Paphos From Above
Over the last couple of months we've done a few films showing a drone-eye view of Paphos. While we were filming we also took some pictures. They've sat around gathering digital dust so I thought I would put them together into an article. So enjoy a bird's-eye view of Paphos...
St Nicholas Chapel
We shall begin our photo adventure with a slightly long-range shot of St Nicholas Chapel. This is a very popular wedding venue and is a very photogenic spot. There is an Archaeological Site behind it, which has been under some scrutiny in recent years. There are plans to build a hotel on the ruins, though I don't know what the current status is.
Going West
The coastline here is fairly rocky, though it would make snorkelling quite interesting. The hotels you can see are (from right to left) Pioneer Beach, Aquamare, Ivi Mare and Maris Beach.
Maris Beach
Moving west, the hotels soon become too numerous to mention here. You can easily locate them however, if you look in our Paphos Tourism Directory. You can also find information on all the beaches and travel agents there.
Sand and Rocks
From here the coastline looks mainly rocky, with the occasional jetty. However, as you approach the centre of Paphos you will find a number of Blue Flag beaches tucked away.
Athena Royal
This is the Athena Beach Hotel. Behind it and slightly to its right, you can just make out a tower which looks like a lighthouse. That belongs to the Aliathon Resort.
It is worth noting that Google Maps incorrectly identifies this as the Athena Royal Hotel. That is in fact on the far left of this picture.

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.
