The Pafos2017 Closing Ceremony
Published 30th of December, 2017
Pafos2017 has been an amazing success story for Paphos, but all good things come to an end. This was how Paphos said goodbye to it's European City of Culture Status...
Preparations
Naturally enough, we had a peek a couple of days before the event, to see what was in store...
Clouds?
The last gig we went to was Roger Waters in Wembley Stadium. Would this be Paphos' answer to his giant inflatable pig?
Big Screen Action
Obviously they were expecting crowds. They had big screens for those further back.
Interesting...
Nothing to do with the event, but couldn't help spotting this by the bandstand. Will need to investigate later.
Practising The Lights
So, all looks set. How did it all pan out? Find out on the next page...

New Old Paphos
It's been a few months since we last reported on the progress of the Old Paphos Regeneration Scheme.I had to visit the main Cyta Shop recently, and as I had time to kill I decided to take my camera for a stroll, to see how things were progressing. Autumn was in the air and the skies were fairly grey. There was even some rain at some point. However, the pictures will still hopefully show what a wonderful place Old Town Paphos is becoming.

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.
