Therefore, it can be handy to write down your address when you arrive in case you have to call for help. If something happened at home rather than call the ambulance I would likely go across the street to where the fire department is and ask for assistance from the paramedic and/or have them call the ambulance for me. Therefore, if you have a chance keep your eyes open for any police or fire stations or hospitals that might be conveniently located near where you are staying.

Cheap Cellphone Calls
When in Cyprus, consider getting a pay card for your cellphone, called "soeasy", the charges are the lowest in Europe. If you use telephone more than very little and if your stay is more than a week, it may be cheaper to use your cellphone with the local card than the hotel's services. SMS cost around 0.02 euro each.
