A Paphos November Storm
Every winter Paphos gets hit by a number of gales and storms. You would think we would be used to them by now, but nevertheless, when they arrive they are always a big event. During the last storm I visited most of the beaches along the Southern Paphos Coast, to show you what they looked like when the sun isn't shining.
Geroskipou Beach
I have already published a film of my adventures, and have included a link to it at the end of this article. A number of people asked me about some of the beaches. We have a Beaches directory on our website, that contains photos, information and virtual tours, so I will provide links to the relevent entry as the article progresses.
St Nicholas Chapel Area
This is the beach by St Nicholas Chapel. You can see that an awful lot of seaweed has been washed ashore. Don't worry though, it will be removed before next holiday season.
St Nicholas Chapel
As we were by the chapel it would be rude not to include a picture of it.
Pachyammos Beach
Pachyammos Beach is behind the Louis Imperial Beach Resort. Normally it is great for families with small children. Not today though!
Does anybody know why Pachyammos Beach is so-called? There is a village on the North Coast called Pachyammos, and that has its own beach. So why does this one share the same name?
Municipal Beach
Next to Pachyammos Beach there is a municipal beach, and big parking area. Beyond that there is a small jetty, which always takes a battering when the gales blow.

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...

They're removed all the fencing at the Sea Front! You can now walk along it unfetered, but if you try to do so today you would do well to bring a brolly with you. I ventured out to film it...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.
