Mavralis Picnic Site
The Site In 2020
Ok, so now we are viewing pictures I took in 2020. Looking at this shot, you can't really see much change.
Dirty Beach
Getting closer to the beach though, you can see that there is something amiss.
Not Nice
Here's another shot of Limni Pier. Compare it to the one on the previous page.
Mine Debris
I think you will agree that the authorities have done a terrific job of cleaning this mess up.
Paphos Forest View
In the final shot, taken last week, we have included the foothills of Paphos Forest in the background. There was a bad fire there six years ago. I think they had to use seawater to put the fire out, and as a result the vegetation is having a hard time of recovering. You might say they shouldn't have used seawater, but I am guessing it is better to sacrifice a corner of the forest rather than let a much greater area burn. Besides, six years ago, the reservoirs were pretty empty.
The above is purely speculation on my part, I have no idea how they actually put the fire out.
But I digress. I wanted to show you Mavralis Picnic Site, and the excellent job they have done in tidying the area up. Full marks to whoever is responsible.

Polis Beaches Part 1
We've already had a look at how the beaches and restaurants of Paphos and Ayia Napa are coping with the new norms of social distancing. It is time to turn our attention to the Polis coast, and take a look at what the situation is there. In Part 1 we go from Aphrodite's Baths to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 2
In this report we originally planned on showing you the beaches from Kato Pyrgos to Polis. However, there were so many that we have had to split it in two, so join us as we travel from Kato Pyrgos to the outskirts of Pomos. In our next blog we will continue the journey to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 3
In the final part of our look at the beaches along the north coast of Paphos, we travel from Pomos to Polis, finishing up with a slap-up meal at our favourite kebab joint. If you want quieter beaches in beautiful surroundings, then this area will not disappoint. We visited these beaches more times than was strictly necessary to make this blog, which shows that we have saved what we consider to be some of the best Paphos beaches to last.Related Pages
MapMavralis Picnic Site
Mavralis Picnic Site is a well-equipped area between Limni Pier and Argaka, on the North Coast of the Paphos District of Cyprus. Up until recently, the beach area had been blighted by residue from Limni Mine. This has recently been cleared away, so we went down to investigate.

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.
