Scenic Paphos
Fed up with driving down the B7 into Paphos? If you were to take a more scenic route, you might end up here...
Here I Am:
We are forever looking for interesting alternative routes to familiar journeys, and they don't come much better than this. We blogged about "Tsada The Scenic Way" a couple of years ago, and we are just as fond of the diversion now as we were then.
If you don't have a 4x4 but want to go exploring, this is the perfect journey for you. You will feel like you are off-roading, as the track winds you up the side of the hill towards Tsada. However, you never actually leave tarmac, with the exception of one very small and perfectly safe section.
There are also some interesting rock formations to observe along the way. And it was there that we placed this ball for the photograph.
As an added bonus, should you be visiting in springtime, the area will also have plenty of orchids for you to admire.

A few months ago we wrote a blog about a scenic route you can go from Paphos to Tsada. If you are afraid of off-roading but like exploring it is a fun route that doesn't stray from tarmac. A sort of on-road off road experience.
Blog ArticleTsada The Scenic Way
The usual way to get to Tsada from Paphos is to drive straight up the B7. Occasionally though, we prefer to take a scenic route. There are some nice rock formations along the way too, so we decided it would be a perfect candidate for a blog. It's also worth knowing that you don't have to rely on the B7 to get you up that hill!

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.
