Paphos Coast Path - Part 4 - From SODAP To The Sea Front
Portable Platform
In winter that floating jetty is removed and presumably placed in storage somewhere. I wonder where it goes?
Alykes Beach
This is the third blue flag winner on today's section, believe it or not. Alykes (pronounced AleyeKEY) Beach has the coveted coloured flag, and the lifeguard station and information sign to prove it. It seems to incude the walkway from here to the Municipal Baths in its territory too. Certainly the sunbeds outside Annabelle Hotel, which we shall see in a minute, are labelled as such. The beach you see in this photo is actually next to The Almyra Hotel though.
No Dogs
It is worth noting that dogs are not allowed on at least this section of the Coastal Path. I know that up in Chloraka they are permitted, provided they are on a lead. But here, it is a complete no-no.
Swimmers Galore
Curiously enough, most visitors to the beach tend to ignore that sandy bit and head for the rocky jetty a bit further along. This is a good place for snorkelling by the way. We saw a turtle here a few years ago, and it was fantastic swimming nearby. If you are lucky enough to see one yourself, please don't attempt to feed it or touch it. Just watch from a discrete distance, and appreciate its beauty.
Annabelle Sunbeds
These sunbeds in front of the Annabelle Hotel can be used by anybody, for a small (€2.50) fee. You can also hire a towel and a little safe.

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.
