In general, some Greek street names are exceedingly hard for the uniniated to learn, pronounce and then remember in the case of an emergency. Therefore, it can be handy to write down your address when you arrive in case you have to call for help.
If something happened at home rather than call the ambulance I would likely go across the street to where the fire department is and ask for assistance from the paramedic and/or have them call the ambulance for me. Therefore, if you have a chance keep your eyes open for any police or fire stations or hospitals that might be conveniently located near where you are staying. Leave a Comment

 alien registration certificate by MrBill
Finally the slow wheels of officialdom started turning, and I was able to get my temporary residence permit and my alien registration certificate.
In order to apply, I needed a valid work contract for at least one year; letters of reference; certified copies of my various degrees and diplomas; a recent copy of my police record; and a bank reference. In my case, my application was vetted by the National Bank of Cyprus and the Cyprus Securities Commission to decide whether or not I was suitable to work in Cyprus before my application was forwarded along to the immigration authorities.
I needed to have blood samples taken, which were tested for AIDS/HIV, and x-rays taken to check for cancer, tumors and TB.
I also had to post a bond in case they needed to deport me. Being a Canadian, they wanted CYP 500 because they would have to send me a long way. However, I told them I still had a valid German residence permit so they would only have to send me as far as Germany. They settled for a CYP 300 bond for 18-months.
I swear they just make this stuff up as they go along, but at least now I have my paperwork in order. It must be time to move-on then? ; - ) Leave a Comment

They seem to change colour as the day progesses...
From the first day I noticed those mountain ranges I had fallen in love with them.
We as kids always took some trip there secretly from our parents. Leave a Comment

There are a lot of misconceptions about crossing the Green Line. In fact it is fairly straight forward if you know a couple of things :
There are five crossing points (from west to east) :
Astromeritis (near Morphou)
Agios Dometios (in Nicosia)
Ledra Palace (in Nicosia - only for pedestrians)
Pyla (near Larnaca)
Agios Nikolaos (near Famagusta)
The check points are open 24 hours a day (except Astromeritis which closes at 7pm)
When you come to the Turkish check point, first get temporary insurance for your car (if driving) and then fill out a "visa form" and hand both to the border guard. He will then enter your particulars into a computer and stamp the visa paper (not your passport). Don't loose the visa slip as you will need it upon leaving.
You may stay in the North essentially for as long as you like. When coming back you may bring back goods worth 135 Euros, as well as 40 Cigarettes and 1 litre of alcohol.
If you are an EU-citizen you may cross the Green Line regardless of point of entry to Cyprus. Iif you are not, and especially if you are from a non-western country, you are likely to get fined or arrested by Greek Cypriot authorities if you have entered the island via a North Cypriot airport or harbour.
Rental cars may sometimes be taken across, but inquire with the rental company beforehand.

If it was posible to taste and smell history I would have smelled it when I gazed down from a hiltop ,the willage looks as if it is sleeping , the shade of the hill beginning to cover the willage as aftrnoon closes in,soon it will be pitch dark and a billion stars will shine as they diid for always.
Fondest of all my memories in Cyprus is the smell in the air of a million different plants and flowers and trees and the sound of insects at night. Leave a Comment

Driving up to the kykhos monestry on unchartered roads in a suzuki vitara. There was a 1000 metre drop on the right hand side of the car and no safety barrier, it was a little bit scary. The magnificent church at kykos with its gold every where. Also driving back in a car full of water as we had no roof and while in the monestary there had been a thunderstorm and the jeep was full of water.
Platres in the mountains is a welcolm relief from the 90 degree heat that you get in cyprus. Leave a Comment
