2018 In Pictures
Ayia Napa
August also saw us having it large in Ayia Napa. Most of the pictures I took here were posted on our Cyprus Panoramas site, as they don't really come under the remit of Paphos. However, I did do this blog summarising some of the lovely places we visited. Looking forward to going back next summer.
Souskiou Cemetery
Archaeology abounds in Cyprus. The mosaics are well worth your time, as are Tomb of the Kings etc. However, occasionally it is nice to get out and experience some archaeology in the wild. There are many places listed in numerous blogs we have visited, but this one was rather special, as it was the site of an old dig in a gorgeous location. Philistine that I am though, I was most impressed with this little wasps nest which as far as I am concerned, tells us that Mother Nature loves Heavy Metal.
A Tale of Two Dog Beaches
Having been blown away by the Paralimni Dog Beach, I thought I would compare it to the dog beaches in Paphos. Paphos did not come out well...
Paphos Forest Mine
This is another favourite location of mine. It is just a shame that it is so difficult to get to. In September we revisited the old mine, having first visited it in 2017. Unfortunately, in the intervening months, they had blocked the road off. They had also done a good job of blocking off all the side roads too. So if you want to visit, prepare for a bit of a hike too.
Kissonerga Mosfilia
I was surprised how popular this blog was. We only popped in to see the settlement on the off-chance, as we were passing. I think it is because it is so local, and yet quite remote. People like reading about these hidden treasures on their doorsteps.

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.
