Paphos Coast Walk Part 3
Pavilion
Now, while I was looking up the difference between a pergola and a gazebo, another name kept cropping up - pavilion. The difference between a gazbo and a pavilion was a bit vague, but seemed to be mainly one of size. Google wasn't much help, so I danced with the devil for a bit and consulted the AI monster that is ChatGPT. It had this to say:
Pavilions are large, open-air structures often used for events or as a covered seating area, gazebos are freestanding structures with a roof and open sides used as a focal point for outdoor activities, and pergolas are garden features used to provide partial shade or to define an outdoor space.
On that basis, I think I can describe this rather magnificent structure as a pavilion. Incidently, that was only the summary, it went on at some length but I think you get the idea.
Barbara Bay
According to Google, this part of the coast is known as Barbara Bay. I have no idea how accurate that is though.
Aquamare
Behind Barbara Bay you will find the Aquamare Hotel. I couldn't see any sign for it, so you will just have to take my word.
It seems to be a popular hotel, as a lot of the sunbeds were in use.
I have to say I rather liked the way the gardens of the Aquamare were laid out. There are lots of nooks and crannies and it is very green. Certainly it would be a very relaxing place to sunbathe in.

Riccos Beach Area
The other day I went out to photograph some of the beaches around Paphos. We have a beaches directory and I figured it needed some more up-to-date images. However, it soon became apparent that the beaches are still getting prepared for the Summer Season. So while the pictures I took won't be suitable for the directory, I thought you might like to see what's occurring. In this article, we take a look at Riccos Beach Area, in Geroskipou.

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.
