Google Earth for an idea and e-mail the Hive for details.
It was like that when I got here.

Go on facebook and there is a page called married quarters r us which will be useful for pics etc.
Lionheart estate is nice.If it sounds like a good idea - do it. It's easier to apologise than it is to get permission.
If you're not confused you're not paying enough attention

Just make sure you don't wear white trainers to the mess.

Looks like you've got yourself a plum posting. Driven thru looks nice, My cousin used to skydive out there with the mil so I know its good for that

I stayed there for a week with a mate about 10 yrs ago. I've been led to believe, although it is generalistic, that the HQ and formation quarters are a bit better than those put-aside for the resident Inf Bn.
My mate had a 3 bed detached. The garden had a covered yard with a fridge-freezer outside for the beer. I found it odd that he permanently had the shutters closed to keep the house cool and the lack of carpets reminded me of being in an holiday apartment
Nice pizza place and the Sgt's Mess does a cracking Sunday lunch.
Do the 'big' shopping at Orphanides in Limassol. Huge supermarket with cheap beer, meat & fish
