The Paphos Coast In Winter
Little Jetty
In summer that area will be full of swimmers and inflatables. The rocks form a natural protective harbour around the beach, making it ideal for kids.
Watersports
You can also partake in a variety of watersports.
Interesting
Next to Pachyammos Beach there is a municipal beach (and car park). It is to the right of this picture. On the opposite side of the beach is some sort of sea defence or jetty. As far as I am concerned though, its main function is to generate splashes. I am using my new GoPro camera that has a great slomo function. So I think it will be nice to get a slomo of some crashing waves. I have been experimenting for a while with it. Unless you are close-up, the waves don't look that spectacular in slomo. You really need to be able to see the individual water droplets. So I will head for that jetty.
A Lone Angler
When I was filming this I got in a muddle as to what to call this person. Fisherman, fisherwoman, or person? Modern times can be complicated, especially when talking into a microphone with limited editing capabilities. Fortunately, in the comfort of my office, I can opt to use the term "Angler" instead.
Olympic Lagoon Resort
In front of (or behind, depending on your point of view) the Municipal Beach is the Olympic Lagoon Resort.

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.
