Hunting The Bee Orchid
Cyprus is blessed with a variety of orchids which appear in the valleys and fields every spring. While not as exotic as some, they are nonetheless worth checking out if you are out getting some socially-distanced exercise. My favourite variety is the bee orchid, and last weekend we decided to go on a hunt for them.
To The Tulip Field!
Ok, so we are out looking for bee orchids. But we happen to live right next to Polemi's famous tulip field, so naturally had to check it out on our way to the Akamas.
Scientific Experiments
Last year when we reported on the tulips (we do this every year), we noted that a scientist had been performing experiments on the crop. These have come on apace now.
Not Tulips
I wonder what these are for?
Early Blooms
The tulips are certainly starting to flower now.
They are not yet at their peak though.

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.
