Paphos Sea Front Gale
After three weekends of rain, the weather decided to up the ante a bit and added a gale into the mix. Finally the sea demonstrated just how poweful it could be. This always makes for a spectacular scene so we decided to join in the fun and went out to take some photographs...
The Outdoor Gym
Let's begin our photo journey at the Eastern end of the Sea Front, near Bania Restaurant. Aside from the beach by the castle, this is the best place to see crashing waves when the sea gets rough.
Crashing Waves
As if on queue...
No Swimming
I can't tell from this distance but I imagine the flag on the right on the Lifeguard Station means "No Swimming".
Bania Restaurant
If you come here to take photographs, expect to share your views with lots of other photographers, as it is a popular spot. You can see why too.
Seriously?
It looked like somebody was contemplating having a swim, which is not a good idea at all. Perhaps I am doing them a disservice though. They could be a photographer trying to get the ultimate shot. Who knows?

Stormy Seas
Paphos took a bit of a battering over Christmas. The storms were relentless and nature put on a display the match of any New Year's Eve pyrotechnics. Once the dust had settled, we took our cameras out for a spin. This is the blog of the film we published a couple of days ago...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.
