Paphos has seen its fourth fatality in the last week (between May 23, 09 – June 2 09), and the eighth since the beginning of the year.

I moved to Cyprus because of the weather. Yes, there were other reasons that influenced my decision but in the back of my head, the idea of enjoying life without extreme, harsh winters gave me a great feeling. No longer scraping the snow off of the windscreens of my vehicles and jumping the battery that would not turn the engine over in the below zero temperatures. Since being here ( this is my third...
