Coral Bay Strip Update - February 2024
Missing Supermarket
There used to be a supermarket there, but it looks like they are building something bigger now.
Pedestrianisation Puzzler
I had heard rumours that the Strip was going to be pedestrianised, so I put this to the Engineers. It turns out that this is not in fact the case. However, the pedestrian area and road will be on the same level, and be separated by bollards. This is like Paphos Seafront used to be.
End Of Phase 1
When we reached the end of the hardcore we could see why it was necessary. Beyond that the ground was much, much muddier. Eventually, in Phase 2, the hardcore will extend the whole length, and the road will be resurfaced.

Seriani
Another concern had been the fate of the restaurants on the Strip. A few of them are still open, and accessed from the rear. A lot of the others are having some off-season TLC of their own. Pantelis (Municipal engineer and the coordinator of the project) stated that the business owners were on-board with the project, which is good to know.
It was also re-iterated that the main body of the project is on schedule to finish by the end of April. Indeed, Demetris stressed that both Pantelis and the Mayor of Peyia were closely monitoring progress.

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.
