The Gateways To Paphos Revisited
A while ago we published a blog showcasing the Ten Gateways To Paphos which were under construction at the time. Well, they have all been finished for some time now, so we thought we should take another look at them, to see what they look like when properly illuminated.
1. By The Motorway Roundabout
Once again, we have numbered the gateways, so you will be able to find them on the maps provided in this blog.
The Motorway Pi is the biggest of the gateways.
The Pi At Night
While it looks ok when illuminated, the Pi suffers from it's location at night. Owing to the business of the roundabout, it is surrounded by street lights. This makes the roundabout a lot safer, but unfortunately takes some of the effect away from the art installation. However, it is better to be safe than crash into an art installation.
02. From Debenhams to Geroskipou
This wasn't finished when we first visited, but now it is fully complete.
Illuminated Lighthouse
At night, you can clearly see the representation of Paphos Light House.
Gateway Locations
This is the first of two maps. If you want to visit them in order, head down Democracy Ave from the Motorway roundabout, and consult the map on the next page.

The Ten Gateways To Paphos
New art installations are being erected at the ten entrances to Paphos Town. The monuments have been designed by a group of Paphos architects and are made of concrete and corten weathering steel. They depict the letter 'P' (π) in Greek, the first letter of Paphos, and so have been crafted in this shape.Good Pages To Visit

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.
