BEFORE Susan Goode (not her real name) bought a property in Paphos, she diligently checked out the area, making sure there was easy access to shops and amenities, that the beach was indeed within easy walking distance, even double checked the 15 houses within her complex were occupied by permanent residents, and not liable to be rented out every summer to screaming hordes of tourists.
THERE is no need to state the obvious about how vital water is to human life, and even in the past six months in Cyprus, lifestyles have had to change drastically to work around the stringent restrictions in supply.
You’d think sailing off an island would be an easy task but JEAN CHRISTOU discovered otherwise)
CYPRUS may have eons of seafaring history behind it, but trying to get off the island by boat today is more tricky than it probably was a few thousand years ago.
A 29-YEAR-old Nicosia woman was yesterday remanded in custody for eight days after killing her younger sister, shooting her twice in the head with a shotgun in front of their third sister.
All three sisters were teachers and all three still lived with their mother, who was away at the time of the murder.
Sir,
Paphos airport’s new terminal building will begin operation in November. For months now there is electrical power at this building and although it is a closely guarded area and nobody works at night, they switch on all and every single light in this new building every night – and this is through the whole night.
Sir,
I note the article in your August 6 issue relating the angst of the building industry in the Paphos area regarding what they see as over-bureaucratic and lengthy procedures to get planning consent and building permits.
Sir,
I feel that I must write in response to D. Demetriou (Sunday Mail July 27) who advocates stricter laws and sentences to curb unacceptable behaviour from young people in our societies.
Sir,
As Larnaca airport stumbles from one embarrassing revelation of its inefficiency to another, some may look forward to the opening of the new Larnaca airport terminal building as a fresh beginning and the turning of a page in a sorry saga. I wonder, though…
Sir,
I read with interest the comments on the front page of the online Cyprus Mail regarding the fluctuation in the cost of petrol in Cyprus.
Sir,
Following the latest discussions in the media, regarding the presence of dogs in public places, I would like to say the following:
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.
