15th August in Cyprus

Postby Sega » Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:07 pm

Since this is my first year here, when concerning work I wanted to ask all Cyprus residence how the 15th of August is in Cyprus. Apparently more than half of the employees applied for leave during that time.

Does everything go dead?
How do people work during those times?

I have not applied for a break during this time, does this mean I will be doing nothing since I will have no clients?

This is all very confusing, normally in the UK summer is the busiest time of year, well it is for chips anyway. So how does this compare over here?

In Nicosia the two weeks around the 15th of August are great!

NO TRAFFIC.

NO PEOPLE.

NO CUSTOMERS.

The only problem is that most of the pubs are shut!
