Brothel in Yeroskipous

[Admin]

Brothels have always been in Pafos and all large towns and cities on Cyprus, nothing new I'm afraid.

[Pickles]

If you're that appalled why not report it yourself? I wouldn't be surprised if their clientele didn't number certain members of the local constabulary though so little would be done! Plenty of them around but usually very discreet, after all it is the oldest profession isn't it?!!

[lewisestwo]

It beggars the question.......How do you know it's a brothel????????

[RedWoody]

I often see enough of them in there...

I think the answer is in the OP Lewisestwo!!!!

Thanks for the tip-off Paul, but unfortunately not my kind of woman!

Do you have the phone number?

[Anarita John]

Thanks for the info. A bit nearer to me than a certain hotel.

[Jeffbinin]

Brothels are everywhere. There was one in Chlorakas until last year - opposite side of the road to the Community Board, with a pool table outside. Also the property next to the S300 Merlin bar (near Lidl) was a knocking shop for many years, or so a friend tells me....

At least it stops street walkers in red light districts trying to lure men to have sex with them. Makes sense to me.

Good advert for the "business" Paul. Not a betting man myself but suspect there may be a large queue next time with guys having a flutter (A condition of nervous excitement)

Yes a few years ago went in the "s300" bar for a burger and chips takeaway, we were told the kitchen was shut , but there was plenty of "fresh meat " available. had a good giggle afterwards

[neildh]

Not from experience, but is there not a certain hotel along TOTK road that had or has a similar reputation. Got a big concrete roman soldier stood out side

[tonee]

Do they do 2 for 1 offers?

[Pickles]

Don't forget the infamous Black Beauty 'bar' that used to be in Chlorakas!!!

[Memory man]

I know it can be funny to read about this kind of thing...whoever started this thread has just done some free advertising for them,IF the place referred to in Yeroskipou is REALLY what is alleged??and how does he know that anyway?Actually the authorities here do not condone this kind of activity and shut-down such places once they become known to them.The kind of people who operate them are usually low-life characters who have no respect for women are are often also involved in other shady activities with links to organised crime etc.The former S 300 owner was a notorious example,who a close friend of mine in the Immigration dept told me had even sold his own Russian wife to people who paid him enough money!!
Behind this business are usually desperately unhappy and often abused women who may well have been coerced into it for one reason or another,often by men and we would do well to remember this when we try to make a joke about the subject......everyone of them is someones daughter or mother etc...

Wise words as always, Martin

An excellent post cymart. Modern slavery is becoming a huge problem in the UK and worldwide, so much so it was featured on a radio programme on Radio Manchester with a police officer asking for help from the public in uncovering it. Many of these victims are forced to work in the sex industry. Their passports are taken from them, and threats are made against family members in their home country..

[juliesewell]

Wonder if it's been reviewed on TripAdvisor?

[Lofos-5]

Germany and Switzerland legally allow it and raise taxes from it

In Zurich we even have drive through brothels!

This business can only exist while there is a demand for it....in Sweden for example,they criminalise the people who try to buy these services more than those who offer them.Whether this is the answer or not it's hard to say.Going back to ancient Greece, it was considered a respectable profession and the women involved in it were treated very well in society and it certainly bore no resemblance to the modern slave trade which is often the reality of today.
In Cyprus until a few decades ago there were certain 'houses' in every town which everyone knew about, 'nudge nudge wink wink etc!' or certain streets, where this activity took place and they were about the only outlets for men to go to in what was a very conservative society where such things were not openly discussed and women were expected to be respectable and do everything to uphold their good reputation,or woe betide them at the hands of their fathers,brothers,cousins etc!
Most of the women who were involved in this 'business' in those days were Cypriot,both Greek and Turkish and in most cases had a very sad story to tell about their lives and why they ended up this way,usually because of men,it has to be said,who deceived and abused them in one way or another.Some years ago a few of them spoke out in press interviews and even on t.v. in one case and it was very poignant to read and watch for anyone with any sensitivity and decency...
The boom of the so-called cabarets gradually led to the closure of the older places as the women retired and Cypriots had more money to buy the company of younger and more desirable women from the Phillipines and Thailand etc. until the early 1990's when the end of the Ceausescu regime in Romania enabled women from there to go abroad and the chance to escape from what was a desperate and broken country hoping to earn money to start a better life.They were easy pickings for the criminal rings involved in the cabaret trade and were soon supplimented by others from former Communists countries such as Bulgaria,Ukraine and Moldova etc. where conditions were equally desperate-and often still are- and provided plenty of 'meat for the trade' etc.
Cyprus earned an unenviable reputation internationally as a place where human trafficking was rife until the outcry forced the authorities to revoke most of the visas for so-called 'artistes' who came to work in the night clubs, some years ago.This is why many of them closed down....there were once around 20 in Paphos,for example,while now there are only a few and they tend to be more like real night clubs with Greek music and shows etc.Of course this does not mean the trade has stopped completely and apart from the dodgy looking pubs with "boarded' up windows which come and go,there are also many private flats which advertise massage in the press,usually with grls from Greece,Bulgaria etc. and even China, which also come and go as the police get tipped-off and raid them!In evitably there is someone behind the 'business' as there usually is with this kind of occupation and this is another reason why they are trying to stamp it out because there are unsavoury people and criminals involved who have connections with other very undesirable activities of every kind!Even so it is very difficult to eradicate it because new places open up continuously and avertise with different numbers.....in larger cities such as Limassol and Nicosia with a big population the situation is even worse(and of course the demand is greater!)It is illegal to profit from such activities in Cyprus or live-off such earnings fom another person so this gives legal cover to the authorities in the efforts to counter it.
Not that it excuses it here, but the situation in northern Cyprus is far worse for the girls who are involved -many are enslaved and have no means of escape from the criminal gangs which operate it.Being a non-recognised country makes it an ideal location for all kinds of criminal dealings and mnay Turkish Cyprots have been protesting about it for years,although the very lucrative earnings from the 'tax' they pay to the authorities has until very recently prevented anything being done about it.Last week though the Turkish Cypriot mayor of Nicosia declared he will refuse to renew the licences for any so-called Night clubs and bars in his municipality,which is a start.
As a final comment,equally reprehensible are the not inconsiderable number of Greek-Cypriot men who regularly cross over to the north to visit these places knowing that their prices are much cheaper than on this side!!
I think enough said on the subject for now.

Supply and demand ..

[tonee]

Phedonas the Paphos Mayor stated that he wants to make Paphos "legal".Authorities know where these places exist,so lets see him close these places down in the same manner that authorities made them terrible premises permitting BINGO to be played!

[cymart1]

Closing down the bingo places has been criticised by many people...they were one of the few places where anyone could gather for a social occasion and also maybe win a small prize if they were lucky,unlike the on-line gambling joints which were full of addicted Cypriots with serious gambling habits and often destroyed families.Of course illegal gambling--and other sleazy activities are still going on,if the report about the betting shop in Yeroskipou is true which started this thread???
By the way,in ancient times it was the tradition in Yeroskipou for the girls there to offer themselves to visiting men as a symbol of hospitality-and also because the locals thought it was unlucky for their men to deflower them!But I doubt if this place referred to in the thread had this in mind when they opened for business???
