Cyprus in Pictures - January, 2026

I doubt the plot of land for the new hotel will be the SODAP Beach Car Park. I know the land between there and Amphora Resort is empty, save for some newly planted trees by the coast path, so my guess would be there.

When the sea is rough you have to find other ways to get reflection shots.

Whenever gales appear in Cyprus, the topic of Coptic Storms inevitably surfaces. There is a calendar which predicts their arrival each year. If it is accurate, it gets credited with predicting it. But when it is completely wrong, it doesn't get mentioned. It is fun to argue about this on Social Media. Fair play, in January it was accurate. Mind you, predicting storms in January is hardly difficult. We will be monitoring the calendar over the coming year though, to see how it stands up over a longer period of time...

The presence or absence of the sea wall also gets mentioned every time there is a storm. Half of the small beach has a tendancy of ending up on the boardwalk, and calls for the wall to be returned resurfaced. However, the wall doesn't sop everything. If you walked from here to the harbour you would see that seaweed had been washed over the remaining wall.
Having said that, I barely notice the wall when I look out to sea from this area, so I don't see how extending it again would cause an issue.

The entire boardwalk got a bit of a battering.

The pictures here are now viewable in their original Landscape glory. So take a look at a selection of pictures we feel summarises how December has been in our corner of Cyprus.

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.
