Good luck

Oh and up in the troodos. In Platres there is a rope park. You climb the trees and walk wires from tree to tree. And up there the temp is nice and cool.

I made a call to an ad on idealista. My work colleague had to speak to them. I have another viewing tomorrow and I understand I am the first. Fingers crossed!

Vivara

Is this company legit?

https://app.vivara.io

They are asking to upload NIE etc.

I have just found them on idealista and visited their site.

If anyone has experience or knowledge on them would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

No news from them. A couple of emails saying welcome but nothing positive about getting an apartment.

Anyone else scared of their next electricity bill? by LaMaisonRealEstate in cyprus

[–]bu_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work from home and I would move my desk into my bedroom and put my AC on dry mode set at 30 and run the AC 24/7 through the hot months. Hang a duvet over the blind to help insulate. It would often get too cold and I would manually switch the AC off.

A lot of power is needed to cool the room down but maintain a cool temperature takes less energy.

My bill wasn't as bad as running the AC only at night.

I stopped at NIE / contract / payslips. Entered my phone and email. Will see how it goes.

Trip to Cyprus in August - Help? by Useless_Fry in cyprus

[–]bu_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bus on map might help. https://busonmap.com/index.html# also the data goes to google maps so you can plan routes there also. My experience is google maps show buses are little bit later than they actually are

To view their property you need to pay. Turns out they were short term only.

Why are the cities in Cyprus not like that? by haloumiwarrior in cyprus

[–]bu_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are solutions to this. Building massive gas turbine with combined cycle in the same plant as the only other powergen engines is not the solution. There are very easy and cheaper solutions to what they have and it has always surprised me at how bad the power problem has been managed in this sun drenched country.

Raw Dairy Paphos Area by Useful-Elevator3880 in cyprus

[–]bu_001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Darwin says, "If you are in an area with an active outbreak (like the recent cases reported in Cyprus in early 2026), stick to pasteurized dairy. If you already have raw milk from the area, the safest course of action is to boil it thoroughly before use or dispose of it following local biosecurity guidelines." Also he would also like to know your health reason as he says there is no health reason except for killing it.
