The nearest one that I know of is:

Down to the t-junction where the lights are (Coco Cola building up front and slightly to the right), turn left at these lights then turn right immediately before the pedestrian crossing.

The Post office is just a few hundred metres up on your right hand side

KAR a parcel company will not deliver to a PO box, you have to collect from their depot, at least DHL and TNT will not deliver, they will leave a card there.

For the Engomi post office, and that is the one spoken of here near the Metahan crossing, the address will be:

PO Box ?????
Engomi
Nicosia 2433
Cyprus

Some parcels can be collected from there through regular post, others have arrived at the parcel depot that is next to the customs office in another area, and if DHL you have to go to their office. Parcels from EU not a problem whatever the value, parcels from outside EU and with a stated value of US$17 approx or over, or they are suspicious of being over, then you have to go to the customs office and pay duty and ideally take a purchase receipt otherwise they will make it up.

So where do people collect parcels from if they are left a card in their PO Box - for DHL and TNT ? I am expecting 1 from TNT - they didn't say they wouldn't deliver to a PO Box and that is where the parcel is addressed to ? I think i know where DHL office is - near the old Orphanides mall is that correct ?.
Thanks

I was overcome by curiosity and had a look on Google Maps, and found that the road through the industrial area near 'Orphanides' is called 'Vithleem' in Greek - 'Bethlehem' in English, so that does tie up with the address given...

Kieth, DHL is in the same area we collect our large parcels from there.
Turn right at the Orphanides lights take the left turn after the old Orphanides turning.
