The Sodap Beach Cafe
To The Beach
Now that we have seen the top floor of the cafe, let's go down to the beach.
Sea Front Walk
I love the path that goes all the way from Geroskipou to Paphos Castle. One day I will follow it in the other direction, towards Coral Bay. I am not sure how far it goes, but it will be a fun walk.
COVID And Accessibility
This wheelchair is a welcome addition to the beach. I remember seeing an old gentleman use one up at the beach near Latchi. The look of utter joy and pleasure he had on his face when he was able to get into the water was an image I will remember for a long time.
Incidentally, sunbeds are the same €2.50 you get charged pretty much all over the island.
Lower Level
And as you can see, the access to the beach is also wheelchair friendly.

Looking at this picture, I can't help wonder if part of the reason for the design is to protect the structure from the winter storms. As we have shown in the past, the Paphos Coast can take a bit of a battering during the winter. They will obviously have packed away the chairs, tables and parasols. But what about that tree, or the patterned roof? Time will tell...

Sodap Beach Update
There was recently a bit of a kerfuffle in the press about the new cafe that is being built at the SODAP beach in Paphos. We couldn't help notice that the pictures used all showed the beach from one angle. So we took a New Year's Eve trip down to the coast, to get a clearer picture. Now you can judge for yourself just how much of an encroachment this cafe will be.
Paphos Beaches
Cyprus is beginning to open again, and so are its beaches. How are they going to cope with social distancing on the sunbeds and the surrounding restaurants? We went out to explore the blue flag beaches that Paphos has to offer, to see what the score was. In Part 1 we go from Geroskipou to the main municipal beach...Related Pages

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.
