Please therefore ensure that the units are turned off when the
rooms are not in use or when you leave the villa.
To ensure maximum efficiency of the units, please close doors
and windows when the units are in use. Optimum temperature to
run the units at is 21 Degrees. Lower than this can cause water
condensation on the walls if the conditions are humid enough.
A surcharge may be applied if the air conditioning units are continually
left in operation whilst you are not in the property.
2. BATHROOM
The toilet system in Cyprus is NOT equipped for the disposal of
feminine hygiene products nor large items such as nappies, baby

Safety First
Most properties are equipped with fire extinguishers and first
aid kit. Note where these are and all exits in case of fire. Even
though Cyprus is considered a safe country…….
Please lock the property when out, and protect your valuables
at all times. If your property is equipped with a safe please
leave this unlocked and open on your departure.
For Aphrodite Hills clients – as the resort is built in
its natural environment please note that there are various indigenous
snakes that are seen from time to time. Please contact emergency
numbers in this instance. Do not attempt to handle the snake yourself.
On Arrival take a walk around to familiarize
yourself with the property and appliances.
Most apparatus like air con units have isolator switches with
a red light somewhere below the unit.
When AIR CONDITIONER units are on, the doors
must be closed for proper use and cooling of the room. Turn these
OFF when you go out. Set the temperature for 20-22 Celsius for
cooling, to set then lower will not cool the room more but may
cause overload, dripping or complete burn out. For the cooler
months they may be set to heat.
If Hot Water is required find the isolator switch
with red light. This is usually located in the corridor by the
bathroom light next to the bathroom door. Turn on 1 hour prior
to using the bath and then turn it off as thermostats do not operate
for prolonged periods.
NB: Please remember to switch these off on your departure.
If hot water operates from a diesel/oil burner, this will be turned
on prior to your arrival. Please do not re-programme the control
panel as this is automatic.
Living Room
Avoid sitting on the sofas with wet or sandy swimming costumes.
The TV, DVD and other items such as DVD’s and books are
for your use and the client’s to follow. Please DO NOT remove
any items from the property.
Do not burn any candles that are for decoration purposes. Some
properties are non smoking. Kindly smoke outside and use the ashtrays
provided.
Sky TV
Properties with Sky free to air package: Please note Cyprus is
at the edge of the satellite foot print and BBC1 & ITV are
not always clear and in some cases, completely available. Winds
and clouds are a further cause of distortion and regrettably this
out of our control.
Bedroom
Clean linen is already supplied and fitted.
You will find bath and hand towels. Please use your own beach
towels for your outing.
Kitchen
You will find utensils and equipment you need in various cupboards
and drawers.
When using the hob, turn on and use the extractor fan, by activating
an isolator switch with red light on the wall for proper ventilation.
At the end of your stay please empty the bins and dispose in the
community bins outside the villa.
Cook and bake carefully.
The BBQ’s operated by gas have an on/off switch on the gas
bottle itself, if no gas is coming out check to see this switch
is not in the off position.
An iron and ironing board are provided. Do not forget to turn
off the iron.
Please clean up unwanted food as pests like ants find food quickly.
Trash
Aphrodite Hills – At the gate entrance find double doors
built into the property wall.
Other Areas – Find large green bins usually on the roadside.
Outside
Please use beach towels on the sun loungers for hygienic reasons.
Please close umbrellas after use or if the wind picks up. Use
only plastic cups outside. Keep gates closed & supervise young
children.
Swimming Pool
It is a must to shower and remove suntan cream/oil and dirt from

Driving In Cyprus
Road signage is good and the motorway inter connecting cities
is excellent.
City and town driving: Trying to work out what the other driver
is going to do is the difficult part. Never pull out onto a road
until you see the oncoming traffic initiate their turn. Indicators
seem to be redundant for the better part in Cyprus. Ignore the
angry farmer hooting at you whilst you wait.
Roads in towns are narrow and parking is difficult.
Believe it or not: It is illegal to use cell phones whilst driving
even though most people have it locked to there ear.
As always, do not drink and drive. Police do run spot checks and
the laws are strict.
Speed limits on the motor way are controlled by hand held radar
guns. Police vehicles in Cyprus tend to drive around with their
blue flashing lights so don’t worry if one is behind you
(unless you have your phone in your hand, or you are traveling
at 130 kph). Plan your trips in advance and have your maps handy.
Petrol Stations
After hours they are self-service with cash or credit card. Please
read the instructions before operating. Most have a telephone
number in case of problems.
