ohhh come on we allready know Greeks are cooks

@varoshah Two wrongs dont make a right we Greeks should show to the world we are not uncivilized people and have honor through our dealings with foregieners.We shouldnt catergorize all Britts with those Britts who bought stolen land on the Turkish side.I look at this whole thing as a bad reflection on us Greeks who are honest.

[kyriacos40]

I like to tell the British people to, not all Greeks or Greek Cypriots are like this.I think it is very disgraceful and low class to steal and be a thief.Greeks had land stolen from them by Turks through invasions,so if anybody knows how it feels to be robbed it is the Greek.I would think those Greeks and Greek Cypriots who stole from the Britts with crooked land deals have no honer in my eyes,because it is something that a Turk would do.There is no honor in being a thief (droope sou)ShameonU

I would never buy anything with out a deed ,and I would never trust the word of no one period.I would make sure even with a deed that there are no leans or loans against the property.I cant figure out why these people allowed such a thing to happen to them.I think its wrong to scam people no matter what nationality they are or indifference you have towards there country.Cant blame all Brittish people for there governments past wrongs or for a few Britts illegly buying on the Turkish the side .

move to the turkish side....they're not as business savy / smart as the greek crooks

There is no point moving to cyprus for very little money working 6-7 days a week when the pay is not relative to living costs its as simple as that. HAVE YOUR OWN BUISNESS find a high paid job for 4-5 days a week or dont move here. otherwise there is no point. this seems basic but so many people do not think about work they think 'oh there will be somthing'

[lukec21]

I would urge noone to move here unless you are doing somthing in cyprus that is speciffically cypriot or depends on the sun. for example a young persons summer job (waterpark) you cant do that in england.or older a jetski beach buisness you cant do that in england somthing that really justifys living in cyprus.

and are competing with eastern europeans which are willing to work for very little.3.00 euros an hour If you can avoid these working hours and are able to be paid more money or setup your own buisness you may be onto a winner.

[lukec21]

I would recomend staying in england where you will earn more money, and by all means come over for a 2-3 week holiday in the summer. I have heard about alot of jobs and done many myself and it is standard to work 6-7 days a week so by the end of the summer you will have most probably only had 2-21/2 weeks to enjoy the island.

As for property they take the mick out of english coming over, it seems lovely when your staying in a hotel but these people are constantly preassured and constantly watched on a daily basis to smile and to be nice to you in order to keep there jobs.The wages are very low and it is definitely not relative to living costs.
