Thanks. That sounds like just the place I have been looking for ever since Julios next to the Katholiki church shut his doors for good.

The cypriots know every trick in the book to extract money from you,they a brought up from an early age to never lend money always borrow and never pay back what you owe and thats a fact.
The happy tourist place it use to be has gone, its all about takin money now.Inotice now that its not the smiling genuine cyprus smile that invites us into ther bars but how much do you have in your pocket to line mine


As they say "if you don't like it go back to Utopia in the UK"

Wow is that old song still number one in Kyproulia?
I think the origin of progress is to advance ones self to a better way,
Isnt that why you jouned the EU?
Thats why your Kyproulia bretheren around the free world have the right to critisize the country where they live, even stand as a politician.
I think its you that may have to change your tune as 70% of the laws now being inplemented come from Brussels..
Have a nice day.

Palio mentions that in the UK he was charged 22 euros for a shot of tequila. Simply Palio such prices do not exist anywhere in the UK unless you were in areas such as the Soho and in clubs that exist purely to deceive the visitors.
In South London a new venue came on the scene early December last , talk about value for money !!
A jaz restaurant , bar where you sit at the bar in very comfortable surroundings and listen to live jaz music performed by bands of 5 or 6 members , the bands change every day , club is open only Thursday to Sunday.
The food is not only absolutely wonderful but very reasonable priced.
There is an £8 entrance fee . Last Saturday I visited , for the 3rd time , a bottle of red , a starter and a main meal , listened to the music which was just at the right sound level , and my bill ? Frankly I dont yet know , I walked out forgetting to ask for the bill , since my company fitted their kitchen out , Im known by management , I telephoned the following day and apologized had a laugh about it and I will be sent the bill.
Price for starters from £3.95 to £4.95 , main courses from £9.95 to £14.95 , wines from £15.00 to £27.00
SPIRITS , INCLUDING SHOTS £2.20 !!!
The name of this venue , THE HIDEAWAY .Bookings now ...taken.
Back to Cyprus now and the exorbitant prices of coffees , drinks etc demanded by some establishments. My answer to that is to avoid such places !! The amount of 7.50 euros mentioned for coffee is simply diabolical the Ritz in London charges £38.00 for its afternoon teas , including a selection of sandwiches , scones , cakes consumed in one of the worlds finest Hotels .
Have a look at the Tea Menu:

Enjoy a traditional Afternoon Tea in the spectacular Palm Court


Menu

Smoked Salmon Sandwiches
Ham Sandwiches
Chicken Sandwiches
Cucumber Sandwiches
Mature Cheddar Cheese Sandwiches
Egg Mayonnaise and Cress Bridge Roll



Freshly Baked Raisin and Apple Scones with
Devonshire Clotted Cream and Strawberry Preserve



Assortment of Afternoon Tea Pastries
Ritz Chocolate Cake


£38 per person
(£39 from May 2010)

A Glass of Champagne £18.00

Now visit the Paphos port restaurant scene and see what you get for 40 euros !!



Sounds good Milti. Our next outing will be at the 'Hideaway' and YOU and your famil will be my guest. :lol: will be my guests. :lol:
