Agios Georgios, Choulou
Greeter
As you enter, you are greeted with this mural to your right. Not sure who he is, if I had to guess I would say Moses, carrying the 10 commandments. That is purely a guess though.
The Rear Room
Let's start exploring from the back of the chapel. I will look at the pictures in a minute. First though, look at the candles on the left. There are three very long ones, with their bases wrapped in newspaper. This would suggest to me that they are held. I remember altar boys used to have candles in Catholic masses, which they held in front of the Priest as he read the Gospel. Do these have a similar purpose?
Icons
I often wonder what purpose these icons serve. Are they votive offerings? Or do they get hung up when there are services?
Old Murals
Moving forward we come across this mural. This is pretty well intact still. You can see it represents an angel, as there are a pair of wings behind the main body.
Saint George
This mural would appear to represent Saint George. There is a smaller version in front of it, too.

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.
