A New Paphos Park Is Being Created
It was announced some time ago that various new parks were being built around Paphos. One of them is behind the main Papantoniou's Supermarket in the heart of Paphos. Today I was down there buying cat food, so I had a nose around to see how they were getting on...
View From Above

I first noticed that progress had been made when I was looking at a satellite image of the area using Google Maps. I had been uploading images to Google Street View and was checking up on their somewhat haphazard progress. I noticed that these round structures had appeared, and they looked suitably mysterious. So I resolved to check it out next time I was in town.
Back Of Paps

Our four rescued kittens are now cats, and need food. So I came to Paps to get some. Once back at the car, I drove to the rear of the supermarket and had a look around. This is the view back to the road.
Building Site

Directly in front of me was this building site. There was an interesting windmill on the other side, and a portaloo, but that was about it. If you are a regular visitor to the Eastern side of the island, you wouldn't find the windmill that interesting, as they are all over the place around Ayia Napa and Protaras. But on the West they are something of a novelty.
Behind Paps

I was tempted to enter the building site, as it appeared to be more of a carpark than anything else. But one of the many signs said No Entry, so I decided to wander down to the back of Paps instead.
New Landscape

Looking over the wall that runs around Paps, I could see that work was definitely progressing. This is going to look nice!

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.
