2018 In Pictures
Welcome to OldPafos.com!
At the end of October we launched our second new site of the year. OldPafos.com is a virtual tour of Pafos Old Town. You can wander through over 300 panoramic pictures, allowing you to explore every nook and cranny. There is also a business directory listing shops, hotels and restaurants. We are pleased with how the site turned out, and are planning similar sites in the future...
Simou Church
Simou Church was a real find. Normally locked, we visited the square for lunch one sunday, to find them setting up for a christening. The church was open so we popped in with the cameras. The results were spectacular.
Peyia Market
My wife, Alex, is taking a more prominent role on Paphos Life in the new year. She will be producing a lifestyle section packed with articles you will find useful and entertaining. She dipped her toe in the water with this blog though, and in the words of the late, great, Brucie, didn't she do well?
Mall Christmas Decorations
Unlike other countries, Cyprus doesn't put Christmas Decorations up in September. The first to appear here arrived in the Mall, towards the end of November. They were stunning.
The Art Nest
This was my favourite blog of the year, though neither it nor the accompanying video do the place justice. Cypriot Artist, Philippos Yiapanis, has created a masterpiece, and we were very privileged to be given a tour, thanks to the good people of Chakra Gallery. I'm not a particularly artistic person, but I was astonished at the sheer quality of the place. Art was everywhere, and it was glorious. If you haven't yet viewed the blog, do so now. You won't regret it.

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.
