Polis Beach
Now
We were therefore very pleased to see it looking so beach-like, when we visited. For want of a better word.
Troubled Past
The municipality has done a tremendous job in recovering it from this state. It is a stark reminder of just how much rain we had over the winter though. I think Cyprus narrowly avoided a natural disaster which most of the population didn't even notice. Cyprus often gets criticised for the slow speed with which things happen here (bizarre really, when you consider that "slower pace of life" is one of the big draws), but we have nothing but praise for the way the various roads and embankments have been repaired since the flooding. And it is still ongoing. Driving through the valleys we are continually using roads which up until a few weeks ago had been washed away or buried in landslides.
Stepping Stones
Here you can see the stepping stones in action. However, I want to point out the sign to the left of the blue flag.
Wonky
This is the same sign, a few months ago.
Parking Spots?
I have no idea what these stone lines are here for. Possibly some kids game, or perhaps sibling rivalry? I could imagine a child building their own private area only to have their brother build one right next to it just to annoy them.

Spring is in The Air!
Yesterday we took a walk out across the Akamas, above Avakas Gorge (which deserves a blog article of its own). Spring was definitely in the air, and the flowers were blooming. We took a few shots to share.
From Polis to Limni Pier
While the weather isn't quite what we would like yet, you can still have fun on an afternoon stroll. Today we visit the area between Polis Municipal Beach and Limni Pier. How does it look now that Spring is here?Related Pages

Polis Beach took a bit of a battering over the winter months. An unexpected river came for a visit, and left it in a bit of a state. We were curious to see if it was once again beach fit...

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.
