Look I have lived here for five years but I work for a property company...so i know a little from clients everydays experiences. Alot of people use orbit shipping. My father shipped last year a whole containers worth and it didn't cost him really all that much. The advantage was that they also packed his stuff up for him in the UK and then unpacked it for him here in paphos. We have some properties for sale up here where I live and as of Febuary they are offereing a free car along with the house which to be honest is good as cars don't come that cheap here. Look me up.....Vikla Village Tsada....I work in the clubhouse as a PR. When you get here and maybe I can help out as I know quite a few people. The best schools if your kids do not speak any greek are the International or the American acadamy.....both are good schools. Any more info lolly just ask

We came here 18 months ago and got three quotes from Intenational removals. They were all much the same! We chose Pickfords.
We paid £4,500 for a full 20ft container including insurance. All goods were packed by the company and were unpacked here by their agents who were Orbit. We had two very expensive items which pushed up the price a bit as they had to have wooden crates built round them and insurance was extra. Everything arrived intact and the unpackers were great!
Hope this helps!

I am moving this to the expats section where hopefully you will get more responses.
