Green Monday Fun
Lots of People
We were now passing lots of picnics and barbeques. There were many kites in the air.
Multicolour Kites
It's difficult to photograph a lot of kites, so I had to settle for a few of them. I admit, they were more colourful than our kite, but it flew dammit! It flew!
Busy Beach
I do hope everybody takes their rubbish home with them though. It would kind of defeat the purpose of Green Monday if it resulted in a mess.
Yeronisos Island Again
The seas themselves were fairly choppy. Perfect kite flying weather though.
Cars Everywhere
Green Monday was a lot of fun, and as we drove into Paphos, we saw more and more kites and picnics along the way. It seemed half of Cyprus had come out for a picnic.
We ate in Paphos, and headed back to Polemi via Foinikas and the Ezousa Valley. We had our GoPro with us, and if the coverage looks ok I may put some of it on youtube. If I do I will post the clips on our forum and Facebook Chat Group, Paphos Chat. Click here to join that.
That's enough from me for a while. Two blogs (one huge) in two days must mean you are sick of my prose. So I am taking a short break. Don't worry though, in a few days we will post another guest blog from Max, who wants to take you on a tour of some crystals...

Akamas Vertigo
For a while now we have been meaning to place another geocache in the Akamas. We first checked out the location, above Avakas Gorge, last summer. We went back a few months later to check the coordinates, and now, finally, the cache is live. While we were doing this, I naturally took some pictures...
The Akamas By Car
Nothing beats exploring the Akamas by car. A decent 4x4 can take you to places you would never normally find on foot, and the aircon can be a real life-saver. Some routes into the Akamas are bumpier than others. In this blog take a relatively bump free route which would suite the more cautious amongst you.
The Far Side of the Akamas
Last October when I had the weekend to myself, I resolved to do a geocache that had eluded me up until now, due to it's remoteness. Given that people were interested in the Akamas Church blog I posted a while back, I thought I would turn the photos I took into another blog...
Sparti Adventure Park
We have driven past Sparti Adventure Park in previous visits to Paphos Forest and the Troodos. However, we normally have another destination in mind, so have never paid it a visit until now. Last sunday, some Cypriot friends invited us along and we jumped at the chance. It is a fair drive from Paphos, but the scenery along the way is beautiful, and you will be driving on regular roads, so any rental car will be fine. We cut through Paphos Forest in our 4x4, but that is the subject of another blog!
Akamas Sunshine
The sun shone brightly this morning, so we took the opportunity to go for a drive on the Akamas. There's been a lot of rain, but as a result of this, the Akamas is looking gorgeous at the moment...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.
