Paphos Archaeological Park
Published 25th of February, 2020
Inside The House of Dionysos
You may have noticed that we spell "Dionysos" differently to the sing outside. This is because the signs inside spell it with two Os. It turns out that both spellings are correct, so don't let it bother you.
As you can see, there are plenty of walkways which let you see the mosaics without trampling over them.
Sample Mosaic
We cover all the mosaics and their back stories in a separate blog, so this is just a taster.
Distant Lighthouse
Once we have seen the mosaics, we head up to the lighthouse.
Viewpoint
There are three of these viewpoints dotted around the park. They provide great photo opportunities and outstanding panoramas of the surrounding area.
Viewpoint #2
On the other side of the lighthouse you come to the next viewpoint. According to google, the official name of this is "Fanari Hill Panoramic Viewing Platform". So wipe your feet.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
