the «χοχοι» and in what context are «λαστιχα» used?

Hey! I saw this painting at a rock bar in Nicosia and I was wondering who it is

For some reason, some internet circles often treat Cyprus as an Asian country, and it's often used as a counterargument online that the EU accepted Cyprus even though its geographically a part of Asia so the EU can also accept countries in other continents, although continental definitions are completely arbitary especially when talking about islands. However, in daily life, at least in Greece, very few people think that Cyprus may be a part of Asia and it's always been treated as a, geopolitically at least, part of Europe, even before its EU accession.

We're looking to visit Paphos in early July as a family of 4 - it's been about 30 years since I was there as a teenager ....

We'd prefer to stay in a quieter / family part since the kids are still young, so avoiding noise and being near to bars that are open late. I'm assuming there is perhaps one area where the nightlife is clustered?

Any recommendations for areas that might suit us?!

A few places I’ve stayed here have set top boxes that seem to have every channel from around the world. Remind me of what we in the UK call ‘dodgy fire sticks’ (i.e. Amazon Fire Sticks). Are these set top boxes legit? How does one go about getting one? What do they cost?

I just moved here and did a particularly big shop at Alpha Mega yesterday. Because it was all piling up at the other end while I was still emptying the trolley, the checkout lady asked if it was alright if they helped me pack? Another employee was waiting at the end of the checkout for my answer. I said yes, but then thought “Wait, am I meant to tip these people if they pack?”. In many countries you’re meant to, and I didn’t have any cash. What’s the protocol?

So i graduated highschool in 2012 and already have a college diploma in radiation oncology and have been working in the health care profession for the last 5 years. My grades in school were all above average but not all 90%+. Is it still feasible to be considered and admitted into the program? Just curious how much consideration is put into grades when also considering work experience and other education.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I am trying to find out when the current school year will end this June for public secondary schools (both middle schools and lyceums). Does anyone know where I can find the official calendar from the ministry of education? I searched their website and others, but cannot find this information. Thanks for your help!

We were going through my great grandfather’s stuff (rip), he was a soviet politician, and found this cool card sent in 1997:))

Hi All,

I have a unique opportunity to buy a business which is very profitable. 12 500 Euros per month net earnings. It's a highly specialized health care business with a very large clientele. There are very few people qualified for this profession in Cyprus. The owner is selling as they are relocating. I have agreed a portion of the purchase price to be financed through seller finance but need 50K to place as a down payment. I will have February to complete the due diligence and will be working in the business for 3 months before the take over. Are there any facilities that one could approach for this kind of financing? All financials are available and audited. The business is based in Limassol. Please DM me if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Hey guys, regarding the yellow slip, I opened my bank account a couple of weeks ago and have been in Cyprus< in and out> for the past 4 months. I am planning to start applying this week regardless of my account not being open for 3 months. Can anybody offer some advice as to how strict they are and what the implications are of doing this late?

Edit:

If you're a Greek citizen, you can stay in Cyprus indefinitely because both Greece and Cyprus are in the EU.

Υπάρχουν ιδιώτες ή εταιρίες στη Κύπρο που αναλαμβάνουν να κανουν cable management ή να διαμορφώσουν σωστα ενα υφιστάμενο ντουλάπι σε σπίτι οπου καταλήγουν ολα τα καλώδια. (Ethernet cables, cameras cables, tv cables, etc).

Εχω ενα κεντρικο ντουλάπι οπου καταλήγουν ολα και ειναι χαμός!

I cannot find anything on google or rover. Only places I can find are kennels where the dogs are locked in cages most of the day

Hi! Im coming out to Cyprus for a warm weather training camp in Late April/Early May.

Ive previously asked about swimming lap pools (any insight into the availability for the public to swim at the two pools next to the GSZ stadium/AEK Arena would be really appreciated)

My next question is around running tracks, im going to be based in Ormideia, does anyone know of publicly available running tracks around this area? There seems to possibly be two on the E310 between Ormideia and Xylotymbou?

Is the track at GSZ useable?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I’m 15M from the UK, my dad is full Cypriot and my mum is native English, and I’ve been accepted into a school in a place called paralimni, is paralimni any good? Is it anglicised? Will I feel at home there?

As the title suggests. I'm looking to hear your experience with Temu or ali express. Especially for those who used both services. Which is more reliable? Which is faster? Do you have any other recommendations? I'm looking to order some stuff I need for my home and I don't want to get scammed or wait endlessly. Thank you!

Hi, does anyone here have information or experience with obtaining an international driving permit in Cyprus?

I have a German driving license and need an international one. I have been living in Cyprus for several years.

So my question is: Can I apply for it here in Cyprus, or can I still get it in Germany? Because as far as I know, when my regular license expires, I would only be able to exchange it in Cyprus.

I have EU residence and I am citizen of Azerbaijan. Can I go to Cyprus from EU and pass the border to Northern Cyprus stay there 2-3days then come back to Cyprus?

First image. Can I pass to the left on the red light if the road markings are dashed?

Second. Let's assume you are in a blue car and you didn't make it to the right on the green arrow. If the oncoming traffic is so large that you also did not have time to pass on the regular green light, do you have the right to pass to the right on yellow or is it better not to move and wait for the arrow again? And if you approached the intersection when the green arrow was already out, do you have the right to pull out like this car did?

Hi all, do you know if there is any chance to go to Troodos mountains /wine villages by public transport or intercity buses from Limassol?
