2018 In Pictures
Paphos Switch On
In December the Christmas Lights were switched on in Old Pafos. We captured the occasion, and ate pancakes...
Oreites Wind Farm
This, personally, is my favourite picture of 2018. I love the way it looks almost like a painting, to me at least. It demonstrates that you don't necessarily need blue skies or a sunset to take a stunning picture. Cyprus is a beautiful country, especially when it has a lick of green to brighten it up. We may be wearing jumpers and Wellington Boots at the moment, but we get to see a beautiful Cyprus because of it.
Dam Busters
The winter rain had brought not only green to Cyprus, but also turned dried up streams into raging torrents. When this happens, there is only one sensible thing to do: build some dams.
However, we also saw a Skink. I have never seen one before, so I thought I would post the picture of the skink, rather than our rather spiffing dams.
From Simou To Polis
Our final blog of the year took in some stunning scenery. We live in a beautiful country and should treasure it and count our blessings.
So that was 2018. Didn't it just fly by? We missed out loads of blogs, but we couldn't cover them all in a summary.

Well, we blinked, and another year has flown by. Let's take a look back through a selection of the year's blogs and look at some of the highlights. Did you like the carnival? Were those caves a bit scary? Did the turtles look really cute on Lara beach? Did Cyprus throw up some stunning scenery for us all to enjoy? Oh yes...

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.
