St Nicholas Chapel Area
Published 9th of May, 2023
Nearly 10 Years Old
A plaque outside states the age of the church and who paid for it.
Lookout Spot
There are many places that could lay claim to the Sunset Point of Cyprus. In fact, most of Paphos would fit that description!
External Shrine
Next to the chapel is a tiny room where you can leave a prayer candle. I should stress that if you are visiting the chapel, please dress respectfully. I don't mean wear a dinner jacket, but don't turn up bare chested or in your swimming costume. Otherwise you are being very rude.
Louis Phaethon Water Park
between the chapel and the Louis Phaethon there are some archaeological relics. Let's go and take a quick look.
Future Prospects?
The land these ruins are on is, I believe, destined to have a hotel built on it. The question is, can any of the ruins be preserved or even turned into a feature of the hotel?

Paphos doesn't have much of a reputation for the seaside, but there are in fact 17 Blue Flag Beaches in the region. We've put them all in an easy-to-use directory, and we present them here for your delectation, so you can see for yourselves that Paphos Beaches are in fact, not shabby at all.
Riccos Beach Area
The other day I went out to photograph some of the beaches around Paphos. We have a beaches directory and I figured it needed some more up-to-date images. However, it soon became apparent that the beaches are still getting prepared for the Summer Season. So while the pictures I took won't be suitable for the directory, I thought you might like to see what's occurring. In this article, we take a look at Riccos Beach Area, in Geroskipou.

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.
