Old Paphos in 2021 - Part 2
Back To The Car Parks
Turning left again, we are now heading back to the carparks. There is quite a lot of development being undertaken here at the moment. To our right there used to be a small courtyard. I could no longer see it, so I presume it has been converted. I wonder what it is now? There were some nice murals on the wall in there.
Quality Kebabs
I've had a kebab from this place on numerous occasions, and cannot recommend them highly enough. Cyprus kebabs are a completely different experience from the ones you get served in the UK. They are a lot more healthy, for a start, and infinitely more tasty. If you are used to smothering your kebab in chilli sauce and mayonnaise, then you may be in for a bit of a shock. The default setting for kebab goodness in Cyprus is nothing but meat, salad, and a generous squadge of lemon juice. This took me a while of getting used to, but they taste so nice on their own that they really don't need loads of sauce on top. I do however like some for the chips I invariably order at the same time.
Oh and the meat is proper meat. None of that minced nonsense you find in doners that, let's face it, only tastes nice after a belly full of alcohol. These kebabs are best enjoyed sober, so you can fully appreciate their quality.
Now I am really hungry.
More Traditional Shops
As I pointed out in the first part of this tour. A lot of the old businesses of Old Town are still here, alive and kicking. They just have swanky new fronts now.
Great Advert
This is more of an advert than a mural, in that is painted on the side of a shop that sells tyres. It is very impressive though. I remember when they were painting it. As luck would have it, the one-way system through Old Town was closed, and all traffic was diverted down this road. There were traffic lights in operation, so we would get to sit in a queue watching them paint this.
Back To The Mosque
We have now returned to the mosque, and are walking up the new road I showed you previously.
