I read today that the church in CY has now offered to help in the bailout by mortgaging a load of its properties, including the KEO brewey. Well, they've avoided paying tax there for over 50 years, so I guess it's about time they gave something back. Might be a glimmer at the end of the tunnel for them.

How are the businesses like the shops, restaurants and bars trading if the banks are shut and will be until next week, so nobody can get any money. Are they still able to use cards?

If Cyprus and Greece stopped breaking all their antiques they wouldn't be In this problem.

Pretty much business as usual. However a big increase of credit card use in most shops etc. Petrol pumps only taking cash though. Cash machines just about dry so we could see a few problems kicking in next week.

And those pictures of Protaras, and Fig Tree Bay as it once posted by SuperPhil show how beautiful it was before mass tourism spoilt it (IMO)
