Paphos Seafront Kataklysmos Celebrations
Monday is Kataklysmos, and Paphos Sea Front is having its annual festival.Why not wander down later and check out the stalls? This is what it is like...
Harbour View
The other day I went for a wander around the Harbour area, to see how the work was progressing. It turns out that the Kataklysmos Market had arrived at the Sea Front, so I extended my walk, and this article, to take that in. You can also see last year's report on the Paphos Kataklysmos Celebrations here.
Missing Statue
We shall start up by the castle and walk through the restaurant area to the Kataklysmos Kiosks. The first thing I noticed was that the statue by the castle was no longer in place. Has it been removed for safe keeping while the renovation work is underway?
DaVinci's
Next up, the new cafe in the building next to the castle has taken shape. It appears to be an Ice Cream parlour.
New Doors
One of the things I was on the lookout for were some doors. The Mayor had mentioned these on social media. They are lovely wooden doors that have replaced the old metal ones. They certainly look better.
Mystery Circle
I saw this mysterious ring from above, while flying the drone, and wondered what it was. Up close, I can now see that it is a little track for radio-controlled boats. If you look carefully you can just see a boat mounted on the wordwork to the right of the lighthouse. Now that's a blast from the past!

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.
