Paphos Museum March Update
New Build
The Museum will reside in the Old Police Station, which is the building with the red roof. In front of that, in this picture, they have constructed another building to complement it. It currently looks like a wrapped parcel.
New Gardens
This shows the B6 from above. It is the road where the Carnival went a few weeks ago.
Interesting Features
There is going to be a lot happening in the garden area. Can't wait...
Back On The Ground
Anyway, once I had parked the car I wandered around the perimeter of the Construction Site. This is Kennedy Square next to it. The weather was quite overcast so apologies if the pictures look a bit heavy.
Frontage
The Old Police Station was a listed building, and the new museum had to keep it's facade. This is a good thing as it is a lovely structure. I only ever went inside once (to report a car break-in), and was amazed at the amount of wood there was. Stacks of paperwork in wooden shelves, with wooden floors and wooden railings. It was a huge fire risk.

Kennedy Square Renovations Update - September 2024
You may recall that the Old Police Station in Kennedy Square is being renovated. It will eventually become the Paphos Historical Documentation Centre. This sounds a bit dry but it refers to the Historical Past of Paphos, rather than piles of old documents. There will also be lovely gardens and walkways. It is now September and the project isn't due to be completed until mid next year, but we thought we would let the drone give you an idea as to how they are progressing...Related Pages

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.
