Paphos Blossom
Paphos is very beautiful in the Springtime. The budding flowers and verdant pastures are a stark contrast to the golden brown hues of the summer. A simple drive through the countryside can yield some colourful displays. Don't just drive past them. Stop, and take in the scene.
Sea View
We begin our adventure here, in Marathounta. Actually, we started in Paphos, and were headed back to Polemi. We decided to go via Minthis Hills for a change, as we wanted to photograph blossom.
The Famous Marathounta Viewing Platform
As we were passing we thought we would begin with a shot from their quirky viewing platform.
Nice View
THere was some blossom in evidence but nothing too spectacular.
Towards Monthis Hills
So we continued our journey up to Minthis Hills. A couple of days ago Alex had driven past an orchard that was beginning to bloom, and wanted to check it out.
The orchard is located just before the turning to Minthis Hills Resort. We parked in a small Layby and went to check it out. Alex walked alongside the road so that she was above the trees, whereas I went down into the orchard itself.

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.
