Archaeological Park Flowers
More Orchids
We haven't seen my favourite orchids yet though. That is the Cyprus Bee Orchid.
White Orchids
The Naked Men Orchids are also a bit of a sight. They shall be appearing soon enough though.
Windswept Sparrow
Alex didn't just photograph flowers. Some of the wildlife also came out to pose.
Stonechat(?) Eyeing Up A Caterpillar
Two for one here. You get a bird (which I thought was a skinny robin) AND a caterpillar. A few seconds later and she would have probably taken a picture of a slightly fatter bird.
Ferocious Killer Guard Cat
Now this cat I actually filmed. It was on guard outside the House of Dionysos when I saw it. It was incredibly tame. My 360 camera is normally on the end of a selfie stick, and I dangled it in front of the cat expecting it to either attack it or run away. Instead, it completely ignored it, and started licking its bottom. I will not be sharing the film, as we aren't that sort of website.
We will be publishing a lot of material about the Archaeological Park soon. We are in the process of assembling it all. You don't have to wait for that though to go and explore the park. In the course of our filming we've grown quite attached to the place, and I can quite happily spend many a morning or afternoon there just walking randomly through the ruins...

Spring is in The Air!
Yesterday we took a walk out across the Akamas, above Avakas Gorge (which deserves a blog article of its own). Spring was definitely in the air, and the flowers were blooming. We took a few shots to share.
Paphos Archaeological Park
When relatives visited us a few weeks ago, we took them to some of the local tourist must-see sites. A definite highpoint was the visit to the Archaeological Park. We were especially lucky because it was spring time and all the wild flowers were in bloom...Related Pages

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.
