Pyla is unlike anywhere else covered on this site. It sits inside the United Nations buffer zone, it is the only village on the island where Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots have lived side by side throughout the division. And it borders the British base area at Dhekelia.
That position has practical consequences for a removal. Access arrangements are not identical to the rest of Larnaca district. And the trip a vehicle takes to reach a Pyla address is worth confirming before a delivery date is agreed rather than after.
The village itself divides between the old settlement on the hill and Pyla beach on the coast below, where much of the newer housing sits. Xylotymbou and Ormideia lie just east, inside the Dhekelia area.
Larnaca is about fifteen kilometres west and handles the day to day services. Goods from the UK clear at Limassol and come roughly 85 kilometres east, or a shorter distance if the sailing sailings through Larnaca.
Send your move details once instead of repeating them to a shortlist of companies.
The mover looks at the actual collection and delivery addresses, the volume and the sailing calendar.
Everything after the quote happens between you and the mover.
Household goods coming from Britain are declared as a third country import. Form Aπ. 2 claims relief on used personal property, and new items are listed separately because duty is payable on them.
The detailed conditions appear on the Cyprus customs and transfer of residence page. Always confirm the live position with the Department of Customs and Excise for the current position rather than a removals page.
A fair number of readers here are searching from outside the UK. Some ask for movers, some for a removal company, some for relocation services. The terms are interchangeable in practice.
Physical access in Pyla is not the difficulty. Roads in the village and down at the beach are adequate and most properties have somewhere for a vehicle to stop.
What needs settling in advance is the approach. A moving company that has worked the area will know which route to use and what, if any, notice is needed. One that has not may discover it on the morning, which costs a day.
Xylotymbou and Ormideia, the two villages inside the Dhekelia area to the east, sit under the same consideration. Neither is difficult, but neither is quite a standard Larnaca district delivery either.
Not physically. Roads in the village and at the beach are adequate and most properties have somewhere for a vehicle to stop. What matters is the approach route, which should be confirmed with the mover before a date is agreed.
It sits inside the United Nations buffer zone and borders the British base area at Dhekelia. It is the only village where Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot residents have lived side by side throughout the division.
Yes. Both sit inside the Dhekelia area east of Pyla and are served on the same route. Neither is difficult, but neither is quite a standard Larnaca district delivery, so the routing is confirmed in advance.
About 85 kilometres east of Limassol, or a shorter run if your sailing journeys through Larnaca instead. Larnaca city itself is roughly fifteen kilometres west of the village.
Yes, and specifically. A moving company that has worked this area knows the approach and any notice needed. One that has not may find out on the delivery morning, and that costs a day.
They are effectively two areas. The old settlement sits on the hill and much of the newer housing is down at the coast. Access is reasonable in both, but say which one you are in.
Start and finish addresses, your timing, and what is in the shipment. The mover looks at the real addresses, not a postcode, then quotes.
