No you don't feel pushed to tip like most places.

Haggling is part of the hols isn't it????

We found the duty free shop in the airport well stocked and quite reasonable.
Not sure about the allowance on booze but leaflets stating your allowance in the duty free shop

right ..with regards to the haggling...when you go into shops everything IS priced isn't it....we've spent the last three years in sharm where you HAVE to haggle for everything and NOTHING is priced..there is no such thing as window shopping there....and i'd like to spend a little time loooking without feeling under pressure to buy!!

roughly how much does a meal out cost...really just a main meal plus drink. we are going B&B..so this will help me decide how much money to take.

can you drink the water...or is bottled water a must.

is it one of these places that are overrun with stray dogs??..i can cope with cats but i'm a bit warey of stray dogs.

how bad are the timeshare touts....i've now read on another forum that they can be a bit of a pest.

Hi dottie
hope this answers some of your questions.

The stuff in the shop is priced but in the market we haggled to get better prices,
We had a three course meal and drinks in Fat Mammas where the portions are huge and it came to about £55 for the 3 of us, there are a lot of places to eat on that strip or in Paphos harbour , We only eat out the once cos we were AI, hopefully someone will be able to help you on that one.
Stray dogs didn't see any... saw a few cats.

They say you can drink the water but avoid if you have a sensitive tummy, So we drank bottled water.
Although I must say this year I cleaned my teeth using the water and had no adverse reaction (normally use bottled water for this)

Only saw one tout and he was a bit pushy, but told him no and just walked away, if you stop for them they think you are an easy target I've always found.
any thing else don't hestitat to ask.
