Old Paphos in 2021 - Part 4
Nice!
Isn't that spectacular? Full marks to whoever designed that.
To Kennedy Square
And so, inevitably we come to Kennedy Square. It is right up there.
Where is the Cat?
This is a puzzle. Occasionally people ask on our Paphos Chat facebook group, for cheap hotels and hostels. So when I saw this sign I thought it worth making a note of. However, when I looked them up on Facebook, they were in fact shown as being a few streets up from here. I shall highlight their location according to their facebook page, when we go near it. This will be in the next chapter of the tour.
Kennedy Square
And here we are in Kennedy Square. Lots of outdoor dining area is available. I took these pictures on a mid Wednesday afternoon, so it is fairly empty at the moment. Later in the day, or at lunch time, it will be busier.
The last time I was here for an event was the Christmas before last, when they switched on the Christmas lights. That was a different world. The place was packed, with not a mask in sight. Those days cannot return soon enough.
Kennedy Square Fountain
Another nocturnal spectacle is the fountain in front of the Old Police Station. You can't make it out in this picture, but it is just to the left of the traffic lights. At night when illuminated, it is a thing of serious beauty.

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.
