Paphos is a deserted building site.

Cyprus, cluttered with litter, is a sight.

Does that help??


Now I understand, it was just your inability to spell in your native language confused me, but that seems to be a common problem with Brits of Paphos.

I don't deny the problems, but do get pissed of when they are highlighted by people that contributed to them.

Are we talking Hedge Fund Managers, again? :roll:

They certainly tore the heart out of the UK ....

There's plenty of people wheeling their life's possessions in a Sainsbury's trolley at the moment. :(

Paphos was and is the place for losers. Historically, Cypriots would avoid going to Paphos unless they had to. Paphos was the least developed region for as far as I can remember. It was considered "hillbilly" country... Paphites even spoke differently than the rest of Cyprus.

1974 war, forced many displaced people, especially from the Famagusta area to move there. Cheap land attracted foreign capital, hence the large Brit settlements.

All the action is happening in Limassol & Napa area. Nicosia is more business like life. If Varoshia is returned, along with it's great beach & hotels, the action would move there quickly... Paphos to be sidelined again. For you folks living in the Paphos area, let me just say, you are in the "retirement" region... bedtime 9:00 pm at the latest.

I agree about Limassol and Nicosia, but Napa closes for 6 months of the year. After working in that area for a number of years it is quite clear that absolutely nothing happens after the holiday season. Things might change if the area was geared up for more than just the younger generation in the summer months. Definately an area that should be promoted to a wider range of customer...unless you just want to grow potatoes and like it how it used to be. :?
