  And it's no ordinary business directory as your listing will appear as a web page on the site (see an example here) which you can then use to drive potential customers towards - great for small businesses like mobile hairdressers, who don't have their own websites. You can also add ONE picture to your web page listing - a great way for customers to SEE what you offer.

  The only condition for your free listing is that you must write a MINIMUM of 300 words to tell people about your business. Why? Because potential customers will think far more about using your business if you tell them a bit about what you offer.

  In addition, if you already have a website and/or want to add up to 3 MORE pictures, you can pay a small ONE-TIME only fee of just €10 EUROS for a PERMANENT link to your website or Facebook page.

Latest Weather in Polis and Latchi

We've had some strange weather here in Cyprus as has the rest of Europe. We thought summer had arrived in early May when the temperatures shot up to 30 overnight. Then we had 6 days of rain with one seriously heavy thunderstorm. Weird, but I can safely say now that summer is here, even if we have some cloud cover today.
