Mr Grump

You are being very un-Grumpish, is it the absence of a certain 'contributor' which is bringing on this sudden change?

I am on my best behaviour…

Or ...................... on the wine again - like in the picture you posted the other night!!

BTW, do not rate the one I am drinking. YUK!

Why not eat with the Cypriots - they don't bite - if you see what I mean; usually it is a good recommendation for the taverna if it busy with locals.

I do not think the Easters coincide, so you will find everywhere busy with tourists rather than locals.

Peyia and Paphos are refreshingly full of Cypriots this weekend, it being Green Monday tomorrow.

WHEN is easter is CY? it is sunday march 23rd here.

Easter Sunday 27th April.

ok, thanks.
what does Carnival have to do with Easter? are they linked?
and can anyone explain why there are two seperate Easter's, depending on which Christian religion one believes in?

ok, since there are no takers on my question, i did a little research on my own, and discovered the greek orthodox easter is based on the Julian calendar, while us western christians are based on the Gregorian calendar. not exactly sure what that means, but that is my next research project.
so does that mean that Carnival is the last big hurrah before Lent?
