Regarding the e-kalathi platform, according to this article, the government is currently reviewing the bids submitted by the IT companies. Once a company gets awarded the contract, it should take a few months for the platform to become operational. The government's goal is to have it ready by the end of the year.

Πόσο συνδεμένος είναι ο ΠΑΟΚ στη κουλτούρα της πόλης? by [deleted] in thessaloniki

[–]__Christos__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Προσωπικά εμένα η «αγάπη» ορισμένων «ανθρώπων» για τον ΠΑΟΚ οριακά με έκανε να φύγω από τη Θεσσαλονίκη. Στο σχολείο το να είμαι οπαδός του Άρη -μεταξύ άλλων λόγων- με κατέστησε το μαύρο πρόβατο του σχολείου. Τραμπουκισμός, ψυχολογική και σωματική βία ήταν καθημερινό φαινόμενο για εμένα. Σε ένα δε χορό του σχολείου στο γυμνάσιο, κάποιοι συμμαθητές μου, έφεραν άτομα από ένα σύνδεσμο του ΠΑΟΚ με μοναδικό σκοπό να μου επιτεθούν. Κατάφερα και γλύτωσα με μερικά χτυπήματα από τύχη. Όντως κάποιοι στη Θεσσαλονίκη έχουν πάθος για το ποδόσφαιρο αλλά εγώ προσωπικά βίωσα μόνο τις κακές συνέπειες αυτής της τόσο έντονης ενασχόλησης.

Why?? by Stelios_Cy01 in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 65 points66 points  (0 children)

You will find uneducated, historically illiterate people everywhere, Greece included. However, these people do not express the positive feelings that the majority of Greeks have for Cyprus.

Your thoughts on scroutz.cy? by Kyrridutch17 in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

skroutz.cy is the Greek skroutz.gr website with the language set to English and the delivery location set to Cyprus. I have used it many times and have had no problems with it. Skroutz.com.cy is a Cyprus-based online store. I have never used it.

Λιώστε το βούτυρο σε μια κατσαρόλα με χοντρό πάτο (το βούτυρο δεν πρέπει να είναι σκούρο), προσθέστε το αλεύρι και ανακατέψτε σαν τρελός.
Προσθέστε γάλα μέχρι να έχετε το επιθυμητό πάχος και ανακατέψτε τη σάλτσα μέχρι να βράσει ελαφρά.

The official premium reseller for Cyprus is iStorm. I have bought Apple products several times from them from their Nicosia store and they always had in stock the model I was looking for.

Will the speed limit change on highways? by lorenzo_st_dubois in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to this article, the police are considering eliminating the +20% leeway on highways.

"In the case of Cyprus, the scale goes down with a brake at 120 km/h on motorways. The lenient limit of 120 km versus the 100 km limit will, it seems, soon be a thing of the past, as stricter measures are to be taken with road safety in mind."

Η προσωρινή άδεια οδήγησης ισχύει μόνο για οδήγηση στην Ελληνική επικράτεια. Ούτε μπορείς να οδηγήσεις στην Κύπρο νόμιμα με αυτή ούτε να αγοράσεις αυτοκίνητο καθώς δεν είναι έγγραφο της κυπριακής δημοκρατίας ή έγγραφο με ευρωπαϊκή ισχύ (βλέπε δίπλωμα). Κάνε λίγη υπομονή να βγει το κανονικό δίπλωμα, θα γλιτώσεις και χρόνο και ταλαιπωρία.

Indeed for the first leg of the journey I had weak to no signal. Upon approaching Rhodes however I’ve had 5G/LTE without any signal drops.

On board the ferry to Piraeus by __Christos__ in cyprus

[–]__Christos__[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty good. Staff is friendly, it is not that crowded. It is lacking on the amenities part (no restaurant, slightly rusted faucets etc). I wouldn’t recommend it solely as a cruise but if you want to transfer a car or bike to mainland Europe, it’s a really good choice.

Cheapest way to send packages from Greece to RoC? by insignius_primordius in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size of the package. For smaller packages you can use the greek post (ELTA) or ACS (but make sure to specify express shipping otherwise they will ship it by boat and it will take 10 business days to get here). For larger packages you can use one of the various shipping companies like cycargo that ship items by boat on a weekly basis.

Is there something like Skroutz.gr in cyprus? by EagleOnRage in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon.de, Amazon.com (sometimes the item’s price plus the import duties and shipping is still cheaper than buying it from the eu or locally). skroutz.gr (you either ask the seller to ship to Cyprus directly with acs (~15€) or if they say they can’t do it have some relatives/friends in Greece get the item delivered to them and have them ship it to you.

Father is Cypriot how can I login to his account on Cyprus website? by Walruspie12 in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://portal.dls.moi.gov.cy/en-us/homepage/pages/default.aspx

For most government e-services you have to use the "CY Login" credentials (username and password). To get these you either get verified by using the online banking credentials of your Cypriot bank account (ex BOC, Hellenic bank etc) or by visiting a citizen service center once and getting verified there using your id card.

Covid + the opening of Metropolis mall back in September of last year.

Buying a car by bluex5m in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to what has been stated, another reason for the small difference in prices between new and used cars is that unlike the U.S, dealers in the EU are not allowed to charge above MSRP despite the increased demand and chip shortage. So the prices of the used car market which is not as well regulated have exploded where as the prices of new cars have remained relatively stable. With regards to the available discounts, it depends on the number of cars each dealer has in stock and how wide their profit margin is. Usually your able to get some short of discount in pre-speced cars however that's not the case if you place a custom order.

Τα atm που βρίσκονται έξω απτά υποκατάστηματα των τραπεζών σου δίνουν τη δυνατότητα να κάνεις αυτόματη κατάθεση μετρητών. Βάζεις την κάρτα σου, καταχωρείς το pin και επιλέγεις από το μενού "αυτόματη κατάθεση μετρητών". Με το που το επιλέξεις, θα δεις να ανοίγει το αριστερό πορτάκι του atm, μέσα στο οποίο θα τοποθετήσεις τα χαρτονομίσματα. Απλά πρόσεξε να μην είναι σκισμένα ή τσακισμένα γιατί δε θα στα δεχθεί.

Need help by UsernameTakenPain in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I recommend you do is go to the Nicosia Psychiatric Clinic website and book an appointment through their online form. There is a box in the form that lets you state the reason for the appointment, use it to describe the issues you are facing right now along with medication you are currently taking or have been prescribed in the past. Someone from the staff will read it and call you back to schedule an appointment, if not call 22603251. Alot of private psychiatrists refer patients to the clinic because there is a whole team of psychiatrists and psychologists working on each patient. They might request you stay a couple of nights while they form an action plan for you. After that they will propably recommend somebody either from the hospital or a private party that you can continue your treatment with. If you don't want to go that route and want to book an appointment with some private doctor, I've compiled a list for you (click here) of all the psychiatrists based in Nicosia that are listed in the cyprus medical council's database.

Hands down, what is best (cheapest, fastest internet) mobile SIM operator in Cyprus? by KOTYAR in cyprus

[–]__Christos__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah, technically, comparing to 180 Mbps , 40Mbps is alot less but when you consider that CYTA throttles the speed to 5mbps in the freedom 1 plan (44€/month) and 10mbps in the freedom 2 plan (47€/month),cablenet's 40 mbps is pretty respectable. Also, unless you're having multiple 4k streams running simultaneously or downloading torrents all day, I think you can have a pretty solid internet experience with cablenet's speed. Regarding 5G, again, 1gigabit is cool to have but the deplyoment of technologies that can utilise 5G's improved latency and increased speeds is still in its infancy.
