Let's Hear It For Paphos Beaches!
Paphos is not so famed for its beaches as the Eastern coast. However, it still has plenty of blue flags to shout about. So in August we decided to visit them all. We also created our beaches directory, which has since expanded to include non-Blue Flag beaches and now has nearly 40 entries, with more to come. Read The Blog
Gruesome Viewing
There are church murals and there are church murals. The ones in this particular church are unusual however, in that they depict some truly horrific scenes. You will have to go on a bit of an adventure to find this location, but it is worth the trek. Just make sure you haven't recently eaten first.
Ayios Ioannis

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.
