On A Clear Day...

Distant Forest

We stopped just outside of Giolou, on the way to Stroumpi, for this view and the previous picture.

It looks like there is more much needed rain in the forest.

We got back in our car and continued the journey. However, I soon realised that despite stopping, I had completely forgotten to check the doors. The light was still on, so once again I had to pull over. This gave me the chance of taking this nice sea view. You can see Giolou in the middle distance and beyond that, the Polis Coast.

Cross Country

Once we hit Stroumpi, we decided to turn left and take the scenic, off-road route back to Polemi. The village can be seen in the distance. The winery is just to the right of this shot.

We spotted this hunter on our journey home, but didn't have time to get out the zoom lens. You can see the coast in the distance too. Proof that Polemi has a sea view, if you don't mind a bit of mud.

Polemi Tulip Festival 2018

This morning, Polemi was bathed in Spring sunshine, as it invited people to come and see the tulips that flourish there every year. It is an annual event, which gives a true taste of traditional Cypriot life. And as we live in Polemi ourselves, it would be rude not to cover it, wouldn't it?

Cyprus 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.
