Old Paphos in 2021 - Part 7
The Small Chapel
Cyprus is full of little chapels.
The Mosaic
'A Day In Kyrenia', By the children of Paphos
An artwork from the bi-communal prject 'Common Ground'
During the project Common Ground (2016) the children created two public artworks using the Cypriot technique of cementography. the project's main theme was 'Exchange'. During a series of workshops the children from Paphos and Kyrenia exchanged drawings, stones and earth from their towns. the artwork crweated in Paphos was created using the stones, earth and drawings from the children of Kyrenia and the artwork in Kyrenia was created using the stones, earth and drawings from the children of Paphos. A part of Paphos will now remain in Kyrenia and a part of Kyrenia will remain in Paphos throuhg the two finished public artworks.
Common Ground Team: Miriam McConnon (project coordinator), Bahar Chirali, tereza Markidou, Sulvia Nicolaides, Nicholas Iordanou, Linda Asurfuoglu.

The Patchwork Tree
We are going to go past the Patchwork Tree. Do you remember when we visited Ibrahim's Khan? There was a Dream Catcher Art Exhibit by one of the entrances. That was created by Peace2Peace. They are a group of women from all parts of Cyprus - Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots alike - working together for a common goal: peace in Cyprus.
Amen to that.
Anyway, before they did that, they did this one.
Second Grade Eggs
These eggs crop up a few times around Paphos. I prefer the other sort, that don't have a visible frame. These don't look very realistic. Now, I know, there is nothing realistic about a giant painted egg, but I do like them to at least look like eggs.
Work In Progress
They have started renovating the park. Well, they started a while back. I don't think they are doing anything right at the moment.
There used to be a fountain here but it is full of soil now. Will it be turned into a flower bed or do they have something else planned?
There are a few arches to the rear of this shot, which look interesting from here. On closer inspection they were pretty dull though, and didn't lead to any mysterious underground chambers or anything.

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.
