You will have to register with the Cyprus Tourism Organisation to do B&B legally. To do that you will need to have all sorts of inspections and apply for all sorts of licences, which could take years and in the end you might not get them.

B&B is a good idea, There is a magazine called "The grapevine" you could place an ad in there or something.
Where will you be living? we have two villas and two town houses available for rent, pm me if you need to know more info okay.
Bringing children with you?
questions questions!! 8)


Why is it a good idea? There are stacks of places to stay. How will they advertise? People dont come over for one night-3 nights they come over for one or two weeks and stay in private villas/apartments or hotels. Not sure myself.


Wrong as usual Z4... :roll:

I have a customer that runs a very successful B & B in the Limassol district.

mickhaigh, if you contact me by PM (after you have made a number of posts) I will give you their contact details and web site.


Take me to a website which says that Cyprus is crying out for B&B's. If you can't then I rest my case :roll:

The children are grow up 18 and 20 and are stopping at home they may follow on later.
Lee the car is a ltr Freelander and il pm you later if you don't mind Just got up and getting ready to go tile a bathroom.
Z4 Don't you think i haven't looked into this.There's always one that will try to pull others down to there level.


Hi Mick

Not trying to put you down. Just not sure it will work that's all. I hope you prove me wrong but who is going to be your target market?

As CBBB said you will need a licence and this could take years

Please don't listen to the crap that comes from CyprusGrumps keyboard. She just has a thing against me, not that I give a f**k

Take me to a website that says it isn't and I'll rest mine. :roll:

Plus I have a customer who is successfully running such a business as I mentioned earlier... :roll:

Plus Mick has already researched the subject. :wink:

You are trying to put him down without knowing anything about the market... :roll:

You didn't even know about the licence until CBB mentioned it... :roll:

You know, it is embarrassing watching you running round the forum trying to curry favour with other established posters...

Still, at least mickhaigh has seen through you. :wink:

One potential issue might be a swimming pool; most people holidaying in the Pafos region, want access to a pool. If it is strictly a B&B, will clients be able to spend the day on the premises? If you do have a pool, strictly to comply with a law, a lifeguard may be required - although of course those Regualtions are freely ignored here!

How do you know if I did or didnt know about the licence? You don't, so please don't assume what I know or don't know.

I don't know anything about B&B's but I am only giving him my opinion as I am entitled to do that, just like you are too. :roll: But what do you actually know about running a B&B then clever-cloggs? Nothing?

It's also embarrasing watching some of your posts and the way you talk to people at times, not that you really give a hoot.

Ah, but my opinion, unlike yours is based on factual evidence. :wink:

And no, I don't give a toss what anybody thinks about my posts - I can spell embarrassing though... :lol:
