Agios Georgios Inauguration
Published 31st of October, 2025
Main Stage
We sat for a while on one side, as we waited for the crowds to arrive. I was unhappy with the lighting here though, so I eventually moved to the other side.
There were official photographers there too, who were allowed to get a closeup of the Arch Bishop. This is one of their shots, from the press release.
Familiar Face
I recognised the first speaker as the Municipal Engineer, Mr Pantelis Pantelidis. I had interviewed him last year regarding the Coral Bay Strip upgrade.
On the table there were also three bouquets of flowers. The basil here is used (I believe) in the blessing ceremony.
I think the other two were gifts, and very pretty ones at that.

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.
