I have a pal with a bungalow in the hills above Paphos Bay. Staying put though as I'm not good at flying or too much sun.[/quote


If you could get over the flying part, once you get there , you could choose when to
go out in the sun, comfort wine

Booking any holiday is a risk now .
But leaving this dump of a country is worth the risk .

Were you born here as I seem to recall from some posts that you are Greek? Do you ever want to return and set up over there?

I love my country and happy to spend my days here to be honest.handshake

Famagousta has been closed since 1974 .
It’s impossible to go there .

Tiger_Moth: Bucket lists are not just related to projects you hope to do before you depart from life, they can be goals that you aim for as a young person to better yourself .

What do you feel is important enough to achieve in your lifetime, and is it achievable.?

Mine was to go to Drama School but it has passed me by so I've just settled for other people's drama.
I'd like to attend one of the Vienna balls. smile

It's achievable, but I need a proper partner. One day... smile

You can go there whenever you want - there's no age limit. smile

You cannot cross directly into Famagusta from the southern part of Cyprus. Instead, you must cross the Green Line into the north (known as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus). ... Another option is to cross the border in Nicosia and then take a bus to Famagusta. They are operated by Itimat and leave every half hour.

Sorry to here that . From what I gather there is still a lot on tension due to the divide which may or may not have been the result of British occupancy in the 50's or I think that's what I read.

Still an ongoing issue apparently with the E.U. seemingly ignoring the problems.sigh

Now that's something to aim for. Here's something to wet your appetite.
