Cumberland sausage in Paphos, so there are good things in Paphos. Maybe there is market for Willow Water and Kendal Mint Cake.

Two eggs, three rashers, sausage, baked beans, half a tomato & chips plus toast, butter & jam and as much coffee as I wanted......€4.60.

Served with a smile by a beautiful shapely Bulgarian young lady.

Now that is what I call a good deal.

I could tell you where but I don't want my hand smacked again for a maybe advertising offence!

What did it for you, the food or the totty? :lol:

1. A bigger dot will appear for “Paphos” on all maps; from the standard 1mm to a generous 1.2mm!

2. The last couple of Pelicans roaming around the harbour will be put down so no Paphian EVER gets crapped on again!

3. Calling Paphos “Pathos” will warrant an immediate arrest and prison sentence.

4. Brits in white socks and sandals heavily taxed upon entering Paphos!

5. The Tombs of the Kings will now be renamed to... "The Tombs of APOP"!

And much, much more…

Lana

has already pledged to make Paphos the Capital city of Cyprus, just like it was when Cypriots were spreading their language, philosophy, culture and wisdom many centuries ago.

You don't stand a chance.... :lol:

It reminds me of a very exclusive restaurant we once fitted out. So exclusive it was it closed down 9 months on.
Tourism is the lifeline to most Cypriot businesses in Paphos as well as in all other parts of Cyprus. You cant just defend extravagant prices by saying it keeps out the " poor"
I have and always have had a taste for the good things in life. Wine being my passion followed by a civilized clean restaurant with good food , and not necessary nouveau cuisine. Spending a couple of hundred quid per head for a sumptuous meal and good wine was never a problem , although with the recession it now is , but being riped off and charged 20 euros for a bottle of plonk and a mediocre meal cooked by some untrained chef has never excited me.
We need not only to preserve our tourism but to increase it , and tourists usually want value for money .
Comments by O are irresponsible and may I say offensive to those whose livelihood relies on tourist revenue.

How can my opinion supporting the tourist industry to charge as it sees fit be misconstrued by even you as irresponsible? Market forces, old chap! Keynes and Malthus, Smith and even Marx to you ... have nothing to do with what I say or do! The Capitalists are free to do as they wish. Personally, I wouldn't live beyond my means nor moan if I could not afford to go to the Ritz (I can, but won't for other reasons) and am the most content person here because I can live (unwashed :lol:
