Old Paphos Pumpkin Paradise
The other day I was out taking photographs for the next part of my local around Old Town in 2022. Along the way I called into Pumpkin House, to see how Evi was getting along. Her emporium will feature in that story, but there was so much new stuff to see the shop that I thought it deserved its own article. So come and have a look at what Evi has been creating...
A Square Of Hands
Near the Markideio Theatre in Old Paphos, is a Square with a nice statue in it, showing lots of hands. Behind that statue is a fine yellow building. And within that building you can find Pumpkin House.
Warm Welcome
So don't be shy! Come in and peruse the pumpkins.
Plenty Of Pumpkins
This is not the first time we have showed you around Pumpkin House. For our previous visits, see the links at the foot of the page. I shall try and focus on some of the latest additions to the family of creations.
Something For All Budgets
Most of the merchandise is on display in the front room. We shall take a closer look in a while. First, let's say hello to Evi.
Meet The Artist
Evi Kokkinou has an amazing talent for turning pumpkins (or gourds) into beautiful works of art.

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.
