Droushia Blossom
We went to the coast near Polis a few days ago for a chilly dip. We took a scenic route back through Droushia, and stopped to enjoy the view. We couldn't help but notice the spring flowers, and blossom in the trees, and fortunately Alex had her camera...
The Road From Droushia
We have always liked Droushia. There is something a little bit magical about the village. Perhaps it is because the roads seem to change each time we visit? Or perhaps it is the surrounding countryside, which possesses a unique quality somehow slightly different from the rest of Cyprus? It is certainly a great place to go if we are ever feeling homesick for the old country, as its landscape reminds us of parts of the British countryside.
Spring Blossom
The almond blossom is arriving early this year, thanks to a very mild winter.
Low Cloud
This is what I mean about reminding us of the British Countryside. This could very easily be somewhere in Dartmoor, with the low cloud scudding in from the sea.
Daisy, Daisy
As I mentioned in the intro, Alex is taking all the pictures for this blog. So expect plenty of flowers and close-ups.
To The Helmet
I spent most of my time sat to the left of this shot, planning more ace content for the website. We have written over 350 blogs on Paphos now, and are running out of new places to go. Indeed, this isn't the first time we have mentioned these rocks. However, rather than just stop, we plan to revisit a lot of our favourite haunts, and take the drone with us to get a different point of view. We are now officially licensed to fly the thing (new laws came in on Jan 1st) but I will wait until the lockdown is over before I do any more of that.

Droushia Lowlands
Droushia is a village of many charms, and recent roadworks. There is an abandoned village nearby too, which we set out to explore for this blog. Rather typically, we got distracted along the way, so today we bring you a report on what lies in the countryside below.
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.
Cyprus Orchids
If you only visit in the heat of summer, you could be forgiven for thinking that a lot of Cyprus is like a desert; brown and arid. However, the truth is somewhat different. During Spring, most of Cyprus is green, as recent blogs will have shown. Not only that, but spring flowers come out to bloom, painting the hills and valleys with a sea of colour. If you are lucky, or you know where to look, you will also come across fields of orchids...
Kato Paphos In Springtime.
We have visitors at the moment, so have been showing them the sights. In between times I have taken the occasional photo, which put together paints a nice picture of Kato Paphos in the Springtime.

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.
