THE BUILDING that today houses the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia is situated in the heart of the capital’s old town. It is one of the few remaining three-storey neoclassical buildings of the area and is of great historical, social and architectural interest. The modest façade of the building does not reveal the treasures that lie within.
Sir, Having visited your country again for another holiday (August 10-24) which we all enjoyed, I was somewhat concerned about the absolute lunatic motorcyclists on high performance machines racing along King George Street, from the traffic lights adjacent to Pizza Hut towards the holiday area, slowing past the police station on the right at Yermasoyia.
Sir, I have no desire to enter into any private war between Mr Semmens and Mr Elkis, but the latter needs to be rather more sure of what are facts and what are products of his imagination.
Sir, I refer to Nicos Elkis’ and Janet Gosling’s letters (August 31.) Nicos Elkis asks as about my credentials to speak with such authority on the Cypriot question.” As many of your readers will know, I have a unique experience of Cypriot “hospitality”, having been on the receiving end of the best and the worst Cyprus has to offer.
The leader column in the Cyprus Mail of August 9 was excellent. Particularly relevant to visitors is, as you say, “the elusive quality outside their five-star hotel”. The area of East Beach in Limassol is typical.
Sir, Having received my latest electricity bills from the EAC I was prompted to check their website, to find they supply electricity to the occupied areas. What is more, the price charged appears to be less than customers in the free areas are charged.

It’s ladies only for the new show at Limassol’s Miracle Strip Club. But how far do they go? IT IS strictly ladies only at Limassol’s first male strip club. Out of the 45 strip joints in Cyprus’ city that never sleeps, this is the one club that offers ‘equal entertainment’ for the girls. OK, it’s not the Full Monty.
NEO Hadjialexandrou was just 17 in 1984 when he won first prize in the Cyprus hunters’ sporting competition, beating 150 other men, much older and more experienced than himself and proving that he was a natural when it came to the highly disciplined sport of competitive shooting.
SMOKING kills. Everyone knows it, including smokers. Although there are around 1.1 billion smokers in the world (about one-third of the global population aged 15 and over) there are unfortunately a great many that believe that they are ‘healthier’ smokers than others.
The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
